You Shouldn't Have to Choose Between Pain Relief and Performance

 You Shouldn't Have to Choose Between Pain Relief and Performance

Traditional physical therapy tells athletes to rest, ice, and slow down. But you didn't work this hard to sit on the sidelines. Whether you're training for a Hyrox competition, chasing a marathon PR, or pushing through CrossFit WODs, generic treatment plans don't cut it.

Generic Treatment Plans

Cookie-cutter exercises and minimal hands-on care leave you stuck in the pain cycle.

Being Told to Stop Training
Most clinics don't understand athletes—they see training as the problem, not part of the solution.

Short Sessions with Techs

15-minute appointments with undertrained staff who hand you a sheet and walk away.

We Get Down to the Root Cause—Not Just the Symptom

 

At Elevation Athletics PT & Performance, you'll spend a full hour one-on-one with a board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy who understands what it takes to perform at your best. We don't just treat pain—we optimize movement, build resilience, and help you hit new PRs while you heal.

Our approach combines advanced manual therapy techniques like dry needling and joint mobilization with barbells, kettlebells, and functional strength training. No boring exercises. No generic protocols. Just results.

✓ Full 60-minute sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy—never handed off to a tech
✓ Manual therapy including dry needling, soft tissue work, and joint mobilizations
✓ Performance-based rehab using real gym equipment—barbells, kettlebells, and more

Dr. Bailey has helped me break down all of my physical and mental barriers. I've completed movements I thought I would never do again and continue to strengthen my right leg deficiencies every week. This is another level of care.
