I've gone to Apollo for the last two years for ongoing maintenance and a persistent IT issue. The care and attention I have received have changed the condition and with the help of a few daily exercises, I am proud to report that the problem is almost nonexistent. Both practitioners are extremely knowledgeable and kind. Their bedside manner is impeccable and their compassion is endless. I send everyone I know to this clinic who is searching for help with problems that feel 'unsolvable'. I've learned so much about my body, proper alignment, and maintenance- it's safe to say that if you're in pain or looking for a 'how-to' manual for your body, Apollo is your place. Thank you for helping me! read more

After seeing multiple physical therapists for ongoing achilles tendonitis and not seeing any results, Dr. Drew was able to help my symptoms improve in a matter of months. Nothing else had worked but now I'm back to cycling and other activity after being nearly unable to walk. I can't recommend Apollo enough for chronic soft tissue problems. read more

So happy with my results with Dr. Drew! My low back pain is gone when other doctors told me I would need surgery. I wish I would've discovered this place sooner to have avoided years of pain. read more

In just a few months of visiting Dr. John I have recovered more mobility in my lower back than in ten years of physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, epidural cortisone, yoga, stretching, and acupuncture combined. Those methods likely helped me in some way, but with all the scar tissue built up in my muscle tissue, these methods couldn't show good results. After about 8 visits with Dr. John working to remove the adhesion in my lower back and hips, I haven't taken any medication for back pain in months. I was considering surgery to remove a disc. But after Apollo, I know I don't need it. I would never consider spine or joint surgery without first trying this treatment method. Keep in mind, if you've been in pain for years there are no instant fixes. I had some inflammation once we started making big strides. But sticking with it pays off. And it's safer than drugs or surgery. read more

Dr. Appleman delivers results! I've had a desk job for the past 8 years, typing away and mouse clicking on a computer. I was experiencing pain in my right wrist & I was unable to put any pressure on it. I had poor range of motion & the slightest touch was painful. Dr. Appleman's focus and expertise helped me gain back mobility & function in my wrist. I'm now living pain free & excited say I'm back in the gym without any modifications! read more

Dr. Drew is the BEST of the BEST at what he does with Active Release Therapy (Manual Adhesion Release and Instrument Adhesion Release). I played college tennis for 4 years and am now playing tennis professionally overseas on the ATP Tour in large part thanks to him keeping my body healthy and breaking down scar tissue that had built up over the years. He is extremely diligent in his approach and has a holistic mindset when he views the injury / problem at hand. I cannot begin to thank Dr. Drew enough for what he has done for me as a high level athlete. If I did not have his help, I definitely would not be in the healthy position I am today to play tennis professionally! I HIGHLY recommend seeing Dr. Drew if you want real results that will translate for athletics and everyday life! read more

First off, the female answering the phone sounded like she was answering in her car and dropped the phone. Then, I asked if they accepted my insurance. She said " so before I talk about insurance coverage I need to see if YOU would be a good fit for OUR office"....HUH???? I sought YOU out, not the other way around. I should have hung up there, but I continued. So they will NOT take the insurance and you will have to do the run around of submitting your claims for re-imbursement....After her pissy , unfriendly attitude, I was like " forget it" ..... BTW We have REALLY good insurance and they pay for pretty much everything, you lost out APOLLO!!! read more

Apollo Soft Tissue and Dr. Drew have helped IMMENSELY with my chronic neck and trap pain I've had for 7 years due to a CrossFit injury. I've been to countless other doctor's, chiropractors, massage therapist and have tried everything from dry needling, acupuncture, cupping, adjustments, and physical therapy but nothing seemed to have lasting relief and results. He diagnosed me and explained fully what was going on with my injury. There was a plan in place to track my progress of mobility, pain and to strengthen the injured areas. You won't be disappointed. read more

I've been struggled with issues in my upper back and neck for years. I've done physical therapy, massage, stim treatment, the works. I started working with Dr. John in March 2018 and by May my pain was pretty much gone and my posture had changed DRASTICALLY. From the moment I walked into Apollo, I was diagnosed so quickly and immediately put on a treatment plan that would address my issues. I didn't have to wait for four months of physical therapy hoping it would get better. Improvement started right away. I'm now in maintenance mode to address any issues that pop up as needed, but they are so rare. I don't have to be afraid of waking up with neck pain anymore or screwing up my shoulder in the gym. THANK YOU APOLLO AND DR. JOHN!!!! read more

Dr. Drew has been great. My neck pain is almost gone after a couple of months of working with him. This has been ongoing neck pain for the last few years. He came highly recommended by husband who has been seeing him for knee and ankle pain. Both are in much better shape now thanks to Dr. Drew. Can't say enough good things. read more

Dr. John Appleman has been WONDERFUL in helping me recover from an extremely painful injury. I highly recommend Apollo to any friends suffering from injury. After living with the pain for so long, I feel like a million bucks now that I'm on the road to recovery. I can't thank Dr. Appleman enough for helping me! read more

I don't usually leave reviews but I have to this time. My experience here has been EXCEPTIONAL. Dr. John has helped me in just a few short sessions with my knee and back pain & I am confident I am on the path to being healthy and strong. I am so grateful I found them. It is worth the money to not have pain and to learn how to keep yourself healthy and strong. I am a nurse and I would refer any of my patients, family or friends here!! read more

I've had aches and pains for a decade or two and in the past, I've gotten away with toughing it out. I should have been listening more closely to my body. That said, I've been amazed at how quickly I've seen MASSIVE results from just a few sessions with Dr. Drew and his team at Apollo. My neck adhesion, my forearm and various other issues I've had for decades have been resolved. I am so grateful, thank you! read more

This is a perfect example of how helpful Yelp is. Others wrote excellent ratings for Dr Drew, so I took a leap of faith after suffering a lot of back pain on and off over the years. I was curious on his approach with fascia and the ties between lower back adhesion. My three week consistent treatments have put me back to 100% with no pain remaining. I highly recommend Apollo Tissue and Spine to those considering trying them. read more

I originally came in for nagging sports injury on my right shoulder and quickly learned that my elbow was causing all the issues. I had seen a few physical therapists and no one was able to figure out the problem. Dr. John was able to come up with a plan of attack and offer relief in a way no one else was able to. During this time, I also managed to injure my foot and he was the first person I went to. Not only can he help alleviate the pain, he can help with rehab exercises, and orthotics. I would recommend coming to Apollo to anyone who has lingering injuries and/or is experiencing limited range of motion. It's truly such a unique practice and they are filling a huge void when it comes injuries. read more

I first met Dr. Drew outside of a local gym where he was conducting an "Ask the Doctor" session. I had pulled a muscle earlier that morning and thought I would stop by to ask what type of treatment I should do to keep it from getting worse. Dr. Drew was thoughtful, thorough, and professional in his assessment. His recommendation made getting on a trans-pacific flight the next day less daunting. After I returned from my trip, my husband and I became a patients in order to take care of issues that were resistant to traditional therapies. Several months later, I can say with confidence that Dr. Drew's treatments have helped us be better in the gym, at work, and in life. read more

Thankful to have found Dr. John! I have had tension headaches for 14 years and have had five different neurologists. I have also tried every pill, preventative treatment that you can think of, physical therapy, botox, steroid injections and standard chiropractic. FINALLY - I feel like a human. Daily headaches are gone, I can sleep on my right side and I haven't missed work in months. Understanding muscle adhesion is key to my treatment and Dr. John is very good at explaining what he is fixing and takes the time to understand your situation in order to come up with ways to prevent future adhesion. read more

My body has suffered a lot of wear and tear over the years due to being an athlete in my youngest years, and choosing a career that can be physically demanding. Since I started working with Dr. John a couple months ago, I've noticed huge improvements in my work performance and general posture/mobility. I believe that my sessions with Dr. John will absolutely prolong my working years and keep me doing all of the active things that I love. I only wish that I had discovered him sooner! read more

Been seeing Dr. Drew for just a few months now and have had amazing results. Went in with severe knee pain and stiffness. Have made huge amount of progress already. Thank you! read more

I would HIGHLY recommend visiting Dr. John and Dr. Drew at Apollo in Cherry Creek. These doctors are committed to long term recovery solutions and are highly patient-focused! You will feel like part of the Apollo family as soon as you walk into the door. The treatment is extremely effective and you will receive immediate feedback on how the treatment is impacting your range of motion, flexibility, and stability. That's what I love most about this place - yes, I FEEL much better after receiving treatment, but it is much more than that. Dr. John Appleman will review range of motion measurements with you to show tangible results THAT SAME DAY! I can't recommend this practice enough. Get in here Denver! read more

After a car accident, I had hip and back problems. I went to another chiropractor who temporarily fixed the pain, but once I started working out and playing sports again, the pain came back. After a few sessions with Dr. Drew, I saw major improvements. He worked with me on ways I could still be active in my sports without compromising my recovery. He focused on one injury at a time, ensuring the problem was corrected properly. I really enjoyed working with Dr. Drew! read more

As an ultra trail runner, Dr. Drew has helped me to maintain my running capacity while also working meticulously and thoughtfully to get to the source of my problem. As a massage therapist, I had tried many different types of treatment for my lower back issues. However, Dr. Drew is getting directly to the source of the problem. Looking forward to a trail running season running pain free! read more

Dr. John has literally changed my life! I was living with near constant hip pain and thought that was normal- I was referred to him by another chiropractor from out of town, so I think that speaks highly to his credibility. Anyway, he didn't just attempt to diagnose and "fix" my muscle adhesion, he also sent me for an MRI and x-ray to make sure there wasn't muscle or bone damage. I have been seeing him for nearly 2 years now, about once every 6-8 weeks for maintenance. As somebody who enjoys Olympic style weight lifting, Dr. John knows the demand I'm putting on my body and suggests modifications so I don't have to give up something I love. The women that work the front desk and along side Dr. John are always super personable and very helpful when I need to make a schedule change. So thankful I found Apollo! read more

I met Dr. John at the Hot Chocolate 15k/5k Expo. Earlier in the year, I sprained my ankle and fractured my fifth metatarsal on top of other preexisting injuries so I was intrigued to learn more about Apollo. He explained to me that he specializes in soft tissue injuries. I figured, I've tried every other kind of treatment, why not give one more thing a shot? This turned out to be a game-changer for me. While I came in originally complaining about my lower back, we ended up focusing on my ankle and feet, working our way up through the calves and shins. Dr. John also had me fitted for custom orthotics. Since going through treatments and receiving the orthotics, I am now walking without pain. I couldn't even make it through a 5k without gritting through pain. I got back from Italy, and I am not in pain despite having walked the distance of two marathons in 10 days. That is a huge difference! If you're skeptical, I encourage you to at least do an initial consultation because Dr. John will explain everything in plain English, so you will understand the entire process. read more

As I continue to bike, fish, hike, ski, swim, remodel my house, play music, and take advantage of all that Colorado has to offer, Dr. John and Apollo Soft Tissue and Spine keep this aging body motoring! The list of aches and pains Dr. John treats continues to grow! From my knees to ankles to back to forearms to tingling in my finger tips, nothing stumps Dr. John! Another plus is the friendly staff and smiling face when you walk in the door! Hands down the best Soft Tissue and Spine specialist in Denver! Keep up the great work! read more

Dr. Drew had me come 3 times a week for 4 weeks. My condition lower back/abdominal and shoulder/neck adhesions. Refused to give me a chiropractic adjustment or any other treatment. He would measure my progress and scrap one area per appointment. 10 minutes tops. I left this poor display of medical treatment facility. I am writing this review in hope that it helps one person not get scammed. Peace and Love Be aware read more

Dr. Drew has been incredibly helpful over the past couple of months. My husband and I have both been seeing him for separate problems- my shoulder and his back. After 6 weeks (only 6 weeks!) we both began to see major improvements in mobility, strength and pain level. I would highly recommend Dr. Drew to anyone having skeletal muscular issues! read more

Apollo soft tissue and spine has given me my quality of life back! I have severe neck and low back issues. I have been in terrible nagging pain with my neck for the last few years. I have tried physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, hot/cold packs, and medication. All of these interventions only gave my temporary relief from the pain. After only 1-2 visits at apollo my neck pain was 85% better. I honesty cannot believe how effective their treatment has been at getting to the root of the problem and fixing the issue. Kayla at the front desk is super friendly and helpful, the doctors and treatment are top notch, and the follow up visits only take 15 minutes! Central location in Cherry creek with free parking. This has been the best medical experience of my life... I am now pain free and back to my old more easy going self. I would HIGHLY recommend checking Apollo out. read more

I've been to a lot of different doctors to help with my constantly achy lower back and nothing helped even after countless visits. After just a couple treatments at Apollo I had no pain! I truly couldn't believe it. If you want to get better but are tired of looking for results, I highly recommend these guys to take your pain away! read more

My back pain began from an injury that stemmed from a car accident 30 years ago. Throughout those 30 years I tried many things including physical therapy, drugs that didn't really help and only hurt me in the long run among other things. Dr. Drew has given me the only relief from the pain that was keeping me from down. Thanks Dr Drew and thank you Kaila for all of your help also!!! read more

Before you see a surgeon, see these guys. My shoulder was freezing up, weak, and starting to cause pain and limiting in sports and working out. A random meeting with Dr Drew at a 7k, and 4 months later, I have full mobility, back to full weight strength and I no longer think about my shoulder while participating in sports. Cant say enough. read more

I had been dealing with shoulder pain for quite sometime, and was very lucky to find Dr. John! He is personable, great at listening, and truly wants to help you recover! He diagnosed and treated my shoulder pain, and I am happy to say it has been much better since visiting Apollo. I've also had lingering neck pain from a car accident years ago that had just become part of my daily life, and he has greatly helped my neck pain subside. I'm very grateful for their care and couldn't recommend them enough! read more

Dr. Appleman is truly great as a person and the muscle adhesion release technique worked for me after about 12 sessions. Under a year later, I attempted to set up an appointment for some work in the same area and was told I need to pay $170 for a re-consultation (not including the actual appointment fee). I felt as though another consultation appointment would be redundant and wasteful from a financial standpoint. We both are familiar with my spinal issue and nothing to my knowledge has changed in over a decade. On a separate occasion last year, I had a 10 second question for the doctor regarding my MRI results and was told I need to set up appointment to ask the question. I have very little chiropractic experiences to draw from, but I feel that most doctors I have interacted with in the past are able or even obligated to take a few seconds to help a patient out, whether via email or other means with out asking for money. My take is ..... customer service is poor when it comes to nickel and diming you. On the positive side, you will feel better if you can fork over some cash. read more

Apollo Soft Tissue is the real deal! I went in with shoulder and neck problems and slowly but surely Dr. Drew was able to restore my full range of motion in my shoulders. Dr. Drew is currently fixing problems in my neck and in the rest of my body and I'm seeing incredible results. I have seen my ROM, lifts, and rep range all increase after having adhesion in my shoulders broken up. I encourage anyone who has any kind of soft tissue injury to seek help from Apollo Soft Tissue before seeking surgery options. Dr. Drew & Dr. John are very professional, the office is clean, and the staff is very friendly. read more

I would not recommend this place and I would check how they charge insurance. First visit consist of talking only about one chief complaint with no treatment but somehow they tried to charge 3 codes. read more

Dr. John is the absolute BEST!!! If you are looking to live a pain free life then you MUST go see him, he is very knowledgeable and explains everything so well that you understand exactly why you have any pain and limitation and how he can help you gain your mobility back - his soft tissue technique that he uses is absolutely the BEST non-surgical way to fix any and I mean any musculo-skeletal issue - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. JOHN if you want to live a better healthier pain free and more mobile life. read more
