Elite Sports Physical Therapy is excited to
announce that it will be opening doors to a new facility in Dublin
in early March. Partnering with Velocity Sports Performance, ESPT
will continue its vision of providing top-notch sports and
orthopedic physical therapy to the general public.
By expanding to the Tri-Valley, more of the East Bay will now have
access to one of the few physical therapists in the Bay Area
board certified as a Sports Clinical Specialist. Board
Certification is provided by the American Board of Physical Therapy
Specialties (ABPTS), when a physical therapist passes an exam,
showing that they have proficiency in a certain area beyond that of
their peers. Jacon C. Chun, MPT, SCS, ATC, CSCS, the Director of
ESPT, is one of those Sports Clinical Specialists.
It's natural for most physical therapists to say they treat sports
injuries and practice sports medicine. Both are tied very closely,
but there can be a big difference between regular physical
therapy and sports physical therapy. If a physical therapist
hasn't been in a sports setting where you not only have to deal with
constraints of healing tissue, but a very strict timeline, they may
not be used to more aggressive rehabilitation protocols or programs
to try and optimize recovery time.
At our Dublin facility, physical therapist Charissa L. Chaban, MPT,
ATC is also an athletic trainer and professional ballet dancer. She
understands fully the rigors of competition and performance, and
will help design a treatment program for all her patients based on
their specific needs. The plan will take into account the nature of
the injury or operative procedure and the specific sports or
functional goals of the patient.
At ESPT, our goal is to make sure that everyone knows what it's
like to be treated like a professional athlete, whether or not you
are one. For more information or to schedule an appointment, feel
free to call us at 925-452-4656.
