What's going on
Why your knee hurts
Runner's knee
Aching around the kneecap that flares on stairs, hills, and after a run.
Meniscus & ligament
A tweak, a twist, or a post-surgery knee that isn't tracking right.
Osteoarthritis
Stiff, achy mornings — we build the strength that takes load off the joint.
Post-op recovery
ACL, replacement, or scope — we get you back to full range and back to sport.
How we treat it
Hands-on, then strong
Hands-on manual therapy
We loosen what's stiff and calm what's angry before we load it.
Progressive loading
Strength that's dosed to your knee, advanced every visit — not a generic sheet.
Movement retraining
We fix the squat, the stairs, and the stride that got you here.
Dry needling & modalities
Targeted tools to break a pain cycle when the knee won't settle.
What to expect
From first visit to finish line
Full evaluation
60 minutes, one-on-one with a doctor of physical therapy. No referral needed in Colorado.
Your plan
A clear diagnosis, a timeline, and exactly what we'll do — in plain language.
The work
Hands-on treatment plus a program you can actually keep up between visits.
Back to it
We don't stop at pain-free. We stop when you're back on the trail, court, or start line.
Stop managing it. Start fixing it.
