Our Services

"As a lifelong athlete and avid runner, I’m always looking for a competitive edge in my training. There are a lot of products on the market that promise quick results, however these are typically mass produced without regard to your individual physiology.
If you’ve been dealing with an injury or recurring pain, I cannot recommend The Elite Mission highly enough to help accelerate your recovery. We spend a lot of time training and it’s important to take care of our bodies so we can perform at our best and continue to pursue our passions and stay active."

Dr. Stube is great! Super attentive and knowledgeable. Love that he breaks information down so that I can better understand feedback, trust his judgment, and feel confident making adjustments. I’ve only improved since seeing Dr. Stube and firmly believe that’s far from coincidence!

I have to rave about Dr. Andrew! I had spent a lot of time (years) and money (thousands) going to PT, ortho, chiropractors, getting X-rays, a CT scan and basically anyone who I thought could help me with figuring out why I was in pain and how to fix it. I was told not to do the thing that I love to do…run…and for no specific period of time and that maybe I would get better with PT. I didn’t. Not until I started with Dr. Andrew. Thankfully, I came across Dr. Andrew’s name through a running group info session. The consult was thorough and I had less pain after our first session and no pain after our third session. I also like that he has experience working with athletes winning races and then people like me who are just trying to win their personal best. I highly recommend his services.

As an ultra runner, going long distances pain free is essential. Andrew is hands down the best PT in Richmond, VA. For almost a year we worked together. An unexpected injury popped up 5 weeks out from my 2024 flagship race, Cocodona 250, 250 Miles with over 42k of elevation gain. Because Andrew knew my body, he worked quickly, and tirelessly to fix me. Lots of late night texts, and strength plans, and exercises, he put me back together. The workouts are one thing, but Andrew cared, he wanted to see me finish this race and he did everything correctly to make sure that was possible. For 250 miles I was pain free. After 110 hours of continuous moving over some of the toughest terrain, I was able to finish the race. Not only did I finish, I was pain free. 9 weeks after (currently) I am back to running 60+ mile weeks with no pain. This would not have happened if Andrew was not my PT.

Andrew helped me so much getting over a running injury. After an unsuccessful experience with another PT, it was great working with Andrew because of his expertise with runners.

I saw Dr. Stube for physical therapy after injuring my ankle while playing adult league recreational ice hockey. I powered through the pain for a while thinking it would eventually heal up, but even after five months I was still suffering and having trouble simply walking down stairs. I realized I needed to get some help. My orthopedist referred me to physical therapy and I reached out to Dr. Stube. Within the first couple sessions my ankle’s range of motion was almost completely back to form, and soon after I was skating pain-free for the first time in half a year. I'm very thankful for the work of Dr. Stube, and amazed at how transformative physical therapy was for my recovery.

As a former D1 athlete who managed to make it through my competitive playing days with minimal injury, when I tore my ACL playing recreational soccer I was apprehensive about starting post ACL reconstruction rehabilitation. Luckily, I found Dr. Stube. His hands-on approach, knowledge of current research, and attention to detail allowed me to not only recover from an ACL tear to do my work as a physician, but also return to coaching my kids. He is now the first call I make when any injury happens.

I had heard that Andrew was quite talented at what he did, but one day I got to put him to the test. I woke up that morning with a sharp pain in my mid to lower back / side that was causing me difficulty breathing. I ruled out any possibility of cardiac or pulmonary issues and decided that it seemed like a muscular or skeletal issue of some sort and decided to give Andrew a call. After a brief conversation, he said it sounded like a rib mobility issue of some sort and asked how long the pain had been there. He got excited when I told him it had started that day as it meant that I had not had time for inflammation to build up. He scheduled me for that afternoon and in less than 30 minutes he was able to pinpoint the offending rib and fix the problem. I saw literally immediate results and the problem has not returned since. A quick response and effective treatment kept me from having potentially longer term issues. I would highly recommend Andrew for even small issues like mine! 5 stars!
