Return-to-Ski Testing: Are You Actually Ready to Go Back?
You feel better.
Your swelling is down.
You’re lifting again.
But are you actually ready to ski?
This question matters more than most people realize because “feels good” and “ready for the mountain” are two very different things.

A Colorado Mountain Holiday Adventure
This past weekend, Jess and I set forth in the Colorado mountains on our annual Christmas Tree hunt. The search all over the mountain side is certainly the most fun part, followed by cutting it down, but then comes the hard work… hauling the tree back to the car. When we think about strength, we often picture big lifts—squats, deadlifts, bench presses—but one of the most functional tools in your training arsenal is often overlooked.
Thick Thighs Save Lives
A recent wedding isn’t the only thing we're celebrating at Tundra Performance and Physical Therapy in Denver. We get to introduce a new family member to the team. This past week a brand new piece of equipment was delivered, that while most people I’m sure are familiar with, is going to truly transform our physical therapy programming and training opportunities.
Outdoor Physical Therapy for Outdoor Athletes in Denver
A couple weeks ago Jess and I were at REI picking up a few supplies and gear for some upcoming adventures this Summer and I was reflecting on their brand. I took a step back and thought, how would people describe REI if you asked them? Most people would say, its an outdoor clothing and gear store and it got me thinking. These are people at Tundra Performance and Physical Therapy that we work with and treat everyday, outdoor athletes. Why couldn’t we be described as an Outdoor Physical Therapy company?
Active People in Denver Require Active Solutions
Whether you are a runner trying to get back into racing, a climber trying to get back to the crag, or a weightlifter working their way back to competing or the training floor. Active people require active solutions. That's where tailored, performance physical therapy comes into play.
