Rocky Mountain Spine & Sport Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: I was in a car accident a couple of years ago. I was treated by many doctors of many different specialties. All of which in the beginning said they would fix me, then months later they told me that they could no longer help me. I then had the pleasure of being referred to Vince. He has been a great help. I even drive across town to seek his care. Every one that I have dealt with at A. Fox Physical Therapy has been very friendly and helpful! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I came to physical therapy in pretty sad shape. My recent pregnancy (and really, the two pregnancies prior) had really distressed my muscles, in particular my neck, shoulders, and head. I had trouble standing up without concentrating on it because my pelvis had gotten so compromised. I was dizzy any time I moved my arms, my balance was getting more and more off, driving caused me anxiety, and I was having a hard time sleeping because of the pain. I'd recently gotten the lovely fibromyalgia diagnosis from my physican. They prescribed a few different anti depressants and exercise, and I was becoming incredibly frustrated and scared. I had stopped doing so many of my favorite activities (playing the piano, going for walks, riding my bike) because it hurt my shoulders and neck...I really felt like the oldest, most hopeless 32 year old on the planet. To add to my frustration, I'd spent so much time and money seeing different chiropractors, trying every diet change and metal detox and cranio-sacral therapy - you name it, I'd tried it! On recommendation of my OB, I made an appt with Juliana and Dr Fox. The dry needling has been a godsend for me. The pain didn't come off immediately, but the progress I have made has been amazing. Within two months, I was playing the piano again and driving without the dizzy, strange disorienting feeling. My energy has gotten better, and I'm finding that I didn't realize how much pain I was in until it has subsided. Juliana suggested I join a pilates class to help strengthen my stabilizing muscles, and it's helped immensely. It hasn't been immediate relief, which isn't surprising considering how much myofascial pain and disfunction I came in with, but they have done more for me in six months than any of the other work I've had done in the past several years. I haven't even had the inclination to revisit the chiropractors or massage therapists or anyone else, and I find myself just grinning any time I touch some of these soft muscles. Thank you, Dr Fox and Juliana. You've given me hope and helped me to enjoy this new little baby!

Fantastic experience: I have been to A. Fox Physical Therapy several times for various injuries (mostly back) and have nothing but good things to say about them. I am a fairly aggressive snowboarder and mountain biker, so I wanted to be fixed. My first back injury had me in so much pain I could barely sit. After my first treatment with Annie, the sharp pain was gone the next day (for which I was much relieved), and she was able to help me get back to normal. My most recent (and current) visit is for a shoulder injury. This time I have worked with Vincent and Natalie, and they have been very helpful. The dry needling works wonders for me, and Vincent has a lot of sports medicine background which is great for me. Highly recommended. I skipped the doctor this last time and went straight to physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: I was having some very intense sciatica type pain in my hip and leg. Anne listened to what I was feeling and dry needled the muscles that had trigger points in them. After not being able to bend down or out on shoes without a ton of pain for 3 months, I am feeling much better now and will be back. Very impressed with the results of the dry needling.

Fantastic experience: I saw Lucas in the Golden office after denying my shoulder problems for 2 years. Neglecting the problem that long presented more problems than the average for recovery. During the treatment, he always made himself accessible to answer my many questions and assure me that what I was experiencing was normal. On top of that he was up front & honest about if we didn't see progress within a certain period of time, that he may not be able to help. Thankfully, there was progress and he was able to help, but at least he was honest enough to not bring me in for a year's worth of treatment to fill someone's pockets. I think that A Fox (especially Lucas) is really much better than your average Physical Therapy offices. I learned a lot about my injury and was never pushed to put myself into pain for my recovery. I was always given alternative exercises that kept me both comfortable and became ultimately a solution to recovery.

Fantastic experience: My Therapist was Julianne, She was Wonderful, Knowledgeable, with the right amount of torture to put me back together after my neck surgery. She was always upbeat and supportive. The office personal were always very Professional. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to get healthy and willing to put in the work necessary to uptain there desired results. All the people at A. Fox Physical Therapy will give you all the tools to push you over and above your goals, but it is ultimately up to you to push yourself.

Fantastic experience: I was recently in a car accident and A. Fox physical therapy was recommended by a few people I know. I have not been disappointed! Ive been working with Vincent for some time now. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helps educate his clients on their conditions and why he has me following a specific regimen. I would recommend this place to anyone that wishes to rehab in a healthy, positive, and fun manner.

Fantastic experience: I completed 20 Physical Therapy sessions at the Golden location. Most of my therapy was with Lucas Armstrong. He was a VERY caring individual. Lucas provided me with a program that changed with my progress and made a difference in the quality of my livelihood. I felt like I was a unique individual under his care and never as if my treatment was a 'cattle call'. My therapy was customized to suit my needs and assist in my advancement. At one point, I had hit rock bottom & the pain was horrible. When I finally broke free of the pain, I called Lucas to share the good news. He was as excited as I was. I highly recommend his work. Thank you Lucas for all that you have done for me.

Fantastic experience: I have chronic lower back pain. Kelly keeps the pain bearable through dry needling. She stays on top of her profession by continually researching new developments and new techniques. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone suffering with chronic pain.

Fantastic experience: Amazing! I went in to A. Fox Therapy, suggested by Dr. Mullin, after 4 weeks of not being able to sit down or drive, due to muscle issues in my right hip area. After the first session, I could almost have full motion in my hip!!! I went back for a second session, and now have the compete full motion in my hip!!! I will go back anytime I have a muscle issue, and I will be sending my family to A. Fox Therapy.

Fantastic experience: After 2 major car accidents and severe whip lash this has been my favorite place to be!! Tyler is absolutely amazing and I would recommend him to anyone needing physical therapy! He listens and I always feel great after seeing him. He's definitely great at what he does! I'm definitely pleased and glad to continue under his care! Thanks Tyler!

Fantastic experience: Really liked this place the staff was outstanding any when i could not make a session they worked with me. Annie is AMAZING i am now pain free (lower back) and the receptionist was OUTSTANDING if i ever need to go back this is where i want to go. Thanks Ann Fox and staff. (Golden)

Fantastic experience: Very pleasant; everyone is friendly, I have a very good rapport with the front desk people as well as the therapists themselves. They call to remind me of appts and they seem to be quite knowledgeable about what type of therapy is best for my specific needs. I recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic experience: "A Fox Physical Therapy has done wonders for me. In Sept 2014 I suffered a very severe concussion. I was suffering from horrible headaches, mood swings, sensitivity to light and sounds, and neck pain from impact. For awhile I never thought I would get better and was very depressed. I tried, acupuncture, massage therapy, and rest. Nothing was helping. I was referred to A Fox from my doctor at Western Orthopedics and began to get immediate relief through a rehab exercise program and dry needling. The combined therapy completely got rid of my headaches within a month and my neck pain within a few months. My mood went back to normal and I was able to to resume my normal physical workouts and activities I enjoy to do like running, hiking, yoga. It also got me back to my firefighting job full time. In the middle of all this I also had shoulder decompression surgery. The dry needling done by Dr. Fox has increased my range of motion in my shoulder and allowed me to get back to firefighting quicker. I had the privilege of working with Maggie, who was amazing, kind and very knowledgeable. I also was dry needled by Allison, Lucas, and Dr. Fox. Dr. Fox's ability to treat pain and symptoms of injuries and headaches is incredible. Her knowledge of dry needling is second to none, and she is able to provide immediate relief of pain. Her demeanor is kind and caring and she takes the time to listen thoroughly to the issues you are having before she treats you. The therapy clinic is clean and organized, the staff is amazing, and the results have been more than I could have ever imagined. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Over the years I have had several physical therapist for a reoccurring injury however it was not until two years ago when I went to A. Fox Physical Therapy that I actually received results. Not only did they work with me to fix the problem with Dry Needling rather than just give a short term pain reliever they treated me like family. The front desk knew my name after the first visit and was also professional; they are always on time with their appointments and great to work with. I have and will continue to refer anyone needing therapy to A Fox office.

Fantastic experience: I would give ten stars if I could. Lucas Armstrong has been helping me for about five years or more with dry needling, exercise and referrals for some complex medical issues I have. He has "saved" me from having to have additional procedures like nerve ablations with his dry needling skills. I can't say enough good things about Lucas. He really knows his stuff and I am constantly more educated through our conversations. I think the staff here is excellent too. I love everyone here.

Fantastic experience: Stefani and Brian were a pleasure to work with. Very professional and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and professional. They did a great job with needling and giving exercises for my TMJ.

Fantastic experience: Excellent practice! Extremely professional and thorough. Dr. Lucas Armstrong has helped me through the last 15 weeks or so of full knee replacement post-operative PT. Knowledge, experience and a passion to help people, come together through Lucas' care, advice and direction. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: The entire staff here is amazing! The receptionist is kind and sweet. My Physical Therapist Stephanie is amazing, she is thorough, thoughtful, and is attentive. She always checks to make sure that any exercise she has me do, does not aggravate my sciatica and herniated disc. I highly recommend Rocky Mountain Spine and Sport for Physical Therapy! Thank you Stephanie and team!!!☺️☺️

Fantastic experience: Lucas Armstrong was fantastic . He is super knowledgeable, explained with easy analogies so I could follow the depth of my pain. He read the problem and found the root cause to solve it in just 2 days. I am hoping and praying it (my ankle pain) will not come back. Thank you Diana for accommodating my request. You were super helpful in reducing my pain. Overall this is a great place with loads of talent.

Fantastic experience: Developing spontaneous and unexplained ‘Tennis Elbow’ issues, it was suggested to me by friends and family to perhaps seek some sort of Physical Therapy. I called up Rocky Mountain Spine & Sport - initially and mainly only because it was the closest and most convenient location to my home in Thornton. Once I became a patient of theirs, I was treated by Brian, a pleasant and well-informed therapist. After a few regular visits and learning key stretches and exercises, my condition dissipated to the point where I had full use of my arm once again. Months later, I have developed pain in my wrist and thumb of the same arm - which I assume is related to the same condition as before. Returning to RMS&S I am now being treated by Lucas - an equally intelligent, informed and capable therapist who has suggested a few key things I can due to improve the health and function of my left arm, wrist and thumb. During both experiences at this particular center, I have found the front desk service to be very pleasant, accommodating, informative and patient - especially when dealing with insurance-related issues. I plan on returning to this practice time and again whenever my health needs require Physical Therapy. A clean and well outfitted facility through and through.

Fantastic experience: Pros: I have gone to RMSSPT for several months. I was there for pre-hab before my total knee replacement, and I had phenomenal results. Now, I’m back for post-surgical rehab. The staff members are competent and I have worked with Brian and Stephanie. Both are great, but in slightly different ways. I’ll work with Brian (therapist) in the beginning sessions to address my specific injury and then switch to Stephanie (therapy assistant) who helps my entire body deal with a new way of being. She has given me great suggestions for how to improve between sessions. She looks at the whole body and suggests exercises that will correct my gait, prevent falls and rehab the leg as it is a part of a bigger system. The hips and ankles also needed work in order for the knee to be less stressed and prevent falls. I appreciate this approach tailored to my body and the personal attention. Cons: RMSSPT often assigns two clients to a practitioner at the same time, which is hectic for everyone. I recommend requesting a private session. I still get the exercises in a joint session, but it is hard to get the light massage that releases the stiffness and inflammation - which improves performance.

Fantastic experience: I have had PT several times in the past. Every time, I would quit going after a week or two. Mostly because of the lack of interest and lack of connection I felt from the facility. Not at RMSS PT! The entire staff is welcoming and genuinely care about their patients. I had the extreme pleasure of working with Stephanie! She is knowledgeable, genuinely cares about her patients and takes the time to listen and do whatever she can to assist with recovery. My experience has been top notch and I'm sad to not see Stephanie each week. I would recommend RMSS PT and Stephanie to anyone looking for an amazing physical therapist!!

Fantastic experience: When I went to Rocky Mountain Spine I could not even walk up stairs without being in extreme pain. My leg muscles were so tight and sore. This was my first experience with Rocky Mtn, I have been to other physical therapy and it seemed it made my issue worse and I didn’t achieve results. I was thinking I needed surgery but my doctor talked me into trying P.T. again. I can say I am so happy to have gotten paired with Bryan Lee who took the time one on one and focused on my leg muscle issues. He performed dry needling and EMS stimulation, gave me strengthening exercises and stretches throughout my sessions loosening those muscles needed to achieve my goals and am now pain free and going upstairs with ease and walking distances again! Bryan is wonderful and I would recommend him for anyone looking for a great physical therapist. Thanks again Bryan, P.S. Go Nuggets!

Fantastic experience: Had tendinitis in my shoulder that was disrupting daily activity & sleep, in constant pain. After 14 sessions there is no pain, my shoulder feels stronger & best of all no medication necessary. I worked with Stephanie Ruloph most often & appreciate her knowledge & skills that helped me get my mobility back without the aid of pain meds.

Fantastic experience: Stephanie is AMAZING!!!! I was so depressed when I first started seeing her because my neck and back were a mess. The MRI of my c-spine was disheartening and the orthopedic doctor I saw was totally discouraging. Stephanie reassured me I was going to be fine, and she was right!!! She uses the McKenzie Method which is the most gentle treatment and so effective - I’m a huge fan! Lucas is also great and very knowledgeable. He did most of the dry needling which was also very helpful controlling the pain. I’ve graduated, so to speak, and I am so grateful for the wonderful treatment I received. I can’t recommend them enough and I know I won’t go anywhere else in the future if I need physical therapy!

Fantastic experience: After my rotator cuff surgery, I couldn't have found a better place for my PT than Rocky Mountain Spine & Sport Physical Therapy. I was able to work with the entire staff (Lucas, Stephanie, Bryan, and Ali) through my recovery, getting different exercises and perspectives from each therapist. They were all familiar with the shoulder surgeon, his expectations and recovery program. From my first appointment in the arm/shoulder harness, to the last appointment where I was working with normal weight on the cable machine pain-free, the entire experience was outstanding. Highly recommended - 10 stars!

Fantastic experience: Stephanie with Spine & Sport has been a miracle worker! She explains the reason for the pain and provides multiple ways to help work to decrease my pain and increase my range of motion and strength. She can often see the tightness in my shoulder before I am able to tell her about it. With the smallest of movements and tweaks she is able to provide relief. I'm now a form believer in PT and cannot recommend Spine and Sport enough!

Fantastic experience: I am very appreciative of the work Stephanie is doing with me. Her depth of knowledge and observational skills are quite amazing. After 9 months trying to rehab from a total knee replacement, she is the first therapist who considers my leg length difference and spinal fusions along with rehabbing my knee and leg muscles. It is without reservation that I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Both therapists are great at their jobs. Brian clears up lot of hip pain for me using dry needling and both gave me stretches and exercises that have helped me get back to normal. I highly recommend both of them.

Fantastic experience: After seeing multiple Physical Therapists I was lucky enough to see Lucas at Rocky Mountain Spine and Sport. He made all the difference in the world. I would have called BS on most Physical Therapists but Lucas was different. What he instructed me to do seemed so simple but was so effective. I can't imagine getting back on track after surgery without the level of physical therapy that I received.

Fantastic experience: Lukas helped me to fix my lower back. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Rocky Mountain Spine & Sport Physical Therapy was my first experience with a physical therapist. I admit, I was skeptical at first. My experience from start to finish was exceptional. The front staff is friendly and efficient. My PT, Lucas, is amazing. He took the time to explain things to me and patiently showed me the exercises I needed to do. Lucas' enthusiasm with my progress made me want to do my exercises! I hope to never need PT again, but if I do, I will definitely go to Rocky Mountain Spine & Sport Physical Therapy and request Lucas.

Fantastic experience: As a 30 year old male- I never imagined having this severe of back pain, let alone a herniated disc. I tried other physical therapists, chiropractors, and nothing seemed to be working. After seeing Dr. Lucas for just 5 weeks, he helped me stabilize my core by getting back into the gym and doing dynamic stretches and exercises. I'm now on my way to recovery. I couldn't recommend RMSS or Dr. Lucas Armstrong more! If you are in pain, give them a shot. Also the hour long sessions help a TON, vs traditional 30 min appointments.

Fantastic experience: The staff is curteous and the Physical Therapists are incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I had a significant decrease in pain after just one visit. I'm incredibly excited to have found the perfect PT!

Fantastic experience: Awesome staff and even better care went for both knee replacement rehabs and would recommend them

Fantastic experience: Only the best of the best! I had a great time learning more about my body and healing through physical therapy here. I had Brooke as my PT and we always had a fun time. I’ve learned lots of exercises to stay fit and healthy in the future!

Fantastic experience: I came to Rocky Mtn Spine with a nerve issue that was affecting my mobility, sleep and every day life. Brooke Doody was welcoming, understanding, patient, extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to get me back to 100%. She explained every activity and demonstrated each movement. She was prepared for each session to help me progress and it truly made all the difference. I would highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Bryan Lee is an amazing physical therapist! He helped me get back to doing the activities I love, I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Lucas and his staff are amazing! Not only is my lower back feeling a million times better I received a thorough education along the way. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Hands down THE best therapy I have received. I have tried it all after my years of military service, and nothing has helped relieve my back pain like BROOKE has! For me, it was the knowledge backed by application that allowed me to feel better and give me confidence in being able to apply that knowledge to re-train my body back into proper technique. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Brooke was extremely helpful, she looked past some surface issues and helped me find the real issue I was having to help me with my pain for a longer period. We worked for over a month and then she started preparing me to be able to continue to work on my own at home or in a gym. I highly recommend her to anyone. The location is easy and centrally located for north east and north central patients and the staff there is helpful and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Lucas is an incredible PT and has helped several of our family members over the years! He is very knowledgeable & kind. I recommend him & this entire group enthusiastically. Elyssa, one of the office staff, is INCREDIBLE! We were having difficulty figuring out our insurance and understanding our benefits. I was ready to give up and just pay out of pocket because it was such a hassle & we couldn’t get answers. She would not give up even after I had. Day after day, she kept calling and calling, speaking to different people until she got to the bottom of the issue. Thanks to her persistence and her refusal to give up, I am now able to use my insurance to cover my physical therapy and I’m paying half of what I would’ve been otherwise. Truly, I’ve rarely ever experienced this level of customer service!

Fantastic experience: Awesome staff and great recovery path. I worked primarily with Laura who was both encouraging and persistent on the help to my recovery. Thank you for helping me get back up to speed!

Fantastic experience: I had major back surgery and my PT therapist Ryan Templet was outstanding. just the right interaction with the correct exercises that facilitated a speedy recovery.

Fantastic experience: I came to A. Fox Physical Therapy after a flare up of a lower back and hip problem. The whole staff if great and Dr. Wenger was amazing and was able to get me moving again. She also showed me exercises on how to prevent the flare ups in the future. It's the first time in three years that I've been consistently pain free.

Fantastic experience: This was the best PT experience I have ever had. Tyler L. really worked with me both pre and post knee replacement surgery. He sat down and listened to my concerns to come up with a working PT plan. I could have not asked for a better experience. The staff/admin were great. It was nice to walk in for my appointments and be greeted on a first name basis. Great place to get better.

Fantastic experience: They have the most amazing office staff who understood and worked with me through my anxiety to get me scheduled as soon as possible. The front desk staff was so caring and helpful. The therapist I saw, Jeni, was so patient and took the time to answer all my questions and explain everything, she even got a spine model to show me what is happening in my spine and how the exercises we are starting with will help and how they look on the spine when they’re done correctly. I’m brand new as of this morning and I already can’t speak highly enough of this practice! I would give them more than 5 stars if it was possible!

Fantastic experience: I was in so much pain and could hardly walk standing straight up with her without a walker. This place was amazing and is amazing. And I know this sounds weird but I love the dry needling it made me feel so good. I definitely recommend Dr Lucas!!!
