Elevate Physical Therapy provides a number of sub-specialties in orthopedics, assuring the best available and medically proven care.
Besson and Melchionno say they’ve built their new business around the premise of communication, family, and their continued commitment to education.
“We watched the physical therapy industry get too far away from caring and nurturing to focus on numbers,” Melchionno said. “We’re thrilled to be back home in Darien to bring elevated care to clients. Our team is dedicated to going above and beyond from the therapists to the back office staff.”
Elevate will offer a range of evidence-based treatments with several sub-specialities to include:
- ART (Active Release Technique)
- Cupping
- Functional Dry Needling
- Graston Technique
- Kinesio Taping
- Selective Functional Movement Assessment
