Elite Sports Therapy specializes in the treatment of soft-tissue injuries through the use of Active Release Techniques ®, Graston Technique ®, Contemporary Medical Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Massage Therapy, and Sports Injury Rehabilitation. By teaching the patient the cause of their injury, the aggravating factors of their injury, and the types of biomechanical compensations that occur as a result, the patient is empowered to play an active role in their recovery because they understand what is going on with their bodies. 

What makes us really different from the average health care practitioner is that we believe in attaining recovery quickly. We do not believe in multiple visits or long treatment plans. If we do not create a positive difference in the lives of our patients within a short time, we know to make the necessary referral to another health care practitioner. By empowering our patients with knowledge and the tools to recovery, we attain a success rate that is unparalleled in the health care industry.


What’s in a name?

Do not be fooled, the name Elite Sports Therapy does not imply that we work only with athletes.  While athletes are a primary focus of our patient base, we treat anyone with a musculoskeletal condition.  This can range from the desk worker suffering from a repetitive strain injury such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, to the recreational athlete training to compete in their first marathon, to the competitive bobsled athlete on their path to an Olympic berth.
