About us

Hi! My name is Ron Brissette I am from Woonsocket, RI. Growing up I had a love for sports and played baseball, basketball, golf and soccer. I graduated high school and was unsure of my future direction so I followed my family’s footsteps and enlisted in the United States Air Force. At the end of my 4-year commitment with the Air Force, I decided that a career in the military was not in my future plans. I completed my enlistment, was honorably discharged and relocated to Amelia Island, FL. I obtained a position as a Physical Therapy Rehab Aide in a nursing home and began my journey to my passion of rehabilitative and sports performance medicine. Working with a phenomenal, compassionate rehab team that included physical, occupational and speech therapists; I knew this is where I was meant to be.

I applied and was accepted into the Physical Therapist Assistant Program at Daytona State College and started on the path to my career. After graduating, I moved to Buffalo, NY and accepted a position in an outpatient orthopedic/sports medicine clinic. While gaining hands-on experience and seeing a growing number of sports injuries, I started learning about injury prevention and reconditioning protocols. I eventually started volunteering my time and offering athletes injury prevention and reconditioning programs which evolved into launching and directing a sports training and fitness division within the company.

Looking to expand my horizons and chart my own course, I decided to leave the company after 10 years and follow my dream of starting my own company, Brissette Sports Performance. While growing my business I discovered that I needed to establish relationships with related professionals to facilitate overall progress for my clients.

Working in conjunction with Orthopedic/Sports Medicine Physicians, Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Dietitians and Psychiatrists, I was able to help guide my clients/athletes to optimal health and wellness. Over the years, I have worked with thousands of clients from all skill levels, beginner to elite level athletes, weekend warriors and your everyday professional. On this journey with me, has been my wife of 28 years and my two daughters. Over the last several years our daughters decided to pursue higher education and job opportunities in Florida. In 2022, my wife and I decided to close my business in New York and relocate back to Florida where my journey started over 25 years ago. After choosing Tampa as our new home, I embarked on the newest chapter of my journey and began to explore opportunities that would allow me to continue to grow professionally while allowing others to benefit from my years of experience. I was very fortunate to find Elevate Health and join them as a member of their team. In this position I am surrounded by a team that demonstrates a sincere passion for health and overall wellness and I feel confident that we can elevate your well-being to new heights.
