We help people of all ages get back to the activities they love. Have you been told from a prior health care practitioner that "there is nothing more we can do, " or "just rest and take these muscle relaxers, " or "your back is a wreck?" If these sound all too familiar, know that you have a choice and don't have to accept this as your future.
If you want to maintain your independence or become more mobile and continue with the activities you love, we can help you achieve those goals. I came to Dr. Sam Fischer after I tweaked my foot running a half marathon.

At Choice City Physical Therapy, we're committed to providing you and your loved ones with exceptional care in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. The practice was founded in 2018 and is owned and operated by Sam Fischer DPT. It was created with with the goal changing the rushed and often busy/overwhelming experience of outpatient clinics.
Sam graduated with a doctorate in physical therapy in 2012 from the University of Rhode Island. He has seven plus years of professional experience in outpatient orthopedics, specifically focused on functional biomechanics, rehabilitation, and training. He has also work in the home health care environment and facilitated the transition of care from home bound to outpatient.
Although there is static seated and standing balance, we tend to think of balance as a dynamic activity. While maintaining balance statically is important, it is not as beneficial as movement based balance training. Being able to take challenges, variable loads, and speeds and react to those demands is far more important for fall prevention.
Cycling injuries can either be traumatic from a crash (collar bone above) or from overuse injuries. More often than not, overuse injuries are caused by poor bike fit. We are happy to help you trouble shoot your bike fit, however visiting a professional bike fitter will make a world of a difference for your comfort on the bike.
Feet are amazingly complex parts of the body. They play an integral role in all function once you are standing upright. They are designed to become flexible to absorb impact when you hit the ground, yet also to become rigid to propel you forward with every step. Toss variable surfaces and footwear into the mix and it is no surprise that eventually aches and pains appear.

When I first came to see Dr. Sam I immediately felt at ease with the casual and friendly atmosphere. He came highly recommended and after one session it was clear why. Unlike other places I've gone for PT, I never felt rushed and it was apparent that Dr. Sam truly cares for his patients. You won't feel like a number or that some quota is trying to be met.
I have arthritis in my neck and back, a bulged disc and multiple overuse injuries that've plagued me for many years. Thanks to Dr. Sam, I'm back at the gym and doing activities I thought I'd never perform again- I feel better than ever! Choice

I am 72 and have chronic lower right back pain from scoliosis. I live in San Antonio TX and have great physical therapy there (Stratton Rehab). I visit Fort Collins and family for extended stays and found Choice City physical therapy and Sam last Autumn. Sam has given me new exercises which are fantastic! They are daily stretching and strengthening exercises which I find very beneficial. Choice City and Sam are extremely helpful for chronic pain, plus he is very personable, patient and I cannot say enough good things.

I'm so lucky to have landed at Choice City PT! Absolutely amazing experience. He figured out the root of the problem in minutes and was able to completely eliminate my pain in just a few weeks. Charismatic, knowledgeable, and so friendly. Bonus - I was able to bring my 5 year old to the appointments and Dr. Sam was patient & wonderful with him. Highly recommend! & THANK YOU!

I broke my arm (crack in my shoulder) while skiing a couple of months ago. I had to wear an immobilizer for one month and had almost zero mobility after it was taken off. This was the first time I had ever broken a bone, and being unable to move it at all was terrifying and overwhelming. Sam helped me overcome these fears right after our first session! I felt better instantly, and noticed the difference in my arm almost right away. Sam would stretch my arm at the beginning of the session and had me complete a variety of exercises afterwards. After our sessions, Sam would provide a personalized

Fantastic physical therapist. After seeing other PTs for years, Sam was the first to quickly diagnose my problem and give me practical and fast solutions that actually work. Appointments were easy to come by and response time was very quick. Sam is my new PT in the Fort Collins area and I can't recommend him more.

Do you know Physical Therapists do magic? I had a forearm injury that seemed to turn into tennis elbow. I saw a doctor and they said to just let it heal. It didn't heal up and instead I started getting back pain all the time. I had to limit use of my arm and would get a lot of pain for months.
After about 30mins Sam had diagnosed my issue and had me work through some exercises. After not being able to do a chin-up for months due to the pain, I was able to do them with ease.
About 2 weeks later and I would say my arm is back to at least 90% function and have no back pain. I put up with this for

I went to Choice City with a rough shoulder (old skiing accident), and Sam Fischer (owner and PT) provided excellent care and advice. I ended up needing surgery to correct the problem, and Sam's rehab program afterward was instrumental in getting me to a great result. He's good at explaining what's going on in the joint which helped me attach to the exercises and stretches he assigned. He seemed as determined to get to a good result as I was. I couldn't be more grateful to Sam for helping get me back to a fully functioning shoulder. He'll be my go-to for any PT needs in the future.
