“I definitely think my balance is better after therapy, especially with walking. Leslie’s instruction with keeping my head up when I’m walking has helped.
My therapy experience has been eye-opening. I have had a wonderful experience. I will refer anyone who needs therapy to Elite PT.“

“Prior to my surgery, I was unable to enjoy some of my favorite physical activities like snow skiing, running, and my fitness training. The day-to-day activities of ‘just life’ were difficult.
After surgery, Leslie developed an extensive rehab regimen which strengthened the areas that had been virtually inactive for a very long time. She identified old behavior tendencies that could hamper my long term success.
I have now resumed my physical fitness training and will snow ski next year (the first time in 3 years).“

“When I came to Leslie I couldn't walk on the beach, step down off of a curb or get out of the car without having muscle spasms. I tried to do some basic simple exercises and my back spasmed and I couldn't get up off of the floor. I talked to my doctor and he suggested physical therapy.
My wife had had Leslie as a physical therapist the year before and had had great success so she suggested I go see her.
From the first time I went to Leslie I have not had a muscle spasm. She worked with me strengthening my core muscles, getting my muscles stretched out and I am doing great. I can do all of those things again plus anything I want to do.
Thank you Leslie for helping me get back to my life.“

“I could not bend over far enough to place a golf tee in the ground!
I thought I was going to have to give up my favorite hobby and exercise due to extreme pain in my lower back and legs anytime I would try to bend over.
After about one month of therapy with Brett Beltrame, I am now able to put that golf tee in the ground and enjoy golf again. Previously having tried pain medicine, epidural injections, fluoroscopic injections, all without success, I had become very discouraged.
Brett is a wonderful therapist whom I highly recommend!“

“I knew there was something wonderfully different about Elite from the moment they helped me schedule my therapy sessions.
At my first appointment with Julie, I needed assistance to get up from the chair in the waiting area and walk to her treatment room.
Today, I am proud to say that I spin 6-7 days a week, weight train, walk, bike outdoors, and hike in the mountains. The journey was long, but I certainly owe my success to the life changing team at Elite Physical Therapy. Elite offers outstanding SERVICE, comprehensive CARE and a professional and devoted STAFF!!!“

“To sum it up, Elite PT saved me.
I was blessed to be strong enough to carry our twins to full term, and yet after the delivery, my body was the weakest it had ever been. I started physical therapy with Matt Timm, unsure of how he could possibly help me. At the time, I found myself gutting through severe back pain doing even the simplest of activities: picking up my kids, kneeling to bathe them in the tub, carrying laundry baskets, emptying the dishwasher...simply put, I had no core strength and with ripped abdominal muscles, I didn't know how to get it back.
Matt Timm worked with me for a year doing intense PT, helping me learn to recognize and strengthen each abdominal and back muscle. Slowly, my back pain started to go away. At that point, Dr. Timm and I began weekly physical training sessions, incorporating the physical therapy exercises he had taught me. And then, after a few months, it happened...I started to recognize myself. My confidence came back. I began to enjoy exercise again.
In short, Matt gave me myself back. It's been three years since my weakest physical point, and today, because of Elite, I am the strongest both physically and mentally that I have ever been. Thank you!“

“It's no fun walking around massaging and manipulating your neck, hour after hour, on any given day. That's when I decided to be Leslie's pain in the neck…the one she was going to fix, that is!
And she did! Leslie is amazing. She is an expert in her field who knows how to listen, explain, diagnose, and fix your problem. The stenosis in my neck will never go away, but believe me, an incredible amount of the pain has done just that.
Thanks Leslie!“

“I was previously diagnosed with TMJ. This turned out to be TMJ plus severe tightening of various muscle groups in the upper extremity, causing severe and uncontrollable pain. I received very successful PT treatment. But one year later, the condition returned. The former therapist was unavailable but knew that Mrs. Leslie Ricketts of Elite had experience with this condition.
Just finishing some ten sessions with Mrs. Ricketts, the condition is again alleviated. I was somewhat apprehensive after four sessions. However, success started to appear and all is now under control. Mrs. Ricketts taught me several exercises that may prevent the return of pain. If not, Elite and Mrs. Ricketts will be contacted. Needless to say, I am well pleased!“

“Beginning in Fall of 2015 I had problems driving a car, even for short distances. Some 3 years ago I had experienced severe neck pain and was referred for 6 months of PT. It was successful. Although the new incident was not as painful I knew PT would be a great help.
At that point I was determined to locate and return to my previous therapist- Justin Snead. After a computer search I found him and Elite. He is always professional, polite, reassuring and kind. In less than 3 months my neck pain has subsided at least 80% and I am back to driving with minimal discomfort again. I am very pleased with the staff, facilities at Elite and especially Justin.
PS I just want to add that the most important part of being a PT patient is belief:
• In myself- I want to be part of the healing process
• In the therapy plan- a personal plan based on me
• In the therapist- is dedicated to my well-being“
