It is the only Physical Therapy clinic in the Denver Metro region specializing in low back and neck pain. It's main mission is to provide an environment where the patient receives the therapy current research dictates. At the same there is a recognition that research dictated care can only take a patient to a certain level; a CARING environment is equally important.
