In 2001, Manisha Patel received her Master of Science in Physical Therapy in Buffalo, NY. Manisha, originally for Toronto, Canada, decided after graduation to stay in the US, and because of her love of traveling, Manisha began her career practicing as a travel physical therapist all over the country.

ELEVATE PHYSICAL THERAPY
COVID-19 UPDATE: OUR COMMITMENT TO KEEPING PATIENTS AND CLINICIANS SAFE:
We want to thank our patients for their support during this challenging time for our country and local community.
Recently, the state of Illinois was issued a “shelter in place” order for all non-essential activity. Outpatient rehabilitation is one of the essential healthcare services that has been permitted and encouraged to continue to operate in order to keep our patients healthy and out of the emergent medical settings that cannot handle the capacity.
Currently, we are continuing to serve our essential patients and are following CDC, Federal and Illinois Department of Health Recommendations.
We want to stress that we are a small private clinic that only sees patients in a ONE ON ONE setting:
We have spaced out our appointments so that there are no more than yourself and the clinician in the clinic at one time.
We are not allowing any visitors in at this time and we have the ability to maintain adequate spacing to comply with social distancing recommendations set by the CDC.
We are continuing our practice of cleaning by CDC recommended agents in order to keep our facility sanitized.
Our 3 clinicians are practicing good hand hygiene and have enough stock of supplies to meet this expectation.
ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE CONDUCTING COVID-19 screenings at the beginning of all therapy sessions, asking the following questions:
In the last 14 days, have you or anyone in your household traveled to any locations listed on the CDC website, returned from a cruise or knowingly been exposed to anyone with Coronavirus (COVID-19)?
Do you have current flu-like or upper respiratory symptoms, fever, cough or shortness of breath?
If the answer is yes, we are rescheduling all appointments until it is safe to return to therapy.
As an alternative, we are now able to provide telehealth or virtual “e-visits” appointments to select private insurances and Medicare patients.
Please keep us in mind as this is a difficult time for small businesses. We are hoping to be able to continue to provide Physical therapy services for you all once this has passed.
