ESPT Begins 3rd Year in Fremont!!!


On February 1, 2009, Elite Sports Physical Therapy (ESPT) began its third year providing sports and orthopedic rehabilitation to Fremont and the surrounding communities.

"It gives me great pleasure to see the satisfaction of our referring physicians and all of our valued patients," says Jacon C. Chun, MPT, ESPT's Director of Physical Therapy. We opened up our doors in 2007 to 1 patient. We now regularly see close to 20 patients a day."

To some, those numbers may not seem like a lot, as it is typical for a single physical therapist to see 15-20 patients a day in many clinics in today's world of declining reimbursements. With assistants and aides in a factory-like setting, some clinics can see 45-60 patients a day. Patients are shuttled around between clinic staff and only get to spend about 15 minutes with the treating therapist.

"At ESPT, our goal was not to be focused on revenue from the get go. Of course we want to make sure we cover our expenses, but I knew that if we took care of the clinical aspect of things, the referrals, patients, and respect would follow," comments Jacon. And they have. So  much so, that ESPT just hired their 3rd physical therapist in February.

At this very difficult economic time, when most clinics could be cutting back on professional staffing and looking to increase productivity with assistants and aides, ESPT stands by their commitment to the best quality rehabilitative care. With the hire of their latest PT (see this post), Elite Sports Physical Therapy is holding true to their promise of providing the most 1-on-1 Physical Therapist time in Fremont.

"It is very important now that the little surplus/cash reserves that families have goes to ensuring they get the best medical care possible," says Chun. "We don't want people to come in and feel like they could have received the same treatment from a personal trainer, massage therapist, or from just reading a blog on some website. We want to make sure that people get the most out of their hard-earned money. We want them to see what Evidence-Based Physical Therapy is all about." (See here).

In addition to the most 1-on-1 PT time in Fremont, ESPT is the only PT clinic in Fremont with a Board Certified Sports Clinical Specialist and that does not double-book their patients. What this means is your treatment dollar will get you more at ESPT. You will have access to cutting-edge equipment seen only in the Bay Area's top sports medicine facilities, you will not be shuttled between assistants or aides, and you will enjoy the experience of being treated like a pro!!!
