What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is healthcare that helps you move better, recover from injury or surgery, and manage pain — often without the need for medication or surgery as a first step. At ASPIRE Therapy and Wellness in Louisville, Colorado, our licensed physical therapists evaluate movement, prescribe individualized exercise programs, perform hands-on manual therapy, and educate you on what's driving your symptoms and how to recover safely.
Every patient gets a one-on-one evaluation with a doctor of physical therapy (DPT) who handles your care from start to finish. We don't use therapy aides or techs, ever. We see adults of all ages with a particular depth of expertise in older adults, post-surgical rehabilitation, and neurological conditions including Parkinson's disease.
We serve patients across the Front Range — including Louisville, Boulder, Superior, Lafayette, Broomfield, Longmont, and Erie — from our outpatient clinic at 1371 Hecla Dr, Suite E in Louisville.
Conditions We Treat
Our physical therapists treat a wide range of orthopedic, neurological, and age-related conditions. If you're not sure whether physical therapy can help with your specific concern, call 303-963-5582 — we're happy to talk it through.
Our Approach
We pull from a deep toolkit to design care that's specific to you — never one-size-fits-all. Below are the interventions and certifications we use most often.
Hands-on joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and myofascial release to restore mobility and reduce pain.
Progressive, individualized exercise programs targeting strength, mobility, and motor control.
Trigger-point dry needling for chronic muscle tension, myofascial pain, and movement dysfunction.
Certified LSVT BIG protocol — evidence-based therapy designed specifically for people with Parkinson's disease.
Treatment for dizziness, BPPV, and balance disorders using evidence-based vestibular protocols.
Pre-surgical conditioning to build strength and mobility before surgery — improves outcomes and shortens recovery.
Home safety assessments, fall risk reduction, and mobility planning to help you stay independent at home.
Evidence-based, non-pharmacological approaches to chronic and acute pain — manual therapy, exercise, education.
When to See a Physical Therapist
Many people delay PT thinking the pain will resolve on its own — or that they need to see a doctor first. Neither is necessary. Common situations that benefit from physical therapy:
Pain that lasts more than a week or that keeps coming back
Difficulty with daily activities like stairs, getting up from a chair, or sleeping comfortably
Recovery after surgery or injury — early PT improves outcomes
Falls, fear of falling, or noticeable balance changes
Wanting to start an exercise program safely with professional guidance
Before an upcoming surgery to prepare your body for faster recovery
What to Expect
Initial evaluations are one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist — no techs or aides, ever. Here's what happens:
We talk through what brought you in, your medical history, what you've tried, and what you're hoping to get back to.
Strength testing, range-of-motion, posture, balance, gait, and palpation of the affected area to identify what's driving your symptoms.
You leave with a clear understanding of what's going on, how many visits we expect, what to do at home, and what's next.
Most patients receive treatment on day one — manual therapy, exercise instruction, and education. You don't wait for a second visit to start feeling better.
Investment
We work with most major insurance carriers — including Medicare, Medicare Railroad, most Medicare Advantage plans, United Healthcare, and Select Health. Call 303-963-5582 for a full list of accepted carriers.

Frequently Asked
Don't see your question? Call 303-963-5582 or send us a message.
No. Colorado is a direct-access state, which means you can schedule physical therapy at ASPIRE without a physician's referral. Medicare patients and patients with certain in-network insurance plans are an exception — for those, ASPIRE asks for a physician's order before starting therapy to protect your continuity of care and ensure services are reimbursed by your insurance carrier. Read the full guide.
Yes. We work with most major insurance carriers including Medicare, Medicare Railroad, most Medicare Advantage plans, United Healthcare, and Select Health. Call 303-963-5582 for a full list of accepted carriers and to verify your specific plan. We verify your benefits before your first appointment so you know your expected out-of-pocket cost.
Cash-pay rates at ASPIRE: $177 for the initial evaluation, $75 for a 30-minute follow-up session, $108 for 45 minutes, and $140 for a 60-minute session. These rates are often less expensive than insurance copays plus deductibles, especially for patients with high-deductible plans.
Most patients see meaningful improvement within 6 to 12 visits, depending on the condition, severity, and treatment goals. Chronic conditions and post-surgical rehab may require longer plans of care. Your therapist will give you an estimated timeline at your initial evaluation.
Physical therapy focuses on restoring movement, strength, and function through exercise, manual therapy, and education — with a goal of long-term independence and self-management. Chiropractic care focuses on spinal alignment through adjustments. PTs hold a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree and treat a broader range of conditions including post-surgical recovery, neurological disorders, and balance/vestibular issues.
Yes. Several of our physical therapists are certified in dry needling and use it for chronic muscle tension, trigger points, and movement dysfunction. Dry needling is included as part of a regular treatment session — there's no separate charge.
LSVT BIG is an evidence-based physical and occupational therapy protocol developed specifically for people with Parkinson's disease. It uses high-amplitude movements to retrain the brain and improve motor function. ASPIRE has LSVT BIG certified clinicians. Learn more about our Parkinson's program.

In many cases, yes. Research consistently shows that PT is as effective as surgery for several common conditions, including degenerative meniscus tears, certain rotator cuff issues, and most low back pain. PT is also an excellent first step before deciding on surgery — and prehabilitation before a planned surgery improves recovery outcomes.
