Quality Care

At Elite PT, our customers come first, every time. With active listening, full body assessments, and empathy, we’re here to get to the root of it all. Your treatment is very customized to you and you will receive a home exercise program to facilitate it too.

1:1 Sessions

The majority of your session will include hands-on manual therapy and be focusing on either mobility, stability, strength or performance gains depending on where you’re at in your plan of care.

Performance Oriented

We use functional movement testing to identify any problem areas that may be holding you back. This assessment helps us identify the root cause of your symptoms by working with you and your movement patterns.

Credentials Forward

Our clinicians are constantly focused on staying at the top of their field. Many of our PT’s teach in local Doctorate programs and work in the community to help spread education of what they are passionate about. We enjoy collaborating with other practitioners while keeping the patient at the center of it all.

Our Services

  • Patient holding suspension straps for a single-leg squat while her physical therapist checks her knee.

    Performance Analysis

    During your Performance Analysis, we’ll watch you complete pivotal functional movements and analyze your movement patterns. This helps us pinpoint the mechanics we need to hone in on, so we can deliver an exercise prescription and therapy that address balance, strength, coordination, mobility, and flexibility.

  • Physical therapist supporting a man's knee as he balances on one leg holding a dowel overhead.

    Exercise Prescription

    This is the bread and butter, where we turn good outcomes into great outcomes. As you complete your weekly home exercise program, you’ll start noticing more symmetrical movement patterns, regained strength, pain-free movement, and so much more.

  • Physical therapist using hands-on manual therapy on a patient’s abdomen during a treatment session.

    Manual Therapy

    Depending on where you are in your plan of care and your current goals, about half of your session will typically be spent here. This is where we work on the muscles, joints, and fascia to help you recover stronger.

  • Physical therapist pointing to a pelvis model while explaining pelvic floor therapy to a patient.

    Pre + Post Partum Care

    Pregnancy and postpartum bring big changes, and you don’t have to figure them out alone. We’ll help you stay active, manage pain, and rebuild strength and pelvic floor function so you feel strong and confident in your body.

  • Pregnant patient on a treatment table listening as her physical therapist holds a pelvis model.

    Birth Prep

    Walk into labor feeling prepared and capable. We’ll work on pelvic floor mobility, strength, and pushing mechanics tailored to your body and goals, so you feel informed and confident going into birth.

  • Gloved physical therapist performing trigger point dry needling on the back of a patient's neck.

    Dry Needling

    Trigger point dry needling helps release stubborn muscle knots. Using thin monofilament needles (similar to acupuncture needles), we bring blood flow to the area to promote healing and relaxation. We can also pair it with electrical stimulation to help reset the nervous system.

  • Physical therapist placing clear suction cups along a patient's back during a cupping therapy session.

    Cupping

    Once we identify a taut band of connective tissue or an area of muscle dysfunction, we use cupping to bring blood flow to the surface. We sometimes pair it with movement for a gentle release that eases muscle pain.

  • Woman relaxing with eyes closed under the warm red glow of an infrared sauna dome in Oklahoma City.

    Infared Sauna

    Infrared is the healing rays of the sun, the ones that feel like a hug, and we just don’t get enough of it in our modern world. Our infrared sauna heats you from the inside out, supporting muscle recovery, sleep, immunity, and relaxation. You’ll leave feeling more energized than when you went in!

  • Tattooed physical therapist using a therapeutic ultrasound wand to treat a patient’s chest.

    Ultrasound Machine

    Therapeutic ultrasound can help break up clogged milk ducts and ease the pain and inflammation of mastitis so you can get back to nursing comfortably. Our pelvic health team pairs it with hands-on techniques to keep milk flowing and help prevent it from coming back.
