Elite Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy

What Elite Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy does

Elite Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy (ESMPT) is a privately-owned, single-location outpatient physical therapy and sports medicine practice headquartered at 13575 Heathcote Blvd, Suite 250, Gainesville, Virginia. Founded in 2013, the practice is co-owned and operated by Anna-Marie Hammond (PT, DPT, ATC) and Jeff Bailey (PTA, MS, ATC), both dual-credentialed clinicians with 15+ years of orthopedic and athletic-training experience. The firm serves physically active individuals across the Northern Virginia corridor (Gainesville, Manassas, Bristow, Haymarket), ranging from youth and high school athletes to recreational adults and elite/professional athletes, with a documented caseload spanning ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, knee replacement, Achilles tendon repair, back pain, and plantar fasciitis.

ESMPT's service portfolio centers on hands-on, evidence-driven rehabilitation techniques. Core clinical offerings include Manual Therapy, Trigger Point Dry Needling, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), Blood Flow Restriction Therapy (BFRT), Functional Training, and Sports Performance/Injury Prevention Programs, supported by a Recovery Services module featuring Game Ready cryotherapy/compression, Normatec pneumatic compression, percussion massage, cupping, IASTM, and assisted stretching. Telehealth visits, introduced in March 2020, provide a remote service delivery channel. The practice holds Virginia Direct Access certification, enabling patients to self-refer without a physician prescription.

The business model is a fee-for-service outpatient PT clinic. Revenue is generated primarily from insurance-billed PT sessions (Anthem, Cigna, Aetna, BCBS, Coventry, TriCare, UHC, and Medicare), supplemented by self-pay sessions, telehealth visits, and potential add-on fees for specialized modalities. Patient acquisition is predominantly sales-led via physician referrals from local orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine physicians, with direct-to-consumer channels (website, social media, blog) and community/event-based outreach (Virginia Wine Country Half Marathon coverage, Briar Woods HS sports physicals, STOP Sports Injuries campaign) serving as supplemental demand generation. ESMPT is a member of the Progress Rehabilitation Network. The firm employs approximately 4-8 staff and was actively hiring a PT and PTA as of December 2025.

Revenue model

1. Physical Therapy Services (Insured): Primary revenue stream from outpatient physical therapy sessions billed to insurance. ESMPT accepts all major commercial insurance plans (Anthem, Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Coventry, TriCare, United Health Care) as well as Medicare. The practice verifies benefits prior to initial appointment and handles authorization submissions.
2. Physical Therapy Services (Self-Pay): Self-pay patients pay out-of-pocket for services. The practice states its self-pay rates are affordable and invites patients to call for pricing information. Direct Access certification allows self-referral without insurance.
3. Telehealth PT Visits: Remote physical therapy visits offered via telehealth, introduced in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain continuity of care for existing and new patients.
4. Specialized Treatment Add-ons: Specialized services such as Trigger Point Dry Needling, Blood Flow Restriction Therapy, and DNS may be offered as premium add-ons within treatment plans, potentially commanding additional fees beyond standard PT session rates.
5. Sports Performance and Injury Prevention Programs: Injury prevention screens and sports performance assessments offered as standalone services for athletes seeking to evaluate performance limitations and injury risk.
