Pre & Post Operative Care
Did you know that physical therapy before and after any type of operation often speeds up the healing and recovery process? Preparing for surgery with strength building exercises and practicing proper movement helps to prepare your body for the healing process ahead. Patients who are regularly involved in physical therapy generally have greater resilience and a better overall physical experience when it comes to surgery.
Elevate Physical Therapy specializes in pre and post operative care. Our physical therapists are passionate about providing you with optimal care before and after surgery. After an operation, our goal is to strengthen the affected and surrounding areas of the body to avoid further complications and prevent re-injury. Physical therapy treatment after surgery helps to stimulate the body’s healing response and keep the body more flexible and functional during the recovery stage and beyond. If you have an upcoming operation, contact us to learn about how our pre and post operative physical therapy services can help.

Musculoskeletal Pain
Musculoskeletal pain is an injury to the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, spinal discs, fascia or other soft tissue. Elevate Physical Therapy treats a wide variety of chronic pain conditions associated with musculoskeletal pain. Whether your pain is from an isolated traumatic event like a fall or an underlying chronic condition, physical therapy can provide relief from pain, increase your strength and mobility, and improve your quality of life.
Musculoskeletal physical therapy has proven to be one of the best treatments for musculoskeletal pain. Our physical therapists will help you get relief from some or all the pain and improve your overall function. For you, maybe that means you can walk further, climb stairs easier, or return to a sport. After a good round of physical therapy, you should see improvements in pain and function. It’s important for you to understand your injury, how to manage it moving forward, and when to contact your physical therapist if the pain or injury flares up again. Contact Elevate Physical Therapy to find out if musculoskeletal physical therapy is right for you.

As an Institute of Technology graduate from IOT Redding, Blaine has been working at Elevate PT as a physical therapist’s assistant since just after graduation. Working as a PTA allows him to help people increase their quality of life, and he’s already a valuable asset to the Elevate team.
He’s passionate about making a difference in other’s lives, from working with patients in physical therapy every day, to coaching high school wrestling in his off hours. In fact, he says the lasting positive impact Elevate PT has on their patients is probably his favorite part of the job. When not at work, Blaine can be found playing with his daughter, coaching wrestling, or hitting the gym.
A little known fact about Blaine is that he was born on the front steps of an apartment in Salt Lake City, Utah!
