Our Comprehensive Approach to Care

While chiropractic care and massage therapy focus on joint and soft tissue structure, rehabilitation emphasizes restoring movement control, strength, and coordination.

Our clinical team in Boulder assesses movement patterns, evaluates strength and mobility, and listens carefully to your history to understand how pain developed and how to guide recovery. Treatment typically begins with managing symptoms and back pain to allow exercise to be effective and well tolerated.

In-office exercise-based care is combined with customized home exercise programs to support progress outside the clinic. For patients recovering from injury or post-injury complications, this integrated approach supports rehabilitation recovery and long-term function.

Advanced Treatment Techniques

At Boulder Sports Clinic, our treatment approach incorporates advanced techniques when appropriate to support pain relief, movement restoration, and long-term recovery. These techniques are used as part of a broader rehabilitation plan focused on strength, coordination, and functional movement — helping each patient return to the activities they love.

Dry needling

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a physical therapy technique used to address muscle tightness and trigger points that contribute to pain and restricted movement. By targeting specific muscle areas, dry needling can help reduce tension, improve muscle activation, and support recovery from both acute and chronic conditions.
Dry needling is often combined with exercise-based therapy to restore normal movement patterns.
Cupping therapy

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is used in physical therapy to improve circulation and address soft tissue and fascial restrictions. By creating controlled suction, cupping can help reduce muscle tension, improve range of motion, and support tissue recovery.

Cupping therapy is commonly integrated with exercise and manual therapy techniques as part of a comprehensive physical therapy approach.
Personalized Exercises & Stretches

Personalized Exercises & Stretches

Personalized exercise programs are a core part of physical therapy at Boulder Sports Clinic. Exercises and stretches are selected based on movement assessments, strength testing, and individual goals.
These programs are designed to address the root causes of pain or dysfunction, support long-term improvement, and reduce the risk of future injury.
Functional Movement Screening

Functional Movement Screening

Functional Movement Screening uses structured movement assessments, such as the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), to identify limitations related to mobility, stability, or coordination.
These findings help guide physical therapy treatment by identifying movement patterns that contribute to pain, injury, or reduced performance.
