Wells PT's Role in the Paris Olympics

Wells PT's Role in the Paris Olympics

Dr. Sean Wells, owner of Wells Physical Therapy, a concierge PT practice in Naples, St Augustine, and Ponte Vedra, made an impact at the 2024 Paris Olympics. From his home in Saint Augustine, Dr. Wells was able to perform a physical therapy evaluation with an amazing gold medalist athlete while she was still on the training mat in Paris!

Amit Elor made history at the 2024 Olympics by becoming the youngest wrestling Olympic champion ever. Just two days after her incredible victory, Amit connected with Dr. Sean Wells, DPT, OCS, ATC, CSCS, NSCA-CPT, CNPT, CertDN, an Immergo platform early access physical therapist and advisor, for a telehealth appointment. But this was no ordinary telehealth call—using full-body avatars and immersive virtual reality headsets, they met from opposite sides of the world through the Immergo Beyond platform. Check out the video here to see what it was like and hear Amit's thoughts.

A special thank you to the National Science Foundation (NSF) for supporting the R&D that made this platform possible. We’re in awe of Amit’s dedication and strength, both on and off the mat. Her journey is a true testament to what’s possible when you combine passion, resilience, and a supportive community. Congratulations, Amit, on this incredible achievement—you’re an inspiration to us all!
