Functional Rehabilitation

Improve Movement and Function with our Functional Rehabilitation Therapy

Denver Spine & Performance specializes in Functional Rehabilitation, a form of physical therapy that helps restore muscle and joint functions, reducing pain, increasing mobility, and improving overall performance. We diagnose and treat the underlying issues causing pain or other musculoskeletal problems, including poor posture, muscle tightness or weakness, imbalances, and repetitive use injuries. 


Our Rehabilitation focus is on six core movement patterns - Pulling, Pushing, Squatting, Hinging, Lunging, and Carrying, which simulate daily activities. Once mastered, we introduce additional movements like jumping and running. Every treatment plan, designed by our skilled team, is customized to the patient's unique needs and goals. 


Our plans encompass manual therapy techniques like chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, and myofascial release, all performed by experienced chiropractor Dr. Andrew Pichurko. To enhance joint mobility, strengthen, and stabilize, we also include therapeutic exercises, electrical stimulation modalities, and the McKenzie Method. 


Our Functional Rehabilitation is ideal for athletes aiming to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and anyone seeking chronic pain relief or dealing with musculoskeletal conditions. Schedule your initial assessment today and start your journey towards optimal health with us!
