How physical therapy reduces pain
We combine hands-on treatment to calm irritated tissue, graded exercise to rebuild tolerance, and education on pacing, posture, and movement so you understand what's driving your pain and how to control it. Patients routinely reduce or eliminate pain medication as function improves — in coordination with their physician.
No referral required
Colorado's direct-access law means you can start physical therapy for pain without waiting for a doctor's appointment. Call (970) 884-2423 and we'll get you scheduled.
Frequently asked questions
Can physical therapy replace pain medication?
For many musculoskeletal conditions, physical therapy reduces pain enough that patients need less or no medication. Any changes to prescriptions should be made with your doctor.
Is physical therapy good for arthritis pain?
Yes. Strengthening the muscles around arthritic joints and improving mobility reliably reduces arthritis pain and delays or avoids surgery.
