ElitePT: Don't Let Arthritis Slow Things Down

Patient Results

5 STAR REVIEW

“Made it possible for him to be well enough to play basketball, flag football, and pretty much anything else he wanted to do!” “Our son had been playing flag football and basketball. After the games, he would complain of pain in his ankle. Stretching and icing would help temporarily, but the pain would come back and sometimes be debilitating. This led to many missed games. After a visit to the pediatrician, it was determined that he had Severs Disease. If you haven’t heard of Severs Disease, it happens during a growth spurt when the bones, muscles, and tendons grow at different rates. This causes tightening of the muscles and tendons, which pull on the growth plate in the heel. It can be very painful. We took our son to Elite Physical Therapy where they evaluated him. Thankfully, the amazing folks at Elite, knew just what to do. His Elite Physical Therapist started by getting to knowmy son and what motivated him. He then used that as part of the rehab to get him “back in the game”. Through extensive visits in a two month period, his Elite Physical Therapist pushed my son to push himself and made it possible for him to be well enough to play basketball, flag football, and pretty much anything else he wanted to do. I can’t say enough great things about Elite! He really took time to understand our son and modified the exercises and routine to fit each visit. To see my son sitting on the bench wishing he could play was heartbreaking, and we couldn’t be more thankful for the knowledge, warmth, time, and dedication of the Physical Therapists and the team at Elite Physical Therapy.”
