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.

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 💪🧠

Too many athletes are told to “trust the process” while their pain and instability stay the same! 😩😭

Alan had been dealing with knee pain for two years after ACL surgery, going from one PT to another…. until we finally got to the root of it.

At athELITE, we don’t hand out cookie-cutter programs.

We test, measure, and build everything specifically around you, your body, your movement, your goals.

Appreciate you, Alan, for trusting the process after we built one that actually made sense for you!

DM us if you’re in a similar situation. We would love to help you just like we’ve helped Alan 🤝

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.
