Just a few pics of the view last Friday from our second location in Williamsburg. We flipped the place in 3 days! Got the keys 🔑 on Friday, painted, cleaned, painted again and cleaned some more to be open on Monday 😅. Our first week was packed to the gills- literally every spot was taken the 2 days we were open. We will be opening up a third day in another week and we have no doubt we will be up and running 5 full days very 🔜 . More pictures to come! We are truly blessed.

Hello to a new day and our employee spotlight time! Today, we give a shout out to KRISTY OCKERT, one of our great Physical Therapists! KRISTY is someone who creates all the peaceful vibes wherever she goes. Luckily, for us, it’s in our clinic 4 days a week!
KRISTY brings expertise and lasting results with her patients. She can turn a busy day (she is often booked to the gills) into a warm one. Kristy is a very detail-oriented person and this is especially important when treating patients. Her voice is smooth as silk and she can put anyone at ease in about 3 seconds. If sunshine were a person, it would absolutely be her! Her nickname at the office is “Heart of Gold”.
Tenure: KRISTY has been with us for over 10 years
Passions outside of work: KRISTY loves being on or in the water, spending time with her family, friends, and dogs, traveling, and reading. She is currently in a workout/healthier eating contest with her middle son.
Fun Fact: KRISTY met her husband on a MSU arts and humanities study abroad program in London and Edinburgh. They are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary this June!

Outside of the clinic, JOE loves Jesus, and spending time with his wife, Melissa and 4 children. Joe soaks up the simple things in life and we are grateful for his leadership he brings to the clinic every day.

Meet DARLA HERBERS, one of the smiling faces behind our front desk! DARLA works hard behind the scenes, verifying insurance and making sure patients are all set before their first visit. Darla is very organized, keeps everyone on task and keeps things flowing smoothly. She is a workhorse and always wants to do her very best. On top of that, she loves helping people and making them feel welcome. She has the best laugh and can find humor in so many ways.
Outside the clinic, DARLA enjoys spending time with her grandkids, skiing, playing pickleball (she is ULTRA competitive) and getting festive by dressing up for the holidays (we love seeing what she will be wearing during those times). We’re so fortunate to have her as part of the team!
Tenure: Darla has been with Elite for over 3 years
Fun Fact: Darla can still stand on her head!

He enjoys working with patients of all ages, but has a special interest in helping those baseball and softball athletes return to the field, as he was a baseball athlete himself! We are thrilled to have his positive energy and dedication each and every day. Not only is JACOB a hard worker when at the clinic, he puts on his Superman cape after hours being a father while also attending Physical Therapy School several hours away every other weekend. He is an extremely driven and goal-oriented individual and we are blessed to have him!

Happy Monday! Today we zoom in on our fabulous and friendly face that greets all our patients who enter the doors at Elite. SHANNON PIERSON! She is the heart of our team and the first welcoming voice you will hear when you call. She has an amazing ability to make every patient feel as if they have known her for years. SHANNON easily calms nerves, answers questions (or finds the answers) and is a scheduling master! She will be your biggest cheerleader from start to finish. Her memory of details about a patient is unmatched. She is truly a treasure to us.
Passions outside of work: Spending time with her family and the love of her life, Ryan, running miles and miles, listening to all sorts of podcasts and being an amazing mom and grandma.
Tenure: SHANNON has been with us for over 9 years
Fun Fact: SHANNON has a dream of hiking all the national parks. (She can also eat an entire personal watermelon or full bunch of grapes in one sitting).
