Manual Therapy
Our manual therapy approach directly addresses musculoskeletal dysfunction through skilled hands-on techniques. This specialized treatment improves mobility, reduces pain, and restores function by targeting soft tissues, joints, and neural structures. Patients benefit from individualized sessions where therapists use precise mobilization and manipulation techniques tailored to their specific condition, whether it's chronic back pain, sports injuries, or post-surgical rehabilitation. The therapy promotes natural healing while incorporating patient education for long-term self-management.
Pelvic Health Therapy
Specialized pelvic health treatment addresses conditions affecting pelvic floor function in both men and women. This targeted therapy treats issues like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and postpartum recovery through internal and external manual techniques. Therapists combine muscle retraining with personalized exercise programs to restore normal pelvic floor function while maintaining patient comfort and dignity throughout the treatment process. The approach addresses both acute and chronic conditions with measurable improvement outcomes.
Dry Needling
Dry needling treatment targets muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve mobility through thin filament needle insertion. This technique effectively treats chronic muscle pain, sports injuries, and movement impairments by releasing tight muscle bands and promoting healing. Therapists use anatomical precision to address specific problem areas, often providing immediate symptom relief when combined with manual therapy. The treatment follows strict safety protocols and integrates with comprehensive rehabilitation plans for optimal results.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Comprehensive post-surgical rehabilitation programs restore function after orthopedic procedures. Treatment plans combine manual therapy, progressive exercises, and pain management techniques to optimize healing. Therapists work closely with surgeons to follow evidence-based protocols while tailoring interventions to individual recovery needs. The program emphasizes regaining mobility, rebuilding strength, and preventing complications through structured, phased rehabilitation that adapts to patient progress throughout recovery.
Headache Management
Specialized headache treatment addresses cervicogenic and tension-type headaches through manual therapy techniques. Therapists identify musculoskeletal contributors to chronic headaches and implement targeted interventions including cervical mobilization, trigger point release, and postural correction. Treatment combines hands-on therapy with patient education on ergonomics and self-management strategies. The approach aims to reduce headache frequency and intensity while addressing underlying mechanical causes for long-term relief.

Questions
Do I need a doctor's referral for physical therapy?
While some insurance plans require physician referrals, Colorado law allows direct access to physical therapy. Our therapists can evaluate and treat you without a referral.

Initial evaluations last about an hour. Subsequent treatment sessions typically last 45-55 minutes, depending on individual treatment plans and progress.
What types of payment do you accept?
We accept most major insurance plans and handle billing directly with providers. Self-pay options are available with flexible payment arrangements possible.
Are home exercise programs important for recovery?
Yes, home exercise programs are critical for progress. Consistent participation in prescribed exercises significantly improves treatment outcomes and long-term recovery success.
