ABOUT ME
Jade Elkind, PT, DPT, cert DN, MFDc
Hello!
My name is Jade Elkind. I am the founder and physical therapist of Clinch Performance and Recovery. I've been a practicing PT since 2014 and graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
A lot of people here know me as the "person that does crazy sh*t.". Hey, I'll take that as a compliment!
The thing is, I believe that challenges help us grow, and my patients agree.
I've taken on a few challenges over the years:
​
Mixed martial arts: I had a fight at the Silver Legacy back in 2018 which was an interesting experience to say the least. I also still love training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (I will be a forever blue belt).
​
5x Ironman finishes: 2023 Texas and California, 2024 California and Arizona, and 2025 Lake Placid. Currently, I am training for 2026 Jacksonville and Lake Placid. Never in my life did I think that I would be a 5x Ironman finisher. It goes to show you that we are more capable than we think!
​
A few ultramarathons: 2024 Silver State 50/50 50k and the Big Chief 50k. One day I ran a 50k because frankly, I just wanted to. It still kicked my a**, though LOL.
​​
So what does this have to do with Clinch Performance and Recovery? What does this have to do with a Reno Physical Therapy clinic? Well, honestly I have a huge passion challenging yourself and opening up the possibilities in life, and the patients that come here feel the same way.
​
Clinch Performance and Recovery is the physical therapy clinic in Reno for the individual who looks at something and thinks "Wow, that looks hard. I'm not 100% sure if I can do that." They'll see something that is challenging and scary, with a chance of failure.
However, despite those thoughts, they have another voice in their heads that says "You know what? That is hard and there's no guarantee that I can finish that, but I know I can do my best and there is still a chance I CAN do it." That's the same voice I had when I signed up for Ironman Texas as my first triathlon, with no bike and no racing experience. Despite that, I figured it out and finished.
It is a voice that moves them forward towards the thing that pushes them to get a little better, one step at a time, on a quest of becoming a better person, inspiring others, and doing things they didn't know were possible.
This is the Reno Physical Therapy clinic that is going to do everything it can to help you fix your pain or injury, and help that voice in your head that pushes you to challenge yourself towards your goals, and grow as a human being.
