Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What makes Elite Athletics different from other physical therapy clinics?

2. What is a cash-based physical therapy clinic?
A cash-based clinic means we do not bill insurance directly. Instead, patients pay at the time of service. This allows us to provide more personalized, unrestricted care without insurance limitations.
