The Elevate Story
Meet Dr. Jace Sattler
The Mentor Behind Elevate
Hi, I’m Dr. Jace Sattler, PT, DPT, COMT. I’m the founder of Elevate Strategies and a practicing physical therapist with a deep passion for mentoring future clinicians. My mission is simple: to help you conquer the NPTE with strategy, support, and a whole lot of heart.
​
After seeing so many students fall through the cracks simply due to the technical difference of test taking compared to clinical work, I knew there had to be a better way. Elevate Strategies is designed to be the place where you feel seen, supported, and equipped to rise.
​
You most likely know enough information to pass. Now it is about learning how to use all the information within the constraints of the test. Unfortunately the NPTE cannot assess your abilities within the clinic, BUT you can certainly learn how to function within the test framework. Passing the NPTE is learnable and I love showing all my students exactly how.
Elevate's Mission
At Elevate Strategies, we believe that every student has a distinct set of gifts that the world needs. Our mission is to build resilience and confidence through personal support, guiding each student to break through the NPTE hurdle so they can fully embrace their role in an essential profession that transforms lives.
We are committed to inspiring a generation of PTs who approach their careers with purpose, using their talents to advocate for their patients and make a meaningful impact to a world that needs healing.
​
We especially work with students who have previously failed the examination. We lead our students to success by providing a simple strategy to confidently tackle every test question while overcoming individual barriers such as test anxiety, overthinking, feeling defeated, and the disconnect between question interpretation and answer.
We don't just help you study. We help you transform.
​
We empower you with strategies and tools to think like a test-taker. We create an approachable learning environment where you feel comfortable to ask any and all questions. We root your experience in mentorship that enhances your resilience and motivation. Finally, we guide you using personalized feedback and honest support.
​
It's not just about passing a test - it's about reclaiming your confidence.
