What Sets the Best Sports Physical Therapy Apart

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

Our clinical team 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 such as back pain so that exercise is 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 an injury, post-surgical complications or a flare-up of an old problem, this integrated approach supports rehabilitation recovery and long-term function.

Our Approach

Meet Your Physical Therapist:
One-on-One DPT Care

Our Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT) use a combination of manual therapy and exercise-based treatment to support recovery. Techniques may include functional dry needling, joint mobilization and soft tissue work to assist with pain relief and movement restoration.

Each patient receives an individualized exercise program designed to address specific impairments. Education on movement patterns, body awareness and injury prevention lets patients take an active part in their recovery and return to activities safely.

We serve patients from Boulder, Broomfield and surrounding communities seeking expert rehabilitation clinic services for sports injuries, chronic pain and movement disorders. Many come to us after a rehabilitation, injury or surgery elsewhere stalls and they need a fresh, hands-on assessment.

Physical Recovery
After Car & Auto Accidents

Physical therapy is a key part of recovery after a car accident. Treatment focuses on reducing pain, restoring mobility and rebuilding strength following whiplash, back pain and joint trauma.

Our physical therapists work alongside chiropractors, massage therapists and medical providers to coordinate care after auto accidents. Many patients are able to begin treatment with little or no out-of-pocket cost through auto insurance coverage. Book an appointment soon after the accident so your findings are documented and care can start early.

Runeasi Run Gait Analysis

Run Better. Move Smarter. Reduce Injury Risk.

Our Runeasi Run Gait Analysis provides objective insight into how your body moves while running. Using wearable sensor technology, it measures stability, symmetry, impact forces and loading patterns in real time.

Unlike visual gait assessments, Runeasi delivers precise data that helps identify movement inefficiencies and injury risk factors.

During your session, your physical therapist will:

Evaluate movement on and off the treadmill

Analyze running mechanics using Runeasi sensors

Identify biomechanical imbalances or compensations

Provide individualized recommendations for performance and injury reduction

Integrate findings into a personalized rehab, strength or training plan if desired

Ideal for:

Ideal for runners recovering from injury, athletes looking to improve performance and efficiency, and anyone curious about their running mechanics or returning to physical activity after time off. Get the data you need to run stronger, longer and pain-free.

Advanced Treatment Techniques

At Boulder Sports Clinic, our treatment approach includes advanced techniques such as dry needling, cupping and movement screening when appropriate to support pain relief, movement restoration and long-term recovery. These techniques sit inside a broader treatment plan focused on strength, coordination and functional movement, helping each patient return to the activities they love. Each patient’s initial physical assessment guides which techniques we use and when.

Dry needling

Dry Needling

 Dry needling targets muscle tightness and trigger points that contribute to pain and restricted movement. It can help reduce tension, improve muscle activation and support recovery from acute and chronic conditions, and is usually combined with exercise to restore normal movement.
Cupping therapy

Cupping Therapy

Cupping uses controlled suction to improve circulation and address soft tissue and fascial restrictions, helping reduce muscle tension and improve range of motion. It is combined with exercise and manual therapy.
Personalized Exercises & Stretches

Personalized Exercises & Stretches

Personalized exercise programs are a core part of your care. Exercises and stretches are chosen from movement assessments, strength testing and your goals, to address the root causes of pain and reduce the risk of future injury.
Functional Movement Screening

Functional Movement Screening

Functional Movement Screening uses structured assessments such as the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) to identify limits in mobility, stability or coordination that guide treatment.
