In 2021, Rachel founded Elite Physical Therapy to bring her vision to life - a practice dedicated to delivering the highest quality of care in an environment focused on the specific needs of each patient. No more juggling 25 patients a day, passing patients off to a tech instead of a PT, or letting a profit-driven healthcare system dictate how we care for our patients. Rachel went into this field to form meaningful connections with her patients and help them return to the activities they love, and that’s exactly what we do at Elite.

When she’s not in the clinic, Rachel enjoys spending quality time with family and friends, staying active through weightlifting, half marathons, and HYROX competitions, and traveling the world.

If you’re ready to work with doctors of physical therapy that truly love what they do, reach out to get the type of care you deserve!
