Head Physical Therapy in Alexandria

We specialize in the treatment and management of acute concussions as well as those with persistent and chronic symptoms. We utilize a patient centered care model incorporating a multi-disciplinary team approach to ensure the best possible care to return you to sport, work and recreational tasks. The management of concussions entails addressing blood flow impairments by utilizing graded exposure to aerobic exercise, improving vestibular and visual dysfunction as well as performing manual therapy and corrective exercises for cervical spine involvement. In addition, a holistic approach is utilized with education on diet and sleep to further improve symptoms. Our main goal is to ensure a safe recovery following this injury and to spread public awareness and education about concussions and how a physical therapist can help. We also provide a comprehension baseline test consisting of 8 tests analyzing neurocognitive function, memory, reaction time, balance and more. Please contact one of offices to learn more!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • A typical order for physical therapy will ask for 2-3 visits per week for 4-6 weeks. Sometimes the order will specify something different. What generally happens is for the first 2-3 weeks, we recommend 3x per week. This is because it will be the most intensive portion of your treatment. After that, it is common to taper to 2x weekly, based on your level of function and progress.

  • Yes. Physical therapy works based on the science of how the body rebuilds and heals. The biggest killer of progress is inconsistency. We recommend adhering to your prescribed sessions agreed upon in your PT Eval to achieve desired results.

People in Alexandria Trust Elite Physical Therapy

Hear from patients that reclaimed their lives.

“After eight years of pain, a total knee replacement was exactly what the doctor ordered. It wasn’t the actual surgery I was dreading, but the months of Physical Therapy. However, the moment I walked into Elite, my impression was changed. The state of art facility is well managed, the professional and friendly staff made me feel welcome from the start, and all of the assistants made sure I was comfortable and well equipped to complete my therapy sessions.”

“I feel blessed to have gone to Elite Physical Therapy and meet Marcus who taught me the basics to heal myself. My physical therapy has been a work in progress. It gave me the incentive to stretch my muscles and get my lower back in shape after spinal surgery. I now have more confidence to get back to normal activities as I did before I had my back problems.”

“After having bilateral knee surgery, I heard horror stories about rehab. Well, Elite Physical Therapy put those stories to rest. While it has been a challenge, they’ve been great at having it done the correct way for the best results. When I first arrived, I could barely lift each leg without help. Now I feel I am on my way to much more pain free way of life. I cannot THANK YOU enough for everything!”

“Elite Physical Therapy is an exceptional PT clinic. My DPT was Julia. She is an awesome PT! She is very knowledgeable and very kind. She was always very informative and encouraging! I had an incomplete spinal cord injury and came to Elite under the excellent care! Julia told me that I will walk again and I SO needed to hear that! Even though I still have a long way to go, I will always hear her words!”
