We didn't become Denver's best physical therapists overnight. We became specialists by quickly realizing one thing: our patients are all unique individuals-and so are their injuries, their pain, their rehabilitation, and their healing. It wasn't just the symptoms that needed to be addressed; it was identifying the specific tissue that was painful and the cause of that pain.
So we address the whole body from head to toe, carefully evaluating your movements, flexibility, strength and stability. These are the tools by which we can help make you stable, better able to heal, and strong enough to protect your health in the future. We do what most don't.

We know that finding a new health provider can be a little off-putting and we want to make your first visit with us a pleasure. Those 9 long months are over and now you have your little bundle of joy. Pregnancy was tough on your back. Now that your center of gravity has readjusted you'd think that backaches would be a thing of the past.
What does that mean? To us, it means that each of our patients receive consistent and collaborative care. Every patient who walks through our door feels the collective passion, expertise, professionalism and commitment from every member on our entire team. To this we bring our unique combination of both manual therapy and "patient specific" exercise programs creating a treatment protocol that sets our delivery of care apart.
We know that there is nothing more healing than manual hands-on physical therapy to help with pain. Our physical therapists are caring, kind and educated as to how to best us hands-on techniques to help our patients heal. Trigger Point Dry Needling involves using small dry needles at a trigger point to help loosen muscles, alleviate muscle banding and pain and increase blood flow.
Most of our patients will tell you that getting a massage during therapy is a great thing. Why wouldn't it be? Massage is relaxing and makes you feel better. But it's even more beneficial for physical therapy patients. We know that to be true. Physical Therapists don't use massage just because it feels so good, but because it is critical when addressing tight and dysfunctional muscles.
What we know for sure is that as we age, physical function declines. The reason? Loss of muscle strength. In fact, each decade after 50, we can lose as much as 15% of our muscle strength and as much as 30% per decade after the age of 70.
But, research funded by the National Institute on Aging published in The New England Journal of Medicine provides additional evidence that physical therapy can reduce and even prevent the functional decline of frail elderly individuals who receive a program designed to improve their balance, strength, and movement.

I've gone to two of their locations, Pearl Street in central Denver and Alton Way in Greenwood Village, and have seen several different therapists for a number of years. They have helped with several issues including rehabing a knee replacement and chronic back problems. The care is amazing. Careful diagnosis, caring people, quality work, great customer service. I recommend them without reservation. In addition, because of my lengthy history, I have gotten to know the owners and have had the opportunity to observe how they screen, interview and onboard new PT's, also very careful

Specialized and very special. Had two occasions to use Amanda at the Pearl Street facility. She first provided therapy for back problems that physicians said needed surgery. Using her skills with dry needling process and other therapist techniques, I was able to avoid a second back surgery. I am able to golf as I want and only have occasional pain. Using the exercises and decompression she recommended has me in control of pain. The second cause for Amanda's skills was numbness in my arms which is virtually gone. Again, dry needling and muscle manipulation by her proved very effective.

I had very good experiences here through two bouts of physical therapy after severe lower back spasms. Russ was very personable and genuinely cared about getting me back to my previous activity level. He also made sure to thoroughly explain each exercise/movement I was doing and the mechanical and physiological context for its use. I really appreciated that he did not 'dumb down' my therapy. As a therapist, I would give Russ 5 stars.
The reason for my three star rating is specifically due to Specialized Physical Therapy's customer service and policies. I made accommodations for

Specialized Physical Therapy has made such a positive impact on my health and quality of life that I want other people searching for help with orthopedic or neurological pain to be aware of a company that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Over the years I have been seen by a number of physical therapists. They were "fine" in dealing with acute issue but eventually I was told that I was "the best I could hope to be". Over 3 yrs ago I became a patient of SPT because of chronic back and neck pain. From day one my experience in the SPT clinic was vastly different from

I had achilles surgery so I could run again in August of '14, and after a torturous amount of time on crutches, they sent me to physical therapy. I chose a place that was less than impressive, wasn't getting anything out of the expensive sessions, so I quit and decided I didn't need PT. A few months later, still limping very badly on the right due to the surgery, I also started limping on the left, because I was all off kilter. In late April, 8 months after my surgery, I was at wits end, certain I would always limp, be in pain, I met with Jenna of Specialized. I still remember

I have been a patient of Specialized Physical Therapy for nearly 2 years. After having three other PT's from other clinics and injuries that have been very difficult to navigate my therapist at Specialized PT has helped me more than anyone! I wouldn't go anywhere else. Even after my most recent surgery I was 'encouraged' to seek other PT's but I can't imagine getting my care from anywhere else. It also helps that the front office is extremely polite and always accommodating of my schedule. If you are looking for a true partner in helping you get through your PT, I

I have just started seeing Aimee but would say she has done a better job understanding my hip and back issues than any other phys therapist. I like that I can go to specialized pilates to strengthen certain parts of my body wiht someone onsite who knows what there doing! The lady upfront is very friendly as well. I will come back and review it again, but so far, so great!

Kate has provided such top notch therapy that my back pain has significantly diminished. Or, it's more manageable now.
I like coming here because Kate is very personable and even as I look around to the other patients and therapists, they all seem to be engaged in conversation while giving/being treated.
Kudos!

This place goes by multiple names ... Specialized PT, Coverly PT, Feldhake PT. I was looking for a PT near my house after i tore my calf muscle. Bonus, Specialized PT is a Blue Cross preferred provider that takes care of all billing (so i only have to make a small co-pay). They were able to get me scheduled pretty quickly, and Kim started working her magic. After one PT visit, i was able to ditch the crutches and walk with a limp. After 2 more visits, no limp. My leg is still stiff and sore, so i'll keep going to Kim for a few more visits. But i have no doubt that Kim gets the credit
