Mike Russell, DPT is one of the most well-known physical therapists for runners and business owners in the Las Vegas area. We discuss his treatment of runners as well as his views on building a business in an ever-changing environment, and adding value through a variety of treatment options. He himself is an avid runner, regularly running both street and trail. Mike Russell is my original mentor and gave me my first job working in physical therapy as his tech. He owns Elevation Physical Therapy, which is his second clinic after building Optimal Physical Therapy to multiple successful clinics and selling it a handful of years back.
His drive for business and excellence has lead to his reputation as someone who adds value and always seeks out and maximizes opportunities to improve patient care and outcomes.
