Elite Sports Physical Therapy

What Elite Sports Physical Therapy does

Elite Sports Physical Therapy is a private outpatient physical therapy clinic founded in 2003 by Dr. Sharon Wentworth, operating three locations across Monmouth County, New Jersey (Tinton Falls, Manasquan, and Morganville). The clinic specializes in sports injury rehabilitation with a focused clinical emphasis on ACL injuries, concussions, and overhead athlete injuries, serving amateur, scholastic, collegiate, and competitive athletes as its core patient population. Since inception, the practice has treated more than 5,000 athletes, deploying specialized rehabilitation equipment including Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training systems and an Alter G Anti-Gravity Treadmill within a 16,000-square-foot flagship facility. The clinic differentiates through a sports-only positioning rather than a general orthopedics practice, and maintains referral relationships with Hospital for Special Surgery as well as an embedded service arrangement with Monmouth University Athletics through Dr. Nick Cifelli.

The business operates on a fee-for-service model with insurance reimbursement, supplemented by institutional partnerships with collegiate athletic programs. Revenues are driven by clinical billings across three locations with a team of 11-50 employees, led by founder Dr. Sharon Wentworth, partner Dr. Stephen Bade (joined 2009), and Head Strength and Conditioning Specialist Russell E. Anderson (joined 2007). The practice maintains an affiliated relationship with RYPT, a sports performance platform, suggesting an emerging ecosystem approach to athlete services. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external funding or private equity involvement, and has grown through incremental geographic expansion and institutional partnership development over a 20-plus year operating history.
