Russell Altman
DPT, PT
Russell Altman is the Owner here at Elite Care Physical Therapy.
He graduated with his Doctor of Physical Therapy from Columbia University in 2006. Since his graduation, Russell has strives to continue his education and to refine his technique with manual therapy and exercise prescription to help people from all walks of life. He uses the same approach with the athlete that comes in looking to get stronger and eliminate pain from a particular movement to the person who just wants to walk around the block without pain.
He works with a wide variety of diagnoses, including TMJ dysfunction, Low back and Neck pain, Shoulder pain, and knee dysfunctions to name a few. He prides himself on his ability to relate to the patient and educate them in their diagnoses, treatment, and prognosis.
Dr. Amelia
A New Jersey native, Dr. Amelia grew up in Hawthorne where she competed in both lacrosse and cheerleading. She went on to attend Monmouth University as a collegiate athlete, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. It was her experience as a student-athlete that ignited her passion for physical therapy and ultimately led her to earn her Doctorate from Rutgers University.
Dr. Amelia's approach to care is rooted in creating an environment where patients and athletes feel comfortable being themselves. She is deeply committed to providing each individual with the resources and support they need to perform at their highest level and thrive in the activities that bring them joy and fulfillment.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Amelia stays active and connected to the outdoors. She enjoys hiking with her dog Ghost, yoga, paddleboarding, tennis, ice skating, skiing, and swimming. A true reflection of the active lifestyle she encourages in those she treats.
