Elite Physical Therapy - September 2017

See You at the Game

It’s almost that time of year again. No, not the harvest festival or Halloween. Here in the South, fall means one thing: football. Everybody is excited when football season comes around. It’s not so much a game as a lifestyle this time of year. Fridays are devoted to our local high school teams; Saturdays are for college football; and Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays, and well, any additional time is for watching the NFL. We look forward to kicking off the season and watching the Saints, LSU, and Louisiana College play. We’re also thrilled to give back to our local football community by offering our services.

For many seasons, Elite’s team of PTs have volunteered their time to football and other athletic events to assist athletes at their most crucial times. Thanks to additional training in emergency management, our staff knows how to respond quickly and accurately to these situations. From ASH to Bolton to Menard High, our team is on the sidelines of the Central Louisiana football fields. Every weekend in the fall is devoted to treating the athletes who go out and give it their all.

We are on the sidelines because we enjoy the game as much as you do, and we want to be there, ready to assist the players who need our services. At Elite PT, we know the athletes are working hard to excel in the sports they love so much. We want to be right there with them, doing all we can to help them be the best they can be. If you want to be at your best, come see us at Elite PT.
