Elite Physical Therapy and Sports Performance Provides Specialized Physical Therapy Services and High Powered Sports Performance Training for the Athlete and Active Individual
At Elite Physical Therapy and Sports Performance , we help athletes and active individuals move better, feel stronger, and return to the activities they love. Our Traverse, MI team blends advanced clinical expertise with performance-driven training to support recovery, prevent injury, and elevate long-term health.
Our Mission Statement
At Elite Physical Therapy & Sports Performance we strive to bring a new level of quality and excellence to the professions, approaching each patient and athlete as an individual, developing treatment and training programs suitable to that individual’s needs and goals.
Elite uses a movement-based approach to identify and target the patient’s pain and most significant movement limitations to speed the rehabilitation process. This evidence-based approach not only addresses the patient’s pain but also identifies problems away from the painful site that could ultimately be the cause of your symptoms or make you more vulnerable to future injury.
Manual therapy is another critical component to improve joint mobility, tissue mobility, and facilitate improved movement and function. We utilize joint mobilization and manipulation techniques, as well as the Graston Technique and Functional Dry Needling to address the soft tissues and relieve pain.
We EXPECT to see improvement in significantly fewer visits using our individualized and targeted approach! Most patients only require 1-2 visits per week.
Elite Physical Therapy & Sports Performance is a high performance training facility designed for serious athletes and individuals of all ages who don’t take their health and active lifestyles for granted. We’ve combined science and experience to offer the most innovative and proven training methods anywhere in Northern Michigan. We’re all about getting stronger, developing speed and power, and creating bullet-proof athletes.
