I've been a patient twice before so when I started experiencing pain in my right hip, knee and…read moreankle, I requested a referral from my PCP. Spenser evaluated my issues and found that my right leg was shorter than the other as well as identifying the possible causes of my pain. Over the course of 6 weeks six both Spenser and Alex provided physical therapy exercises and within a very short period of time my endurance and gait improved significantly and my hip, knee and ankle pain improved significantly. I also have experienced great results from the at-home exercises. I will be discharged tomorrow, 8/13/26 and couldn't be happier with my results. As always, the staff members are very friendly and professional.

I have received physical therapy at Functional Performance Physical Therapy, 6169 S. Balsam Way,…read morefor core strengthening, focusing on stabilizing the spine and pelvis through targeted, progressive exercises that engage deep abdominal, back, and hip muscles. Having fallen several times, with and without my walker, I have been in and out of physical therapy for the past fourteen years. I have a total lumbar fusion, two total knee replacements, an index finger surgery in which I nearly lost it, three abdominal surgeries, and am obese. Since moving to Littleton, CO, from Wisconsin in 2024, I have been on continuous oxygen therapy 24/7 for COPD. Additionally, I have neuropathy in both feet and lymphedema, and I underwent vascular surgery on both legs within the past year. I use tactile compression boots on my legs and feet daily and often wrap them with Ace bandages. The therapists here are brilliant! I am very impressed with their knowledge and skills, and my primary care doctor is equally pleased with their practice. I had Rebecca and Tom for most of the first fifteen months. Tom consistently monitored my oxygen levels because I wasn't on oxygen therapy until he diagnosed that I needed it. My oxygen levels stayed at 80-83 for a few sessions, and I began feeling weak and faint. He told me I needed my doctor to check me and prescribe oxygen so I could raise my level above 90. I am very grateful to him because my previous primary care doctor was less than satisfactory. I made an appointment with a pulmonologist at the National Jewish Health Center in Denver, where I was sent home with an oxygen canister the same day. Shortly after, I found a new primary care doctor. I returned after a couple of weeks and continued my sessions with Tom and a student field experience associate for a few months. After a five-month break, I have returned to Functional Performance and am starting to focus on my back and legs. Tom is no longer at this location, so I have seen Rebecca and Alex. Rebecca reassessed me and assigned me to Alex for the coming weeks. He did an excellent job warming up my back muscles and legs. Then, he guided me through the exercises Rebecca had assigned on my first day back. I am keeping a daily workout log and sending it to my daughter via SMS to stay motivated. Thanks to all the wonderful staff at Functional Performance, including the amazing receptionists and administrative assistants, Laura and Mary!

Ross was my trainer and was helpful and added a variety to the workout which is not something I could have done on my own. Thank you both!! Also the studio was clean and followed all covid rules!

The owner, Jess Taylor has been my Pilates instructor nearly 4 years. After more orthopedic surgeries than I care to post, it is because of her knowledge, experience and caring approach to her clients, that I can do absolutely everything that I love to do in a body that is strong and balanced even with all the new parts. She has taught me how my body is supposed to work mechanically and how to optimize what I do and how I do it to keep it working that way. My daughter and my friends have equally benefited from the good that happens working with Jess. So happy she's in the hood now - can't wait to try out all the fun new classes at the Ground too!!

I met Sandra at the Resolute Brewing 1 yr anniversary and had no idea what pilates exactly is…read more Pilates is a little like yoga as far as mind and body, but it focuses on a total body workout and movement efficiency while keeping its main focus of keeping the integrity of the spine. Sandra had me try the pilates chair and while she makes the movement look so simple, it is super difficult and involves so much core; Sandra makes it look effortless and that is what I want to be as far as fitness goals. Sandra went into great detail about how to do the pilates chair correctly with hand and feet placement as well as describing how your head, knees, and ankles need to be in order to ensure a full body workout. Because Sandra also specializes in pain management as well as working and re-working your pain receptors, she noticed immediately that I need more strength in my feet, which I don't disagree with. I signed up on the spot and can't wait for my first session!! Sandra also does P-DTR (proprioceptive deep tendon reflex), which is used to correct faulty movement patterns. ie: gait, which is one of the primary reasons I signed up.

It was so bad that I could barely walk, let alone run. I went to Sandra after I had heard how great she was from mutual friends, she muscle tested me and used P-DTR to determine what was causing my shin splints. After 2 short sessions of her working on my shins, they pain went completely away! I was able to run again, after not being able to do so for months. She corrected my muscles and stimulated them so they would work properly again. Ever since she worked on me, I have not suffered from shin splints. Thank you Sandra!!!!

First and foremost, my PT always addresses and helps to get my pain controlled rather quickly. Then they take the time to teach me correct movement patterns and give me exercises to reinforce them. They have helped get my back, shoulder, and neck pain under control. The staff does an excellent job of helping to prioritize appointments and calling to fit you in if you're on a wait list. I had a bout with vertigo last July, and I was luckily seen quickly, as I was leaving the country for several months. My PT Ellen even helped me make a video of the exercise to help alleviate it. Sadly, I've had to go back to that video since then, but I felt so grateful to have it. My main therapists have been Bill and Melissa, and they are both excellent!!
