athELITE Performance Therapy

We are a sports medicine clinic whose focus is to return our patients to the their sport better than before.

athELITE Performance Therapy is a rehabilitation clinic unlike many others. athELITE Performance Therapy was born out of a desire to bring the highest quality of physical therapy to our patients in an ever changing world of insurance reimbursement. Over the years insurance reimbursements for physical therapy has steadily declined, while costs to deliver physical therapy and cost of living have increased. In order to increase revenue and maintain profit margins, traditional cookie-cutter physical therapy clinics have simply increased their volume to offset annual decreases in reimbursement. This means that because they are getting paid less to deliver care, they simply stack patients up on top of each other and some therapists end up seeing 20-30 patients a day. This means that while you may be in the clinic for an hour or even longer, you may only get 10-15 minutes of face time with your therapist. 10-15 minutes is not nearly enough to diagnose and treat your condition thoroughly. Many times patients do not receive the outcomes that are possible and quite frankly, the outcomes they deserve. This is the reason why we only see patients on a 1-to-1 basis for a full hour so that our Doctors can adequately assess and treat their condition. Our focus is to help facilitate the return our patients to the activities they love without pain or discomfort. At athELITE Performance Therapy, our mission is to re-teach our patients how to move and manipulate their bodies in a manner that minimizes stress and the chance of injury. Through education and empowerment, we give our patient's the tools to understand and manage their pain throughout their lifetime.

That’s the part people often miss. Relief feels nice in the moment, but it’s not the goal. The goal is what you can do afterwards, and that’s where the real progress lives 👏

After a skilled session your nervous system finally calms. Strength actually transfers. Mechanics clean up. And then load and impact can be progressed without pain dictating the session.

Here’s the twist: you don’t always need hands-on work to get this though.

With the right guidance and programming, you can carry that “after” into your training consistently, building capacity, strength, and confidence without waiting for the next session.

Manual therapy opens the door… The training that follows is what locks it in…. That’s the difference between temporary relief and lasting performance 🔥

Plyometrics build explosive power, speed, and reaction time—helping athletes jump higher, move faster, and perform at their best. 💥

Strength training isn’t just for performance — it’s one of the strongest scientifically proven ways to prevent injuries in athletes.
⁣
Large meta-analyses show that athletes who perform regular resistance training experience 33–50% fewer injuries — and when injuries do occur, they’re often less severe.
⁣
Why it works:
• Builds tissue capacity (muscle, tendon, bone)
• Improves force absorption & joint stability
• Reduces fatigue-related breakdown
• Enhances neuromuscular control under load

From a quad tendon tear, to a couple tough workouts with no offers, to finally signing with the , journey was all resilience 💪🏽🏈

He came to us after doing PT elsewhere and was just not getting the momentum he needed. No blame, no shade, sometimes the plan just isn’t the right fit.

What mattered most was that he showed up ready to work, stayed locked in, and trusted the process.

Together with , we reset his program and focused on the gaps holding him back.

Within a few short weeks, he was moving like himself again and walking into workouts with confidence.

A couple of workouts without a contract… and then the call came.

Signed by the Rams! 👏🔥

Proud of his perseverance, proud of the work he put in, and proud to play a small part in getting him back where he belongs, on the field!

Mobility training in conjunction with sports-performance training is shown to have significant effects on injury prevention, speed, balance, and jump performance.

By improving joint range of motion and control, athletes can move more efficiently, generate more power, and recover faster — all while reducing the risk of overuse injuries.

Incorporating mobility work into your routine isn’t just about flexibility — it’s about building the foundation for strength, stability, and longevity in your sport.

Knowing when to use static vs dynamic stretching can make a huge difference in how your body performs and recovers.

✅ Dynamic stretching is best before training — it activates your muscles, improves coordination, and preps your body for performance. Think: leg swings, arm circles, walking lunges.

✅ Static stretching is best after workouts — it helps reduce muscle tension, promotes relaxation, and supports long-term flexibility. Think: hamstring holds, quad stretches, seated reaches.

In short:
➡️ Dynamic = prepare
➡️ Static = recover

Move better. Recover smarter.

Retro walking = simple, powerful, and underrated
Walking backwards challenges your body and brain — improving balance, coordination, and proprioception while activating muscles that support the knees and hips.

It strengthens your quads, improves joint stability, sharpens cognitive function, and can even help reduce knee pain by changing how your joints are loaded.

Perfect for athletes, rehab, or anyone looking to move and feel better 💪🧠

One lazy day a week might be exactly what your muscles need.

Rest isn’t the opposite of training, it’s part of it. Recovery is when the real progress happens. Without it, your body stays inflamed, your muscles can’t rebuild, and your gains hit a plateau.

Research shows that a full rest day each week helps:
• Reduce muscle inflammation
• Rebuild and grow muscle tissue
• Replenish energy stores (like glycogen)
• Balance hormones like cortisol and testosterone
• Prevent overuse injuries
• Improve long-term performance

Even elite athletes schedule rest to let their bodies adapt and grow stronger. Skipping recovery slows you down, no matter how hard you train.

You’re not being lazy. You’re giving your body what it needs to come back better.

So block off one full day each week.

Sleep in, take a walk, stretch, breathe....

Your muscles will thank you for it.

Your future strength and performance depends on it.
