San Diego Elite Physical Therapy is an Outpatient Orthopedic clinic with the goal to change the current state of PT. The therapist will see no more than 2 patients per hour (there is currently a PTA and PT aide seeing 2 patients an hour as well with a total of 6 patients in the clinic at a time) . 60 minute treatments are the norm. All treatments will be backed by scientific data. We will never become a \"patient mill\" as we truly care about our patients getting back to the life or sport that they love. If you love sports and exercise as much as we do, you will have applied to the right place.
