Professional Staff:
Our professional staff is dedicated to provide
state of the art services tailored to meet all
your rehabilitation needs. We provide
personalized care and see only one patient every
45 minutes. This approach is much more cost
effective requiring fewer visits overall thus
saving health care dollars. We are committed to
maintaining and updating our education by
attending continuing education conferences and
course work so that we can provide the most
recent treatment techniques in the
rehabilitation field. We take a team approach
working closely with our patients’ Physicians to
design a comprehensive rehabilitation program
that fits the needs and lifestyle of each
individual patient.
Caroline Queale
Caroline has been
a Physical Therapist for 15 years in Baltimore,
Maryland. She received her bachelor's degree in
Biopsychology from Vassar College in 1985, and
went on to become a research associate in the
Anatomy Department of the Medical College of
Pennsylvania. She entered the first Master's
Degree class in The University of Delaware's
Physical Therapy Program, and graduated in 1991.
John Knarr was also a student in the program at
the time, and the two have remained close ever
since. Caroline took a job at The Johns Hopkins
Hospital where she worked for eight years in
multiple settings from the intensive care units
to the outpatient setting. During this time, she
was also a teaching assistant in the University
of Delaware's Physical Therapy program,
instructing students in Gross Anatomy as well as
Electrophysiology. Additionally, she was a
Clinical Instructor in the U of D's PT clinic
under the expert tutelage of John Knarr!
After having her third child, Caroline left
Johns Hopkins for the flexibility of Home
Physical Therapy. This was and still is one of
her passions. Being able to work with people in
the very environment where they need to function
is a privilege, and often a catalyst for a
quicker recovery. Currently, insurance dictates
that someone be "homebound" to receive services
in their home. This is unfortunate, as many
patients who don't fit this criteria would
ultimately rehab better at home. She is very
excited about Elite's "on-site" treatment
availability for this reason.
For the past two years, she has worked in a
private practice whose primary population has
neck and back pain, and whose treatment emphasis
is exceptional manual therapy combined with
authentic Pilates. Caroline has developed a
reputation as a therapist who " really gets you
better." She believes in educating her clients
about their limitations, and empowering them
with the knowledge they need to actively
participate in reaching their goals.
Golf is not only Caroline's favorite activity,
but is also an area she excels at as a Physical
Therapist. She is working closely with several
golf pros in the Baltimore region who are
ecstatic to team up with her to enhance their
clients' game. Together they discuss a golfer's
movement restrictions. These restrictions are
addressed through soft tissue mobilization and
an individualized stretching and core
strengthening program, and the player is sent
back to the pro with access to more freedom of
movement and power!
