“...I finished the Half-Marathon and I’m more confident! I could not have done it without the help of Elite Physical Therapy!” “I came to Elite Physical Therapy with excruciating knee pain 3 weeks before my first Half-Marathon. While training I was never able to get past 7 miles without persistent knee pain. My Elite Physical Therapist diagnosed my IT band and treated it with hands-on massage, stretching and strength exercises. For 3 weeks, 3 times a week leading up to the Half-Marathon, I was in the office working with my Elite Physical Therapist to help strengthen my knee.
