PHYSICAL THERAPY MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

Something Different Is Now Available to Our Team.

PPTG has partnered with Rehab Code to bring year-round clinical mentorship directly to our physical therapists, including monthly case-based sessions and quarterly onsite mentorship days.

Jess Elis joins PPTG as Clinical Excellence Advisor, bringing a mentorship approach refined across more than 100 clinicians directly into our practice. Through monthly Clinical Rounds, quarterly onsite mentorship days, and ongoing clinical development resources, Jess works directly with our PTs to sharpen their reasoning, tackle their hardest cases, and keep growing throughout their careers.

Our Clinical Excellence Advisor

12 Monthly Clinical Rounds

90-minute, case-driven sessions held on the 4th Tuesday of every month at 11:30 AM on Teams. Clinicians submit questions in advance. Jess leads the discussion in real time. No lectures, no slides. Just clinical reasoning applied to your actual patients.

4 Quarterly Onsite Days

Jess joins the PPTG team in clinic, shoulder to shoulder. Onsite days are built around hands-on mentorship,
case observation, and direct clinical feedback. The kind of development that only happens in person.

Experience

Jess is a seasoned leader in sports medicine and performance with over 17 years of experience, including a decade managing the health of professional athletes in the NBA and elite private sector. He has led medical and performance departments with the New York Knicks, Portland Trail Blazers, and EXOS, giving him a unique perspective on human performance.
He founded and operated multiple continuing education companies, mentored clinicians across the profession, and served as a consultant for Arizona's largest private PT practice.
His academic background includes a PhD in Health and Human Performance, fellowship training in orthopedic manual therapy, dual board certifications in orthopedics and sports, and recognition as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.
Jess combines clinical expertise, leadership experience, and a passion for education to challenge traditional
models and equip PTs with tools that directly impact patient care.

Give every PPTG clinician a dedicated space to bring their hardest cases and work through them with someone who has done it at the highest level.

Build a culture of clinical reasoning where asking hard questions and challenging assumptions is the norm, not the exception.

Develop clinicians who don't just follow protocols but understand why and can adapt when the patient in front of them doesn't fit the textbook.

Create a pipeline of mentorship that compounds over time. The team in year three should look dramatically different from the team in year one.

The PRO Performance Therapy Group is a group of physical therapist owned rehabilitation centers. We are backed by a first class team of highly trained physical therapists and athletic trainers with specializations in sports rehabilitation and strength and conditioning.
