Why do people love using Sprocket Rocket?

I'm so glad I found Elite PT and Performance. From my very first phone call, I felt listened to and well cared for. Dr. Cho took the time to understand my concerns and created a custom exercise program for my shoulder pain and kept adjusting the plan as I got stronger. Thanks to his thoughtful approach, my shoulder pain has improved, letting me get back to water polo with confidence. I highly recommend Elite PT and Performance, especially Dr. Cho, for anyone looking for personalized and effective care.

Sy has been amazing at figuring out what my body needs to function properly. He has worked hard at improving overall mobility and I enjoyed working with him every single session. Grateful to have such a wonderful PT.

Noel A.

Dr. Cho has been amazing to work with for my lower back and hip issues. He is very thorough, knowledgeable and flexible as my diagnosis keeps changing after consulting with other medical professionals. In just a few months Dr. Cho was able to help me regain movement and relieve muscle pain, which bothered me for years. He is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommended for anyone seeking help from back pain.

Richard M.

Thank you, Dr. Cho! He is very thorough in his assessment and truly listens to his patients. At every appointment, he assesses how I am feeling and is certain to address my concerns. I am training for a triathlon and honestly feel his advice and plan of care have contributed to my success thus far.  He is personable and takes a genuine interest in getting to know you and your goals.

I've been working with Sy weekly for two months now, and have made more progress than in dozens of sessions with other providers. I was out of my swim team practice for 5 months and Sy helped me to go back to practice in a couple of weeks. I'm still in recovery, but I fully trust in Sy to help me get me back to the pool and keep up with my regular routine. Two thumbs up!!

I had a great experience with Dr. Cho. He was very knowledgeable about sports related injuries, especially knee problems. He helped me find out the root problem and created a customized program that I followed strictly. Now I'm almost pain-free, and fully satisfied with the level of care and support I received. Combined efforts really made a difference in my recovery process. Thank you, Dr. Cho and Elite PT!

Ellie M.

Dr. Cho made an immense difference in my son's swim journey, offering comprehensive support as a medical professional and swim coach which sets him apart. After nearly half a year battling shoulder pain that prevented full participation in team practices and resulted in no progress at swim meets, Dr. Cho provided the crucial turning point. He treated my son's shoulder pain effectively and offered insightful swim analysis and corrections directly in the pool, enabling a deep understanding of the injury's root cause. His commitment to improving each stroke was evident in his patient and thorough approach. Within three weeks of the swim clinic, my son was back to pain-free participation in swim practices and achieved three senior cuts and significant personal bests in events like the 100 fly, 200 breast, 400 free, 200 IM, and 400 IM. For athletes whose performance is hampered by injuries, Dr. Cho's expertise and dedication are truly invaluable; he instilled a newfound confidence in the return to the sport.

Dongwon K.

Thank you Dr. Cho! You are incredible! An ankle injury kept me out of the water for six months, and even when returning, recurring pain made practice impossible. In just a couple of weeks, Dr. Cho worked wonders, restoring movement and eliminating the ankle pain that had been present for months. Now back in the pool, competing pain-free, and personal best times and improvements were achieved after only 4-5 sessions in his swim clinic. He's incredibly professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely easy to work with. If dealing with pain or injury, Dr. Cho is the one to see!

Bryce T

Dr. Cho’s ability to not only address my shoulder pain but also identify and correct the root cause through swim analysis sets him apart. He significantly impacted my swim career. The integrated approach allowed me to gain a deep understanding of my injury and develop sustainable solutions for my technique. It's clear his patience and commitment to improving my strokes were instrumental in my return to pain-free swimming and achieving significant personal bests. His ability to restore my confidence and help me get back in the pool, achieving senior cuts and impressive time drops, is truly inspiring. I strongly recommend anyone experiencing performance issues due to injury.
