Stop Letting Pain Control Your Life

Living with Constant Discomfort

You've been dealing with the same pain for months, modifying everything you do. It's affecting your workouts, your sleep, and your ability to enjoy life the way you used to.

Relying on Quick Fixes

You've tried rest, ice, and over-the-counter meds, but the pain keeps coming back. Without addressing the root cause, you're stuck in a cycle of temporary relief and recurring problems.

Watching Your Strength Slip Away

Hear From Our Denver Patients

Our orthopedic PT clients trust us to help them recover from injuries and return to the activities they love. Here's what they have to say about their experience at Summit.

After a particularly active month, I had some really annoying knee pain. In middle age, you worry that you might just have to live with it. But, you don’t! Dr Andy not only enabled me to get back to working out without knee pain, but also to understand how to keep it from happening again in the future. He’s the best mix of knowledgeable, kind, and engaging. We used a mix of strengthening exercises, tissue massage, and dry needling, and I’m pretty much back to my normal self.

Andy did wonders for my lower back pain, I cannot recommend him enough!!! I was in excruciating pain every day before I started my 6 sessions with him and now I hardly notice any pain in my lower back. He worked with me financially AND I didn’t have to deal with insurance bs. He has also given me many exercises to continue to help strengthen my back, even after our sessions ended. Truly cannot recommend him enough if you are in pain and need a physical therapist in the Denver area!!!

Dr. Becker is fantastic and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to any part of the human body and ways to treat. Provided in depth diagrams to show exactly what would be targeted during dry needling and made me feel much more comfortable with the process. Also, provided effective soft tissue work along with exercises to do between next appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that choosing the right physical therapy clinic is important. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often from patients in Denver.

How soon after an injury should I start physical therapy?

The sooner, the better. Early intervention helps reduce pain, prevent compensatory movement patterns, and speed up recovery. Even if you're still dealing with acute pain or swelling, we can begin treatment with gentle manual therapy and mobility work.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

Colorado is a direct access state, which means you can see a physical therapist without a referral. However, we're happy to coordinate with your physician or surgeon if needed.

What should I expect during my first session?

Your first visit includes a detailed evaluation where we assess your movement, strength, and pain patterns. We'll explain what we find, answer your questions, and create a personalized treatment plan. Many patients also receive hands-on treatment during their initial session.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Most patients see significant improvement within 4-8 weeks, but we'll give you a clearer timeline after your initial evaluation.

Will I have exercises to do at home?

Yes. Home exercises are an important part of your recovery. We'll teach you specific movements and stretches to reinforce what we do in the clinic and accelerate your progress.
