Physical Therapist in Narberth, PA Committed to One-on-One Care
The Care You Deserve. The Answers You've Been Missing.
Elite Function PT was built for active adults who want a thorough evaluation, clear answers, and a plan to return to the activities they love, without shortcuts.
We Find What's Driving It. Then We Fix It.
Most people come to us after trying other solutions that didn't stick. At Elite Function PT, we take the time to understand your movement, your activity, and what's actually behind the problem, then build a focused plan to get you back to doing what matters.
One Provider. One Plan. No Wasted Visits.
At Elite Function PT, you work with Tom from day one, not a rotation of assistants or aides. Every session is spent understanding what is driving your problem, building a focused plan, and making real progress toward getting you back to running, golf, lifting, or whatever keeps you moving.
A Thorough Evaluation First
Every plan starts with a detailed history, movement analysis tied to your sport or daily activity, and a clear explanation of what is contributing to your pain.
A Focused Plan, Not an Endless List
Treatment means skilled manual therapy, dry needling when appropriate, and a small set of high-impact exercises chosen specifically for your goals, not a generic program.
Located Inside a Full Training Facility
The clinic sits inside Pinnacle Fitness in Narberth, so your rehab progressions can transition directly into gym-based training as you get stronger.
One-on-One Every Single Session
You work with Tom from the first visit to the last, no aides, no handoffs, no wondering who you'll see when you walk in the door.
Meet Tom — The Only Provider You'll Ever See Here
At Elite Function PT, there's no rotation of assistants or aides. You get Tom, fellowship-trained, board certified orthopedic specialist, and TPI certified focused entirely on getting you back to the activities you love.
Thomas Christ is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic and Manual Physical Therapists (FAAOMPT) with a passion for helping people move better, feel better, and get back to doing what they love.
A Pennsylvania native who grew up in Blue Bell, Thomas built a strong foundation in human movement and performance before ever stepping into a clinic. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Science from Coastal Carolina University in 2014, followed by a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology from West Chester University in 2016. He went on to complete his Doctor of Physical Therapy at Mercer University in 2019, an Orthopedic Residency in 2020, and achieved Fellowship certification through Mercer University in 2022 — placing him among an elite group of clinicians with advanced expertise in orthopedic and manual physical therapy.
Thomas specializes in orthopedic injuries and pain, spine conditions, TMJ dysfunction, headaches, radiculopathies, sciatica, and chronic pain. He is a sought-after clinician for active individuals across all levels, working with high school, collegiate, and professional athletes as well as dedicated weekend warriors. His specialized training includes TPI Level 2 Golf Rehabilitation, Level 2 Running Gait Analysis, and expertise in weightlifting, CrossFit, and a wide range of sports. As a fellowship-trained manual therapist, he also brings deep knowledge of myofascial pain, trigger point therapy, and movement analysis to every patient encounter.
Beyond his clinical work, Thomas has been professionally published three times and has mentored six orthopedic residents, reflecting his commitment to advancing the profession and the next generation of physical therapists.
Outside the clinic, Thomas is as active as the patients he treats. He can be found lifting weights, running, playing basketball, pickleball, golf, or hiking — and he also enjoys CrossFit, yoga, chess, real estate, and spending time with animals.
