Denver Physical Therapy for the Outdoor Athlete

We know how hard it is to dial back when you just want to push your limits. Finding the right rehab provider can make all the difference between a quick recovery and a lingering injury.

We work with you to find the root cause of your pain, not just treat the symptoms. That way, you don't miss time on the trails or in the mountains.

Sport-Specific Assessments for Colorado Athletes

Climbing, biking, skiing, snowboarding, hiking—each sport has its own movement patterns and demands. We assess those sport-specific movements to identify compensation patterns or faults that might be causing your pain.

Our assessments include:

  • Hangboard assessments for climbers

  • Video gait analysis for runners and hikers

  • Movement analysis for skiers and snowboarders

  • Sport-specific functional testing

Based on what we find, we deliver a focused, sport-specific rehab and training plan designed to get you back to your best.

Comprehensive Recovery AND Rehab for Colorado Athletes

  • Customized Rehab for Outdoor Sports

    After your assessment, we create a rehabilitation program tailored to your needs. We address the core issue—not just the surface-level pain.

    Our approach combines manual therapy (cupping and dry needling when appropriate) with exercises that bridge rehabilitation and strength training. The result? You don't just recover. You come back stronger and more resilient.

  • Recovery Services for High-Performing Athletes

    Colorado outdoor athletes face high demands—multiple training sessions during the week, all-day weekend adventures in the mountains, and back-to-back days on the trails. Our recovery services are designed to keep you training, moving, and performing at your best. We provide comprehensive injury assessment and diagnosis, manual therapy and soft tissue work, dry needling, cupping, and targeted treatment plans to keep you feeling your best between adventures.
