This is my preferred physical therapist. Dr. Heafner is incredibly professional and usually one visit does miracles for me.
I often have shoulder issues in my right shoulder and Jim within minutes had it feeling much better and got me on the fast rack for a full recovery. I drive all the way from vail colorado to see him, and it is 100% worth it for me.

Jim Heafner is amazing! He helped me recover from an injury quickly and safely and then guided me through resuming the workouts and activities that meant so much to me. His work is effective and efficient and I was safely back in action much sooner than I thought I would be. I am deeply grateful to him and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Summary: best PT I've ever worked with.
After being in three rear end car accidents within six months, the last of which totaled my car, I sought out the help of Dr. Heafner to work on my left shoulder and back pain from whiplash. I had not had great results working with physical therapists in the past, but needed to see what to do about long-term recovery since chiropractic and massage were only temporary relief, and my normal activity was affected.
I found Jim's approach to be impressively holistic and effective immediately. He spent time each appointment evaluating the overall

Experiencing lower-back, hip-flexor, and overall body pain is a normal for me...but with Jim's help, my body is on it's way to having much better mobility!
Jim uses his medical expertise and general body knowledge to help me through various therapeutic exercises, and always gives me notes to follow-up on at home. I would recommend Heafner Health to anybody who needs an overall body evaluation and definitely for those who experience pain/tension in any part of their body.

I found Jim after years of chronic pain and accepting my limited range of motion. Where other PTs were quick to dismiss or try to fit me in a box, Jim took the time to understand my injuries, longterm goals, and created a plan to help me achieve them.
His method combines deep muscle work to enhance mobility and intelligent (and realistic) exercises to fire up and safely strengthen muscles.
I have experienced lasting relief after years of reduced quality of life. I highly recommend Heafner Health.

When I first went to see Dr. Heafner I was experiencing extreme pain in my lower back which made it difficult to do anything from running to standing up from my desk chair at work. During my initial consultation, he quickly pinpointed the issue and began creating a plan to treat it through different stretching exercises and deep muscle massages to improve my mobility. I was impressed with how knowledgeable he was about the physiology of the human body and how easy it was to understand what was casing my pain. I went to four sessions and can confidently say I am absolutely pain free. He gave me

This past year I finally accepted that I may not be able to run anymore because of an injury to my low back that seemed to get worse and worse as time went on despite getting massages, seeing the chiropractor, stretching, and many other attempts to improve pain. After seeing Jim for about 4 sessions and completing my homework I can now say I will be running for many more years. I reached my goal of being able to run pain free for 45 minutes and have a renewed love for running. Jim practices with genuine caring and concern. I always get the sense that he is really trying to figure out what I am

When I met Jim I was probably in the worst pain in my life. I had such bad lower back problems at 27 years old I swear by 30 if be in a wheelchair. When I was out at the Boulder Young Professionals I met Jim and his wife and talked to him about my issues. He said like any other sales person would say you are a perfect candidate and I can help you out. I had no choice. I had been to chiropractors, spiritual healers, massage therapists, and a doctor. Everyone failed. So I went to Jim one random afternoon after walk. He put me through a multitude of different stretches and little workouts

I was having shoulder pain and I came across Heafner Health. After an analysis and an evaluation of what was causing my pain, Dr. Heafner was able to quickly and easily educate me on the biomechanics of why I was feeling pain and he gave me exercise that have caused my pain to go away. I was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge as well as his ability to articulate and educate me in a way that was understandable and simply "made sense." If you are looking for a physical therapist in the Boulder/Denver metro area and want someone that is personable and relatable, I 100% recommend Dr
