Looking for physical therapy in Boulder? Here's what it's like to work with me.

Every session is one-on-one, so we can tailor and then adjust your plan to you as an individual instead of following a standard protocol.

I use a variety of techniques, including hands-on therapy, dry needling, shockwave therapy, blood flow restriction, and exercise, but those are just tools.

The most important part is figuring out what's actually driving your pain and choosing the right approach for you.

And unlike what many people expect, the goal isn't to keep you coming to physical therapy indefinitely. The goal is to help you recover as efficiently as possible and give you the confidence to keep doing the activities you love.

If that sounds like the kind of care you're looking for, I'd love to help.

DM me CONSULT and I’ll send you a link to book a free consultation call and we can discuss what you’re dealing with.

Nice to meet you. I'm Colin. 🤝

I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 20 years of experience treating clients.

I specialize in difficult cases and avoiding surgery as I use a root-cause / whole person approach to diagnosis and treatment.

My passion for health and wellness is what brought me here.

I'm a runner, soccer player and Dad to 3 fun loving boys, and needless to say I have to stay active. I understand why you do too.

I'm often the physical therapist my clients find after they feel like they've tried everything.

I combine expert evaluation and diagnosis, manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and advanced tools such as shockwave therapy, blood flow restriction and electrical muscle stimulation to get my clients back to themselves.

Pain isn't something you have to just put up with. Let's work together to figure it out.

Save this post as my "business card" so you can come back to it if and when you need it.

One of the biggest benefits of being a physical therapist for 20 years is having the knowledge to take care of myself.

I've learned how to respect the balance between pushing forward and backing off when my body needs it.

That's also a big part of how I help my clients.

In an evaluation, I like to have people walk me through their day, their training, and their routines so we can identify where they're taxing their body, where there's opportunity, and how to keep moving toward their goals without turning a small issue into a bigger one.

Once we understand those things we can find the balance in training and prevent injuries.

If you need help with an injury or in finding balance in your training, just comment or DM me "CONSULT" and we can set up a call.

You don’t need to wait to see if the pain gets worse. In fact, I always tell clients “the sooner the better.”

And if you’re not sure just DM me CONSULT and you can set up a 15 minute call and we can chat about it first.

It never ceases to amaze me at how many clients come to me after seeing other clinicians that didn’t explain or show them what they are doing that is driving their pain.

Patients may come in with an understanding of how to address their symptoms, and have experienced temporary relief, but they’re not shown how to break the cycle of their pain.

That’s why I focus on a thorough evaluation with LOTS of conversation to understand what might be triggering the pain.

I draw on my experience and incorporate a variety of tools (from shockwave therapy to blood flow restriction to dry needling to neuromuscular electrical stimulation to expert manual therapy) but so much is uncovered in a thorough evaluation.

What I look at in a runner-specifc evaluation:

• Gait + stride mechanics
• Functional movement + activation patterns
• Stability + force absorption
• Mobility, flexibility + asymmetries

This is targeted, diagnostic physical therapy for how runners actually move.

Then we build a program that gets you out of pain and back to running at your best.

If you’re a Boulder runner dealing with pain (or are looking to prevent injury) we’ll create a custom plan that meets your body and your goals.
