Most clinics operate via the traditional insurance-based model and carry high patient case-loads. These large patient case-loads mean that services are provided to several patients at once. Typically anywhere from 2-4 patients are seen in any given hour, allowing each patient to spend only a limited 15-20 minutes (or less) one-on-one with their physical therapist. The remainder of their hour-long session will most likely be carried out with an aide who has no formal education or certification and likely received only the minimal necessary training provided by the facility.

Elisa found that this traditional business model was a limited and inefficient way to practice and often compromised patient care. She created Radical Recovery Physical Therapy and Performance with the vision of getting back to the heart of patient care, providing customized ‘one on one’ physical therapy and personal training services.
