City: Elite Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine offers Physical Therapy services in Kansas City.
Since it opened 15 years ago, Elite has been focused on providing individualized and accurate Physical Therapy. All appointments are held in private treatment rooms for one-on-one care.
We provide more privacy and fewer distractions, creating a calm and focused environment that is perfect for successful recovery.
In 2020, private rooms offered an additional advantage: Distance and increased comfort for patients, as each individual could stay separate while undergoing Physical Therapy.
Patients have the option to use our open gym space with all the necessary equipment if they are looking to get back into the gym, back into the game, or just to do activities like taking the stairs without discomfort. Alternatively, they can choose to remain in their treatment room during their appointment.
Get back into a vigorous routine, achieve your highest level of success, and make sure you have a plan to prevent possible aches, pains, and injuries in the future.
Elite Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy offers a better way to receive physical therapy in Kansas City - an accurate and customized treatment that helps patients regain their mobility and have a long, active, and pain-free life.
We do not take shortcuts, but instead establish a genuine connection with each patient to determine the root cause of their discomfort. We utilize personalized physical therapy to address and eliminate the pain at its source, prevent future injuries, and help you return to the activities you enjoy.
Elite Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I recently completed a course of physical therapy at Elite Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy. The staff is wonderful. Leo was so welcoming and very efficient and always greeted everyone one with a smile. My therapist was Hannah and she was the greatest. She was so kind and patient with me and I could not believe my progress and the quick improvement in my pain level. I actually had a really great time at Elite and I will miss coming on Wednesday mornings. Thank you for the wonderful care and I will recommend Elite to anyone I know who needs therapy.
Fantastic experience: Mark has been diligent and client focused throughout my time with him battling pain in multiple areas of my spine. I now have countless exercises to focus on that have dramatically improved my pain.The staff as a whole is very welcoming and professional. Cant recommend ELITE enough, if your having pain, turn here and you will feel better!!
Fantastic experience: The BEST doctorate degreed and specialists therapists in the city. You will enjoy a new life after therapy at Elite. Motivation toward a common goal between you and your therapists is paramount in wellness and they deliver! They truly are miracle makers.
Fantastic experience: I used Elite for pre-hab and have had 3 post op. rehab visits Jenny does a great job and I always feel more limber in my knee and in less pain at the end of each visit. I highly recommend both Elite and Jenny for your physical therapy needs.
Fantastic experience: My son had a sports related baseball injury. Biagio Mazza diagnosed, treated, and gave a plan of action that was spot on. He was able to get my son back on the field and ended up performing better than ever. The facility and staff are top notch!
That's so great to hear! We hope your son continues to excel!
Fantastic experience: Justin Sneed is a very good, hands on therapist. Has really helped my back/leg issues.
Justin truly is one of the best! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Justin is fantastic! Thank you for sharing your review!
Fantastic experience: Taylor Neilson saw me on referral from my podiatrist for a drop foot problem. My left foot had developed weakness and a drop when walking that led to catching on the ground as I walked. I had painful cramping at night and was afraid that I might easily fall. I thought I had a problem with the nerves or muscles of my left leg. I had been referred to a Cardiac vascular intervention specialist for possible peripheral arterial disease. He did not find a vascular component. My podiatrist referred me to Elite for rehab of my affected leg. Taylor met with me and did her workup to assess my drop foot problem. She immediately picked up that I had a neurological problem and referred me to a Board Certified in Sports Medicine and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician. This Dr. ordered an MRI and gave a diagnosis of arthritis of my spine at L4,L5 causing impingement of nerves causing the foot drop. Taylor worked with me to strengthen my muscles and improve balance to help address the damage done. I feel lucky to have had Taylor recognize the problems I experienced and provide the care and professional judgement needed to rectify my problem.
We are so happy to hear that Taylor was of such help to you. She is a wonderful PT and we are grateful that she has helped you so much. We hope you continue to find improvement!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was really nice, super helpful, and very accommodating with my schedule. In just a few sessions they helped fix my back problems that I had been having for months
That's great, David! Thanks so much for sharing.
Fantastic experience: I started with Mark Lawhon about six weeks ago. I was trying to improve my walking and balance after a recent hip replacement. He is an excellent trainer, and has been very helpful in improving my condition. Leo and Hannah have also been very helpful.
Thank you for sharing your review, Bob. We are grateful to have such wonderful members on our staff!
Fantastic experience: Amazing Mark (and Biagio)!! Biagio evaluated me sent me to who I needed to strengthen my knee and adjoined parts, so I could function despite my agonizing swollen knee, meniscus tear and damaged cartilage. Mark sees the connecting muscles and tendons and strengthens them with instrument soft tissue repair and great exercises for the entire side. I am almost 69 and there is a noticeable improvement every time I am at Elite. No limp, pain much less, and I may jog again!!! If you have a bad knee.. go to Elite!!!
Incredible!!! What a great testimony. Thank you for sharing, Kathryn.
Fantastic experience: Title: Exceptional Care and Healing at Elite PT! I have been a loyal patient of Elite PT for over 14 years, seeking treatment for various ailments, and I cannot speak highly enough of their exceptional services. After multiple disappointing experiences with other physical therapists at different facilities, I discovered that Elite PT was truly different right from the start. Their comprehensive assessments, therapy treatments, and personalized exercise plans have consistently aided my healing process and helped me achieve my goals. Recently, I faced severe knee pain that significantly limited my mobility. Upon consulting a knee surgeon, I was recommended to undergo kneecap replacement surgery, with the option to try non-surgical alternatives first. The surgeon recommended a physical therapy clinic that was five minutes from my home and against my better judgement I thought I'd give it a try. It was 15 minutes closer to my home than Elite PT and I needed to be seen three times a week. My experience at a closer facility was frustrating. For three months, I diligently attended therapy sessions three times a week and faithfully performed knee exercises for 30 minutes every day. I finally realized that I was wasting my time. I wasn't healing. Frustrated, I reached out to Biagio at Elite PT and admitted my mistake of seeking treatment elsewhere. Biagio graciously provided a free consultation and prescribed a simple exercise routine that only took four minutes a day. To my amazement, within a week, I noticed a significant improvement in my pain levels, and by the end of four weeks, the pain was completely gone. Biagio's expertise and understanding of complex anatomy made all the difference in my healing journey. I have since returned to Elite PT for another injury, and once again, they guided me towards a full recovery. In conclusion, the disparity between a comprehensive evaluation by a true expert and merely settling for average care is immense. When you entrust your healing to professionals who possess a deep understanding of the body's intricate mechanics, you give yourself the best chance to heal conservatively and regain your health. If you're willing to put in the work and truly want to heal, I highly recommend Elite PT—their exceptional care and expertise make all the difference! Rating: ★★★★★
Wow, Kathleen! Thank you for your thorough review. We strive our best to provide top-notch treatment for every single patient. We love hearing stories about how the way we do things truly makes a difference. Thank you for sharing. We are so glad you are feeling better!
Fantastic experience: I have had PT multiple times but Elite is by far the best experience I have ever had. All therapy in a private room one on one with a talented and caring therapist makes all the difference in the world. At other places the therapist starts you on an exercise then has you do it on your own while they see other patients. I would highly recommend Elite for anyone needing physical therapy.
Thank you for your feedback. We strive to provide the very best care. We are happy to hear that is exactly what you experienced!
Fantastic experience: Jennet’s PT regiment reduced the amount of pain from a pinched nerve within 5 sessions and by 98% by the 10th. This was after living with severe pinched nerve for 4 months! Thank you for such a well trained and knowledgeable team! Now I am returned to 99.9% of comfort and mobility!
Wow! What an incredible story. Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: I have been here a couple of times and received great treatment from Carol. Thank you, keep up the good work!:)
Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. My issues were identified and a plan of recovery set. My therapist listened and encouraged every appointment.
Thank you for sharing your feedback :)
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient for almost a year. My PT Carol has taken the time to get to know me as a person not just her patient. It has helped me trust her and her judgement when it comes to my back and neck. I feel like we are a team!
We are so happy to hear that you have had such a great experience. Carol is fantastic! Thanks for sharing :)
Fantastic experience: Brett is is the most knowledgeable and very effective results oriented therapist I have ever experienced.
We've been so fortunate to have Brett on our team for all these years. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic experience: Went to Elite PT for torn meniscus in the knee and was able to go on my dream cruise with their help .
Fantastic experience: 2 different treatments. 1 for my back/leg cramps: caring and effective hands on activities with a home program that fixed what the doctor could not! 2: trigger finger: massage and stretching that fixed my bent finger, resolved the pain issue, and prevented surgery! I enjoyed the on time visits, caring therapists who listened to my problems and worked with me to formulate realistic treatment programs that resolved my issues. I highly recommend Elite, and have referred friends there as well!
Thank you for your feedback, Steven! We are glad to hear that you are doing so well.
Fantastic experience: The physical therapists at Elite attentive, patient and listen to me. I continually appreciate their efforts to help me get back to my daily routine.
Fantastic experience: My experience at Elite has been excellent, and so motivating. Very good for my well-being.
Fantastic experience: I am currently a client at Elite. I am very happy with my experience. The front desk does a great job with questions and scheduling. Christina, my therapist, is so knowledgeable and easy to work with. I feel so much better since starting physical therapy. My husband also attended therapy at Elite and feels therapy here made a big change in his life.
We are so happy to hear that both you and your husband have had such a good experience at Elite. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic experience: Hannah was excellent and patient with me during my PT for a rotator cuff injury. She helped me relieve pain and taught me exercises to do at home. I would highly recommend Elite Sports PT. I had gone there several years ago with success and would go back again.
Thank you for your feedback! We are happy to hear that you continue to have a great experience.
Fantastic experience: I had a great, life altering experience there. I was almost unable to walk when I first started working with Elite. Now I can walk comfortably. I'm 82 years old and that's a lot.
That's amazing, Maura! We are thrilled to hear it. Keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I tried several physical therapy businesses before I found Elite PT. They have been helping me now for a couple of years. My experience has been a good one -- people always pleasant and well qualified. I can highly recommend them for whatever problem you have.
Thank you for sharing, Marian!
Fantastic experience: I have been a client at Elite Sports Medicine. The staff is very knowledgeable and professional. Appointments are easy to schedule and wait times are minimal to nonexistent. I would highly recommend their services.

Carol is fantastic! Thanks for sharing, Fred.
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Jenn for a few months now and we have seen significant improvement in the strength of both my knees. You have to do the work in and out of their facility but my experience has been great. I highly recommend the Elite team. Dan ONeill

Fantastic experience: Beautiful clinic space! Private treatment rooms, very clean, and good equipment. Some of the best therapists I have worked with!
Thank you for sharing! We pride ourselves on all of the things you listed :)
Fantastic experience: I appreciate that you have helped me with physical therapy during a pinched nerve in my lumbar and such pain in my hip. Leo you are amazing and I appreciate your helpful, friendly manner. Dr. Hannah, you have helped me so very much and I really thank you for your patience, timeliness, and understanding how to help me feel better.
Thank you for sharing this review, Rhonda. We are happy to hear that you had such a great experience with Hannah, and with Leo.
Fantastic experience: I am extremely grateful to have found Elite for physical therapy. Taylor is amazing, personable, positive, encouraging and informative. It's a joy to have her a therapist. Elite's staff is top notch as well -- friendly, communicative, welcoming, awesome! Highly recommend all the way around! Thank you Team Elite!!
Thank you for your kind words, and for sharing your experience!!
Fantastic experience: They do an amazing job here! Very friendly and motivating staff.
Thanks, Jaida!
Fantastic experience: More than 5-star first impression at Elite! Phone answered by a human! Evaluation appointment scheduled within week of call! Parking 20 steps from front door! Free evaluation performed by very knowledgeable therapist! Knee pain greatly improved in first week!! I am looking forward to next appointment and total recovery from my knee injury!
Incredible! We are happy that you experienced such quick relief. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic experience: Elite PT staff members are very Professional & Mark Lawton has been great to work !
Mark is great! Thanks for sharing
Fantastic experience: I think they're great at what they do. Very professional. I feel much better even after just a few visits.
Thanks, Peter. Glad to hear that you began feeling better quickly!
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience. The front desk did a great job getting treatments scheduled on short notice and were great about calling with times from cancellations. Therapists provided treatments and exercises that speeded recovery and improved range of motion and reduced pain rapidly.
Thanks for sharing! We are thrilled to hear of your improvements.
Fantastic experience: Went to Elite for PT on my 2nd knee replacement surgery. My therapist,Hannah, was absolutely brilliant. She really concentrated on the problem areas which made for a quick recovery. She is very skilled and the facilities are great. I wish I had known about them for my 1st knee.
Thank you for sharing! We are glad you had such a successful recovery this go-round. We're glad you found us :)
Fantastic experience: I had the best experience at Elite Physical Therapy! During my sophomore year of high school I got hit in the head with a softball during practice which left me with a severe concussion that lasted for months. My physical therapist was Mark and he did anything and everything that he could to get me feeling better and back on track for sports. He advocated for me whenever needed; to my school, to my teachers, to my coaches, he was my #1 supporter! I went on to have a really successful cross country and track season after my injury, fully recovered. I could've never have done it without Elite Physical Therapy, or Mark.I felt supported, and they really took my physical and mental well-being seriously. Cannot recommend enough!
What a tough challenge to face. Mark is one of the best -- both as a Physical Therapist but also as an advocate for his patients. We are thrilled to hear of your full recovery! Thank you for sharing your story.
Fantastic experience: The front desk people are fun and professional. The physical therapy is 1 on 1. I haven't seen any "group therapy" where one therapist is working with multiple people at the same time. My therapist is keenly aware of my (unfortunately) many limitations. He's asked about the input from all my doctors including my chiropractor and has incorporated their input into my therapy. He's pushed me hard enough to get results without risk of injury. If there is one drawback, it is that the schedule fills up quickly. But that is probably just a symptom of the great work they do.
Thank you for sharing, Scott! We are happy you got the results you were looking for.
Fantastic experience: My PCP recommended Elite several years ago when I had some leg stiffness so when I had hip replacement surgery earlier this year I knew exactly where to go. Front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. And my therapist Christina was great. Will be going back when I get my other hip done!
We're happy to have you! Thank you for trusting us with your care :)
Fantastic experience: Megan has been great during my first few visits. She met me where I am physically and has adapted the therapy to fit my condition. I've been to other therapy places and they are no where near the personalized experience you get at Elite. It is worth the drive for the personal treatment Megan provides.
Fantastic experience: Allison Messick is an awesome therapist. I am doing pre-op PT for knee replacement surgery. I believe this will greatly help in mobility and healing after surgery. I would highly recommend Allison and the Elite team. Thank you for helping me through this journey.
Allison is great! We hope surgery goes (or went) well, and hope your recovery is speedy.
Fantastic experience: Carol H. has been awesome. At first I was there to deal with a shoulder issue, but over time it has been so much more. Her approach not only dealt with my shoulder, but provided me with teaching and techniques that will prevent the future issues and lead to better conditioning overall. Highly recommended.
Carol is one of the best out there! We're glad you were able to not only resolve your shoulder issue, but prepare you for the future!
Fantastic experience: When I came to Elite Sports back in February, I was in low spirits after battling nagging knee pain and a grueling hamstring tear dating back to October of the previous year. I'm not going to call him an alchemist, but Mark Lawhon undid years of pain with a tailored workout regimen and knowledgeable tips on post-workout recovery and healing. For the first time since October, I'm playing basketball and running pain free — and that includes a peripheral fix on years of chronic knee pain dating back to my college playing days (circa, 2012).
We are so glad you were able to get rid of your pain and back to playing basketball and running. We know you love doing those activities. Enjoy!! Thanks for sharing your story.
Fantastic experience: Carol Henney has wonderful knowledge, instincts and perseverance with my chronic neck problem. She’s an incredible therapist!
Carol is fantastic, and can be so helpful in finally relieving chronic pain. We are happy you are on the road to recovery!
Fantastic experience: I worked with Morgan and she was awesome. A great experience and feel I have the tools to continue achieving my goal
Great! Thanks for sharing, Joanne.
Fantastic experience: When my orthopedic doctor couldn't figure out a two year old calf pain I turned to Elite for an evaluation. Brett is all ready helping me feel better and more confident that I am finding answers to this puzzling leg pain.
Incredible! We are so happy that you are finally getting some relief.
Fantastic experience: Biagio has an amazing approach to therapy. His thorough evaluation and careful care considerations have lead to significant improvements in my physical health. He has eliminated my pain and I am on the road to recovery.
That's great news! Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic experience: Hannah W is great- knows her stuff. Leo CC at front desk is really nice and helpful
Hannah and Leo are wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic experience: I am doing physical therapy for a back injury related to baseball, and after seeing multiple doctors and chiropractors I came to Elite and they have helped me out tremendously. I’ve Never had this experience before when recovering from an injury and I would recommend them to anyone who is recovering from any injury too.
Wow! That is so great that you finally have gotten some answers. We are thrilled to be helping to discover the issue, and finally get on the road to healing.
Fantastic experience: Elite is the best hands down when it comes to physical therapy. The staff are very nice, and answer any questions that you may have. Megan is such a sweetheart, I appreciate her knowledge and expertise, as well as her extremely careful attention to detail when she’s treating me. Thank you!!!!
Thanks, Derrick! Megan is one of the best there is.
Fantastic experience: I have been at Elite for years….and today I met a Balance/Vertigo PT specialist, Taylor Kaul…and I felt so safe and comfortable in her care! She knows her stuff!!! I HIGHLY recommend going to this caring, professional group of dedicated Physical Therapists who will align your needs with a PT caregiver….you will feel safe and comfortable too!
Taylor's expertise with Balance/Vertigo is incredible. We are grateful to have her on our team! Happy to hear she helped you as well :)
Fantastic experience: Fully understanding my injury and what steps are needed to heal and prevent reinjury was so important to me. I left every appointment with plenty of information about “how, why, do and don’t” which helped me get through a painful recovery process.
Fantastic experience: I am extremely impressed with Taylor Kaul, my therapist. She’s competent , supportive, and kind. I have been to a number of other Physical Therapy providers in the past and Taylor is by far the best yet!
Fantastic experience: Taylor Kaul has been working with Peter and has done a great job helping with his balance issues. She’s made him comfortable and knows where his problems are and has appropriate and meaningful activities to strengthen his balance.
Fantastic experience: Went to Elite in the beginning because it was close to home after knee replacement surgery. The experience has been phenomenal and I have not only accomplished full range of motion and strength and balance after 3 months, but also confidence in my physical ability to resume fitness regime and bicycling as a result of my work with Mark Lawhon. He knows what he is doing and he is very professional, personable, and made the hard work fun.
Wow, Catherine! That is GREAT! We are happy to hear that you've made such great progress.
Fantastic experience: I started therapy with Carol after my knee replacement surgery. I found her to be very knowledgeable as well as caring in her approach to get me back to normal. She instructed me on a variety of exercises I could do at home. Then she followed that up in our office sessions to determine which exercises were the right fit for me. She is a great listener. Because of that I feel I have received a tailor made recovery program. Thanks so much Carol
Fantastic experience: Matt was an amazing therapist and the staff are friendly and helpful. Thanks to Matt’s help I avoided surgery for a rotator cuff tear and am now pain free! I will definitely go to Elite for any future PT needs and highly recommend them. Also, the billing process was easy and they promptly issued me a refund when I overpaid.
That is great news! We are so happy you enjoyed your time here, are pain free, AND avoided surgery. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Elite for about 8 months now and Mark is my therapist. As my needs have changed since I started working with him, he has adapted and maintains such a positive attitude. I really enjoy working with him and he helps me a lot. The staff there are very nice and professional. I would highly recommend Elite Physical Therapy.
Thanks for sharing, Eiko! We're happy to hear your experience has been so great.
Fantastic experience: Am extremely pleased with the care I got at Elite PT. Office Staff is the Best.! And I couldn't have been Happier with my therapist MATT! He truly is everything you could ask for in a Physical Therapist. Thank you Elite and thank you Matt. ..So happy to have found you and your wonderful group of therapists.
Thank you for your kind words, Carol! We are happy you have enjoyed coming to Elite and seeing Matt!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Elite Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy for six months and have been incredibly pleased with my experience there. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they work hard getting you appointments that work with your busy schedule. After a hip replacement, I came to Elite on the recommendation from my post-op, home-health physical therapist, and what a great recommendation it was. I have been lucky enough to work with Allison Messick. Her extensive knowledge and treatment plan have resulted in great improvement of my hip and other related issues with my back. Allison constantly comes up with ideas and exercises that target my changing needs. My improvement has been the result of hard work and Allison's care and treatment. When deciding where to go for your physical therapy, choose Elite Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy...I'm so lucky that I did.
Thank you for sharing your story. Allison is great! We are happy you chose to come to Elite.
Fantastic experience: I am delighted with Elite Physical Therapy. I have become stronger, more flexible, and more upright with each visit. The therapist is both knowledgeable and friendly, as well as inquisitive about the specifics of my progress. My progress is reevaluated with each visit and redirected to my current status. I experience less pain after each visit and am enjoying the entire experience very much. I’ve actually achieved more than I expected, as I assumed some things could not be fixed. I am very hopeful of not only solving immediate problems but regaining skills I’d thought were lost with age.
That is all fantastic, Mark! We are so glad you've experienced such great improvements. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: My experience with Elite PT has been a very positive one. The office staff are friendly and helpful, and the "one on one" PT appointments allow for more personal attention than sharing a therapist with others. I have been fortunate to have worked with Allison Messick as my PT over the past two years. She is a compassionate and dedicated professional, one who cares enough to really listen to her patients and prepare a plan of therapy specific to their individual needs. I have had surgery on my hip as well as two knee replacements, one with complications, and she has worked diligently to help me to improve my strength and mobility. She has an in-depth knowledge of anatomy and is always able to modify an exercise if need be, and still work the necessary muscles. I highly recommend Allison and Elite PT. I have seen several therapists at various clinics and none compare!
Fantastic experience: I started PT in early June, 2020 after having hip and back pain for about 1 year. I have had the pleasure of seeing Allison Messick as my therapist and she has patiently and diligently worked with me and taught me exercises and movements to improve my strength and body mechanics. Although my pain is not completely gone, I have improved greatly and learned ways to help on the days that I have more pain. I have tools to help me continue to strengthen my core and hips. I have learned to use my hip joints to bend my body rather than the middle of my back which has helped me with tasks like cooking, doing dishes and standing at a counter. I appreciate Allison because she is very knowledgable on muscles and how they affect body movement. She always explains how each exercise is working to improve my strength and flexibility. She is very attentive to detail and is careful to show me the proper way to do each exercise so that I will not hurt my back. She certainly knows and clearly enjoys her profession…just the right balance of toughness and compassion….has been perfect for me. Elite PT is top drawer and a great place to get well.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing. We love hearing stories like this. Best of luck as you continue towards being completely pain free!
Fantastic experience: I have used Elite PT for assistance a couple times. Most recently I have been working with Taylor Kaul with shoulder issues. I have been very satisfied with Taylor's professionalism, her knowledge and her compassion. I am someone who likes to be educated about my health issues and Taylor has been an effective teacher. Elite PT is fortunate to have Taylor on staff. She is an asset and I am grateful that I am able to take advantage of her skill set as my shoulder is much improved and I am confident I will be back to 100% under her guidance.
Thanks for your kind words, Kim! We agree, Taylor is such and asset to us!
Fantastic experience: Elite has been an incredible place to work! It is such a unique place with so much experience under one roof! All therapists do a fantastic job of creating treatment plans individualized for their specific patients as well! All of our staff, from the front desk to each therapist, are extremely caring and welcoming from the moment patients walk through the door. With such a positive environment, it doesn't take long to feel like you are part of the PT family!
Fantastic experience: Great therapist...Justin Snead has brought me back from spinal surgery twice since 2016..made me a believer. He keeps up on all the latest and researches what is best for his clients. Personable and fun to be with...encourages and understands the needs as well as the doubts we all can have...at 74, I feel great and plan to be around for a while thanks to Justin and of course, my doctor, Dr Bamber!
Fantastic experience: Taylor is the nicest most competent PT professional I’ve had in my last 7 yrs of therapy. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Megan is such a fabulous therapist, she is patient, kind and so sweet. My knee is really starting to feel better. Thank you Megan
Fantastic experience: Mark has been awesome with helping me after my back injury! Everyone is very friendly and helpful here!
Fantastic experience: I didn't think too highly of physical therapy before I went to my first session. But boy did Morgan change my misguided beliefs! She has helped me with my shoulder pain in a way that can only be described as MAGICAL! I highly recommend going here for any physical problems that you might have. Everyone that I've had contact with has been very professional and they will definitely try their best to work out a schedule that works for you! Thank you MORGAN!!!
Fantastic experience: Biagio and the entire Elite staff is very friendly and they know their stuff! If you follow what they say and keep up with your physical therapy at home you will bounce back stronger than before! I tore my acl in my left knee and went here for PT post surgery. I did everything they said and kept up with my exercises religiously and to this day my balance is actually stronger on my left leg. I run, bike, climb, yoga, and don’t even think about it anymore!
That's fantastic, Nick! Thanks so much for sharing. We are happy to hear you are doing so well.
Fantastic experience: I started my therapy with a lot of pain in my shoulder and barely able to lift my arm. It’s been an amazing experience to work with Morgan. Her expertise and guidance have been instrumental in getting my arm moving again with little or no pain—thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: Brett Beltrame is my physical therapist. He is definitely 5 stars and the entire Elite team is great!
Fantastic experience: The "golden years" have their drawbacks, but Elite Sports Medicine helps. Neck and shoulder pain relieved! Low back pain relieved! Recommended exercises to strengthen core work! Friendly, knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: I am so happy with Elite physical therapy.In such a short time my knee has improved immensely. The therapists are so caring and knowledgeable. The staff is also very courteous and the place is clean and safe I will definitely recommend this place to others so they can be pain free.
Fantastic experience: I can't thank Biagio enough for setting me up to work with Mark Lawhon. Mark worked with me on hip and shoulder issues and he really knows his profession. He was right, strengthening these joints gave amazing, long lasting results. He also showed me several exercises I could do at home between visits. Keep up the good work. You're the best.
Fantastic experience: Brett is great. Super knowledgeable and a very nice person. Makes physical therapy much more pleasant than it sounds!!
Fantastic experience: Huge thank you to Biagio and his staff!! I’ve come in several times over the last couple of years with something different every time. Biagio and his staff have been wonderful and each time they have helped me get back to normal very quickly. I HIGHLY recommend Elite Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy!! Keep up the great work!!
Fantastic experience: At my doctors reference I went to Elite but I was skeptical and dreaded it. My therapist, Matt Morton impressed me with his knowledge, experience and sincere disposition. He listens patiently and knows what is the best treatment for me. He is dedicated to my successful improvement. I now look forward to my sessions
That's fantastic, Seymour! Matt is a great physical therapist. We are happy you have enjoyed it thus far.
Fantastic experience: I love the folks at Elite! My therapist Allison Messick has shown so much care. She has invested all of experience and knowledge in getting me better! I was really impressed when Allison consulted with the owner and on my next visit he came in during my visit and checked me out too! That committment is why I would highly recommend if you need physical therapy you need to call the folks at Elite and ask for Allison!! She's the best!!
Awesome! The very best level of care is what we strive for. Thank you for sharing your experience :)
Fantastic experience: I have been going here since last summer. Matt Morton is the best! He has helped me with problems i had with my feet and hips. He is so creative and comes up with many exetcises I can do at home.
That is all so great, Clark! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Mark for over 6 months and he is nothing short of amazing. His expertise and caring are apparent with every client he interacts with. I would highly recommend Elite, they are a first class operation.
Thank you for these kind words!
Fantastic experience: Megan has been fantastic to work with. She is getting my knee back to normal following replacement. I will continue with her until we feel we have accomplished what is necessary. Thanks Megan. And thank you staff.
Great! Thank you for sharing, Steve.
Fantastic experience: Megan is amazing. I broke my shoulder, but after working with her, I can put my hair up in a ponytail, raise my hand high in the sky, and fasten my bra in back with no problem! I am beyond grateful for her kind skillfulness! The front desk people are great, too! Very well run place!
That's all great news! It's easy to take the little tasks for granted. We are glad you can do those things again!
Fantastic experience: I have just completed my 4th week of therapy following my second knee replacement. Matt has been fantastic to work with. He has me well ahead of schedule and on track to get back in the golf course when golf season arrives this spring. I highly recommend Elite and Matt for your therapy needs following a joint replacement.
Awesome! Glad you will be able to enjoy golf this spring!
Fantastic experience: This is my 3rd and last physical therapist. Matt had been amazing. I was looking at having major back surgery. I am now off all pain medications and getting stronger by the day. Most importantly, no surgery! Thank you Matt!
Wow! That is GREAT! We are so happy to hear how well you are doing!
Fantastic experience: Brett has helped me stay active and without pain. Recommend him highly
Great! Brett is a wonderful PT.
