The Art and Science of Movement
We are all built to move, but when the geometry and balance of the body falls out of alignment, movement becomes difficult, and less fluid, Misalignment causes deficits in some areas, leading to over-compensation in others.
We have the depth of experience and decades of advanced clinical training to pinpoint the root cause of the problem. We then tailor an individualized course of action and proven exercises to help you to cure your aches and pains, address your weaknesses, and correct any over-compensation.
The result is a body in harmony that moves gracefully, powerfully and confidently.
Our Areas of Expertise:
- Performance
- Strength, stability, flexibility, mobility - these four areas represent the foundation of a healthy body and are the pillars of high performance. they are interconnected and all must be addressed to build a body that performs to the best of its ability.
- Physical Therapy
- Whatever brings you into our office, whether it's an injury, accident, or just the feeling that something isn't quite right, we'll partner with you and your individual needs and put our combined 30+ years of experience to build a better you.
- Cycling Analysis
- Combining state-of-the-art technology with vast education and practical, hands-on experience, we'll evaluate your performance and teach you how to get more from your ride. You'll see the progress yourself, because we share and explain the data with you every step of the way. Our bike fitting experts (who are also Physical Therapists!) are ready and willing to answer your questions and get you to the next level.
- Running Gait Analysis
- As runners, PT experts, and biomechanists, we'll analyze your gait, pinpointing areas for improvement: whether it's your stride, strength or breath. Then we'll craft a personalized plan to reduce your risk for injury and improve your performance.
Each of these areas require different strategies to help you be your best. Let's break them down.
Performance - Your Arms Were Built to Reach HIGHER
Getting to the next level requires serious strength, stamina, and stability.
Those qualities don't magically appear, they must be developed, and the subtle balance can be lost from injury or poor alignment. We get it! We live in Colorado and, of course, that means we don't just bike and run, we climb, we fish, we hike, ski, snowboard, skate, and enjoy everything this great state has to offer. Unfortunately, that means we've all sustained injuries from what we love doing.
We make sure that your arms, chest, and abs all work together with your back and neck, so your next project is among your best. We look for specific rhythms and ratios of movement between the arm and shoulder blade. Whether a sprain to your ribs or a pulled anterior serratus, intercostal, or abdominal, we will observe and then tweak your movement for optimal performance.
Physical Therapy - You Were Built to Stand TALL
You don't need to be an elite athlete to need PT. From commuting in your car to chasing the kids around, your body needs to be able to handle all the stresses and activities that come with a full life.
Whether sitting at a desk analyzing expense reports or playing fetch with the dog, a strong, balanced, stable body is crucial to the most basic daily routines. If you don't take care of your body, it will eventually fail, which will seriously disrupt your life at work and home. Deferred maintenance is a bad idea.
To keep you in the game throughout your life, we deploy a combination of: manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, trigger point dry needling, light therapy laser, Winback therapy, and taping.
At Build, we get your body back to its original blueprint so you can chase better times, climb bigger hills, reach higher peaks, or simply have better, more productive days.
Cycling - Your Legs Were Made for UPHILL
To get the bottom of knee, back, ankle, hip, or shoulder pain, we combine our 30+ years of clinical PT experience with state-of-the-art biomechanical analysis systems.
In our lab, we'll analyze every aspect of your position on the bike. Saddle height, crank length, knee orientation, and knee range of motion through every phase of the pedal stroke, are all considered, as well as your physical impairments, cycling history and structural limitations.
We'll use the data we collect as the basis for a game plan to help you address biomechanical issues, correct improper form, and optimize mobility, strength, flexibility, and neuromuscular control and power.
We'll get your quads, glutes, abs and calves all working in unison to help you shave time off that next big climb or race.
Running - You Were Made for EXPLORING New Trails
Putting together the complex elements to perfect one's stride is the ongoing, elusive goal all runners strive to achieve. Informed by years of experience and backed by research, we've developed a comprehensive approach to isolate issues and improve performance.
Together we'll work with you to:
- Identify movement impairments and patterns specific to your strength, flexibility, joint mobility, neuromuscular control, and determine if your running form and shoes are appropriate for your movement needs.
- Build a unique movement strategy specific to you to protect against future injury, resolve an existing injury, help you reach your goals, and improve performance.
Our sophisticated equipment and software, combined with a keen eye honed from years of observing and working with athletes like you, ensures you're getting the right treatment the first time and every time.
