Investing in our team so we can continue delivering excellent care. 💪

This week at Elite Therapy & Performance, we spent time sharpening our approach to the cervical spine — reviewing clinical reasoning, assessment, reassessment, and hands-on manual therapy techniques.

Great treatment starts with understanding why we’re doing what we’re doing. The goal isn’t simply to learn more techniques — it’s to improve our ability to assess each patient, recognize meaningful changes, and choose the right intervention at the right time.

Continuing education and collaboration are a big part of our culture at Elite. When our team gets better, our patients get better care.

Emily continues to crush her ACL rehab! 💪🦵

She’s making great progress as we continue building lower-extremity strength, single-leg control, stability, and confidence following ACL reconstruction.

Over the next several weeks, we’ll begin progressing into more plyometric training and basketball-specific skills — working toward jumping, landing, cutting, changing direction, and eventually getting her back on the court. 🏀

ACL rehab isn’t just about getting the knee “feeling better.” The goal is to rebuild the strength, power, control, and confidence needed to safely return to the activities you love.

Keep putting in the work, Emily! 🔥 #pt #physicaltherapy #physio #acl #basketball elite by @elitetherapyandperformance

⚡ Combining technology with movement to help you MOVE BETTER. FEEL BETTER. PERFORM BETTER.

Combination ultrasound therapy pairs therapeutic ultrasound with electrical stimulation and can be incorporated into an individualized physical or occupational therapy treatment plan.

Depending on your specific needs, it may be used to help:
🔹 Reduce muscle and soft-tissue discomfort
🔹 Decrease muscle tightness and spasm
🔹 Improve mobility and range of motion
🔹 Address scar and soft-tissue restrictions
🔹 Improve tolerance for exercise and activity
🔹 Support orthopedic and post-surgical rehabilitation

At Elite Therapy & Performance, modalities like combination ultrasound aren’t the entire treatment — they’re tools we can use alongside hands-on care, exercise, and progressive loading to help you get back to doing what you love.

9.5 Weeks Post-Op ACL Reconstruction 🦵🏼📈

The early phase was about controlling swelling, restoring motion, and getting the quad firing again.

Now we’re starting to BUILD.

A few pieces of my current ACL rehab:

🏋️ Barbell RDLs — Building posterior-chain strength, particularly the hamstrings, to improve lower-extremity strength and dynamic control of anterior tibial translation.

🏋️‍♂️ Banded Goblet Squats — Restoring squat mechanics while using the band as a cue for hip engagement and control of knee position.

🦵 Open-Chain Knee Extensions — Gradually reintroducing isolated quad loading with a light, controlled resistance. The quad needs to get strong again—and knee extensions are going to be part of that process.

🚶 Lunges — Beginning to build unilateral strength through a functional movement pattern while challenging balance, control, and confidence on the surgical leg.

At 9½ weeks, I’m not trying to prove that the knee is healed.

I’m trying to give it the progressive loading it needs to become strong, resilient, and capable again. #elite #physicaltherapy #pt #physio #comeback

Still a long way to go—but every phase builds the foundation for the next. taken in Roanoke, Virginia by @elitetherapyandperformance

🚀 From rehab to game speed.

Recovery isn’t finished when the pain is gone—it’s finished when an athlete can confidently perform the demands of their sport.

Cooper, a collegiate wide receiver, is in the final stages of rehab after sesamoid removal surgery. At this point, the focus has shifted from healing to performance.

🏈 Today’s session included:
✅ Plyometric progressions to rebuild explosive power
✅ Acceleration drills to regain first-step speed
✅ Deceleration training to safely absorb force and change direction
✅ Sport-specific movement patterns to prepare for the demands of football

The ability to sprint is important.

The ability to stop, cut, and re-accelerate is what wins games—and it’s often the last piece of the puzzle before returning to competition.

Our goal isn’t just to clear athletes to play.
Our goal is to help them return stronger, faster, and more confident than before.

Best of luck this season, Cooper. We’re excited to watch you get back on the field. 💪🏈 #elite #physicaltherapy #pt #physio #football taken in Roanoke, Virginia by @elitetherapyandperformance

3 weeks post-op. One step at a time. 💪

At this stage of ACL rehab, it isn’t about chasing heavy weights or flashy exercises. It’s about mastering the fundamentals that create the foundation for everything that comes next.

Right now my priorities are:

✅ Restoring terminal knee extension to normalize gait mechanics and reduce compensatory movement.

✅ Building isometric quadriceps strength to improve knee stability, confidence, and prepare for more dynamic loading.

✅ Developing functional strength through controlled, purposeful movement that transfers to everyday activities—and eventually running, lifting, and sport.

As physical therapists, we often tell our patients to “trust the process.” Going through ACL reconstruction myself has given me a whole new appreciation for what that really means.

Progress isn’t always measured by how much weight you lift—sometimes it’s measured in a few extra degrees of motion, a smoother stride, or finally feeling your quad fire the way it’s supposed to.

The goal isn’t to rush recovery.
The goal is to recover well.

I’ll continue sharing the rehab journey each week—the wins, the setbacks, and the reasoning behind each phase.

Most people exercise to look better.

But after 40, the real goal should be something much bigger:

👉 Maintaining your independence.

The ability to get up from a chair.
The ability to get off the floor.
The ability to keep your balance.
The ability to hike, travel, play with your grandkids, and do the things you love for decades to come.

Here are 5 movements I believe every adult over 40 should prioritize:

1️⃣ Squats
Strong legs make everyday tasks like getting up from a chair, the car, or the toilet easier and safer.

2️⃣ Turkish Get-Ups
One of the best exercises for total-body strength, coordination, and floor transfers.

3️⃣ Unilateral Lower Body Strength
Single-leg exercises improve balance, stability, and reduce fall risk while building real-world strength.

4️⃣ Walking
Simple. Effective. Free.
Aim for 8,000–10,000 steps per day to support heart health, brain health, recovery, and longevity.

5️⃣ Pulling Strength
Rows, pull-downs, and other pulling exercises help maintain posture, shoulder health, grip strength, and functional independence.

The goal isn’t just to live longer.

It’s to stay strong enough to enjoy those years.

What exercise do you think has given you the biggest return on investment as you’ve gotten older?
