Expert Insights on Performance & Recovery
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.
The Most Underloaded Muscle in Rehab
If you’ve ever injured your lower leg, be it an achilles injury, plantar fascitis, even a simple calf strain, you know how miserable it can be performing the countless calf raises during the rehab process. I’m here to tell you it's not enough!

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?
