Atlas Physical Therapy - Highlands

Fantastic experience: After arthroscopic knee surgery, I was impatient to get back to working out and return to my everyday regimen. I had seen multiple physical therapists around Colorado and Body in Balance has been the best experience by far. Sissy and Jouay (sorry if I spelled that wrong) are polite and welcoming as you enter the office. Lara is extremely knowledgeable and offered me a variety of exercises to keep me on track and starting to feel like my old self. I can be very structured and Lara communicated options to me in a professional manner while frequently inserting her hilarious sense of humor. I actually looked forward to my physical therapy appointments as I felt she truly wanted me to get better as soon as possible and had my best interests at heart. I would HIGHLY recommend the folks here as they offer a breadth of expertise in their fields coupled with sincere concern.

Fantastic experience: When I first started going to PT, ahead of hip surgery, I went to another local clinic. I was one of 6 people the therapist was working with at the same time. I felt like a number - as if that clinic was just trying to get as many people as possible in the door. I did not feel important nor very respected. That all changed when I found Body in Balance (which I discovered by walking in front of their building) and Lara, the therapist I worked with, was SO amazing (but I think they all likely are based on observations while I was there). From the moment I walked in to inquire about their services, I felt like I was important. They are a small office, that really focuses on patient health. The entire team there works extremely hard to ensure patients come first and are a priority. Lara was incredible - very reassuring, assisting me with staying within my limits and then pushing me beyond those once I was ready (or once I should have been ready). Post-surgery, they did everything they could to help me navigate the facility, and constantly checked in with me at each visit. The entire team there is friendly, and full of hard work ethic and devotion to client care. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Body in Balance. Oh, and by the way - each therapist only works with one patient at a time - so you feel incredibly cared for and special.

Fantastic experience: I have loved working with Atlas PT! Kate was recommended to me by someone in my birth class…and I’m so happy she was! I saw her the last several weeks of my pregnancy and am working with her and Mandy as I’m healing postpartum. It’s been so helpful to ease back into exercise and movement and feel supported while doing it! Highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Atlas Physical Therapy Highlands has made my physical therapy experience so much better! Trusting doctors who put in the work because they care is definitely one of their best attributes. I wouldn't choose anyone else!

Fantastic experience: Kate and Mandy are fabulous! My abs had separated past my belly button during pregnancy, and after a few short months of PT, I'm comfortably recovered--I'm even bouldering again! It was so wonderful to have a place to go twice a week where I could talk about how my body was feeling and know that I would be taken care of. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff. Everyone is very knowledgeable and willing to work with you at your own pace. I worked closely with Jasmine after my Achilles surgery and just after a few months, I was walking around normal and now I’m back to 100% just in time for Ski season. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: After a fall while hiking on ice back in March, and not only dislocating my shoulder, but tearing cartilage, and having surgery to button it all back up, I was at first a bit worried as to whether I’d regain full motion of my arm again. I needed physical therapy to get my arm back. After a quick search, I found Atlas; not only was it near my home, but the reviews were stellar. “Okay, I’ll try here,” I thought to myself. It was a great decision. Not only do they know what they’re doing to get a body back to its former state, but they’re full of kind, conversational, funny folks. Makes sense, considering not only do these people do this kind of stuff full time for a living, but they’re doctors- of course they’re going to make it fun and enjoyable. I saw Isabella, then later Dillon, and every session was calculated and precise to help to return my achey, weak shoulder back to its full range of strength and motion. Both were highly professional in their practice, using their highly trained set of skills to not only get me back to where I needed to be, but what sure looked like the same type of progress for the other patients around me. I would highly recommend these folks over and over, particularly the two I saw regularly, who throughout regular practice, helped me to return to full power. Five stars for Isabella and Dillon.

Fantastic experience: Jasmine and her team are unbelievable. Always kind, instructive and eager to help. Can't recommend them or their staff enough!

Fantastic experience: I continue to have an incredible and supportive experience at Atlas. Both Kate and Jazmin are wonderful humans and knowledgeable physical therapists!!!! Truly the entire staff and my experience at Atlas on Pecos deserves 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Atlas is the best! Kate and Mandy helped me to make major improvements in a few short months, and I'm endlessly grateful to them. The whole Atlas crew makes for such a friendly, fun, and welcoming environment. Who knew PT could be fun?! Highly recommend Atlas for your PT needs.

Fantastic experience: Always thankful for the Highlands Atlas team! Kate, Meg, Jasmine, Mandy and Christina are always so eager to give you the best experience possible. Super friendly clinic, definitely recommend and they don't disappoint in making you feel cared for! Thank you Highland Atlas team!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Atlas physical therapy for help with my broken leg as well as back issues from a car accident. Jasmine has been amazing! Clean and open space.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Kate at Atlas Physical Therapy and highly recommend her to all the new moms out there. She helped me strengthen my pelvic floor and get my core strength back. Mandy, Kate’s exercise assistant, is also an absolute joy to work with. It’s a friendly, lively environment and I appreciated that I was able to bring my baby to a few sessions.

Fantastic experience: The therapists here are extremely knowledgeable and caring. The only place I’d go for physical therapy in Denver!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Atlas Physical Therapy Highlands! The staff here are exceptional. They are not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but they also genuinely care about their patients' well-being. My therapist, Kate and her exercise specialist, Mandy went above and beyond to create a personalized treatment plan that addressed my specific needs. Their patience and dedication to my progress were truly remarkable. I cannot thank the team at Atlas enough for their outstanding care and support throughout my rehabilitation journey. Thanks to them, I feel stronger and healthier than ever.

Fantastic experience: All the providers are super friendly and helpful! They listen to your needs and the facility is clean and comfortable too.

Fantastic experience: Huge shout out to both Kate and Mandy at Atlas Physical Therapy! I came in with a knee injury and in severe pain. My doctor originally misdiagnosed me with a torn meniscus, but within 3 weeks of PT twice a week (and staying on top of my at home stretches and exercises) I was back to normal! Everyone at Atlas is super friendly and will push you the right amount.

Fantastic experience: I am beyond thankful to both Kate and Sarah! They have the best pelvic floor therapy program ever and the best exercise program ever for physical therapy in general. They know how to work with persons with all types of disabilities and they are extremely accommodating in the way they tailor their exercise program. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience and if I ever need to come back I know where to come! I can now independently do all of these different exercises from home which is very liberating and I’m so thankful to always have a place where I can come if I ever need any extra support. They have such a nurturing welcoming environment and are super emotionally supportive as well! I really really hope both Kate and Sarah see this review! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart! Atlas PT is so lucky to have Kate, she is an outstanding pelvic floor therapist that will bend over backwards to make sure you’re getting the most out of the program for overall wellness!

Fantastic experience: Kate and the team at Atlas do a wonderful job. They truly care about their patients well-being. They are efficient yet thorough and very knowledgeable in the physical therapy services they provide. I would highly recommend their postpartum PT. They are also a wonderful resource for questions, other wellness service referrals, and are a positive, supportive team to be around. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Atlas. I appreciate that their programs are really meant to help you recover. Kate is exceptional. Meg is also great, she is so patient and kind. She walked me through every step. The whole team is so helpful. I couldn’t recommend Atlas more.

Fantastic experience: Have been to the downtown and Colfax locations, and the team over at Highlands is as top notch as the whole Atlas network. The DPTs and exercise specialists and entire staff are extremely knowledgeable, they cater each session to where you're at, and they've saved me more than once when I've had setbacks. Couldn't recommend more highly

Fantastic experience: All the folks at Atlas Physical Therapy in Denver's Sunnyside neighborhood have been fantastic to work with. Dr. Long is patient, attentive, and a highly skilled practitioner who I overwhelmingly recommend to anyone searching for effective physical therapy services.

Fantastic experience: I spent all summer of 2022 working with Kate, Meg and the staff at Atlas to rehab my left leg after a gruesome snowboarding injury in April. They exceeded expectations in every way possible, and can't recommend them highly enough. My improvement in just a few months' time was fantastic, and the Atlas team was always responsive to how my body reacted to various therapies. I'll always be grateful to them in their help on my recovery journey. Thank you, Kate; thank you, Meg!

Fantastic experience: Kate at Atlas is extremely knowledgeable, personable, patient and kind. She has fixed a back issue of mine that no other physical therapists could. She is absolutely incredibly and I would highly recommend working with her. Additionally, her knowledge of women’s health, bodies and sustaining my care was impeccable!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here since February 2022 for pre/post ACL reconstruction. I have met with multiple providers during my time and am happy with my overall experience. Their online patient portal with at home exercises is super helpful! I would highly recommend Atlas!

Fantastic experience: I recently visited the new West Denver location of Atlas Physical Therapy to get some treatment on my calf. It's been a nagging injury for 4 weeks. Dr. Kate recommended doing some dry needling and cupping. 5 days later my calf is feeling 100% better. This is an excellent PT spot!

Fantastic experience: After breaking my left patella, I went to see Dr. Goforth to check my alignment and help ease some of my pain. She was fantastic!! She spoke me through the things she was doing (dry needling) and gave me feedback for my best recovery route. Her kinesthetic knowledge is profound.

Fantastic experience: I play football and Dr. Emma did a great job getting my body ready to play during this off-season. Everything has improved and I’m feeling healthy going into the season. The overall operation was smooth, clear, and easy.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Kate and her whole team are so wonderful!!! I came here for physical therapy to help heal an injury. They were so helpful, organized, efficient and empathetic. It’s such a caring and encouraging atmosphere with good vibes!

Fantastic experience: Atlas Physical Therapy has changed my life! I am so appreciative to Rhett, Meg, Kate and the rest of the team there, for getting me back to my normal everyday activities. Everyone is so friendly, patient and caring!

Fantastic experience: Body in Balance is excellent. The staff is very professional and knowledgable. Lara is fantastic. She helped immensely with my knee and back problems, and explained the benefits of each type of exercise, which motivates me to continue my exercises at home.

Fantastic experience: Atlas physical therapy has truly been a miracle for my rehabilitation journey. I worked with Doctor Emma Long over the course of seven months and I can't say enough good things about her and the rest of the staff at Atlas West Denver. I was suffering from injuries due to a car accident and my treatment included dry needling, cupping and massage therapy, as well as a daily stretching and mobility exercise routine recommended by Emma. At each appointment I found myself steadily improving. Emma was always patient and kind through my whole journey, providing me multiple different treatments and solutions for my pain depending on how I was doing on each particular day. Overall I don't have any negative things to say about Atlas Physical Therapy, they definitely know what they're doing and they do their jobs well with the focus always being on your recovery and how to get you back to 100% as quickly and safely as possible. I can highly recommend Doctor Emma Long, if you choose to start your road to recovery here you'll definitely be in good hands.

Fantastic experience: The team at Atlas is smart, attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Dr. Goforth and her team put together great exercise plans for me to use while I was working my way back to full range of motion due to a broken arm. She asked questions around any set backs I might have dealt with, made sure I understood what the purpose of the exercises was, and even checked my blood pressure when I asked. Working with Atlas was a great experience. I highly recommend reaching out to them if you're seeking physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Atlas Physical Therapy for almost a month now for my shoulder and they have been awesome to work with! From their dry needling to their exercises have helped me tremendously and everyone there is super nice!

Fantastic experience: Huge thank you to the Sunnyside Atlas PT Team for giving me the confidence and freedom to get back out on the ski slopes after dealing with a knee injury and weakness. Dr. Kate is amazing and has assembled an amazing team. Dr. Jasmine is patient and welcoming. I am able to schedule with both of them and love having these super knowledgeable PT’s that approach my care as a team. Rhett, Meg, and Sarah provide really knowledgeable coaching through the strengthening and training portion of my sessions. Having these trained and knowledgeable individuals focus on my form and progress has been the biggest confidence builder as I continue to implement my exercises at home and get back into the sports I love. This has been one of the best investments I have made for my health and happiness - I am so glad that I didn’t keep putting this off and encourage anyone who has chronic pain or injuries to get support from this clinic.

Fantastic experience: 500/10 recommend! I started going to Atlas for pelvic floor therapy at 30 weeks pregnant and cannot say enough about how thorough Kate, Meg, Rhett, and the entire Atlas team were throughout my care. Kate is attentive to your unique needs every visit and provides guidance for how to care for yourself at home in the interim. My delivery went super smooth and I attest my mind/body connection to the physical therapy. I’m now in their postpartum care and feel the same level of attention and intention every session. Thank you so much, Atlas!!

Fantastic experience: Kate and her team are awesome. They have created flexible appointments for my busy schedule. The new location is more spacious. I am always happy to see Kate and she is very knowledgeable. She also does dry needling and it is so valuable to me especially as a new tool in my toolbox. It has made a difference in my recovery. Head to Atlas if you need therapy. As the owner of All for Kids Home Health, a pediatric home care and therapy practice, I have much experience with kids and therapy. I am so grateful to have them on my healthcare team.

Fantastic experience: I'm so excited that Atlas PT and Kate have come to my neighborhood! Kate is top notch when it comes to women's care. She's a great listener & very thorough, while patiently answering all of my questions. I really appreciate her care & concern during my treatments. I recommend her to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best physical therapy I've received. I've had a variety of injuries in the past and never felt I got much out of PT; however, at Body in Balance I was so impressed by the plan and treatment that Maggie Burns provided. After having surgery on my ankle earlier this year, Maggie was an expert at what exercises I should focus on to get back to running. She was both kind and knew when to push me, but I never felt I was outside of my limits. I highly recommend this place to anyone in Denver.

Fantastic experience: I've been to Body In Balance for two separate injuries. The first one was a separated shoulder that had multiple cascading effects on my back. After seeing a chiropractor multiple times (no help/relief whatsoever), I walked into Body In Balance. Lara immediately took measurements and began working on identifying the true source/nature of my issues and fixing me. Lara did such a terrific job on my shoulder/back that when I tore my right ACL for the 3rd time and was slated for reconstruct/revision surgery, I contacted her again to help with my post-surgery rehabilitation. Lara is very knowledgeable, good at explaining the physiology and physics behind the various movements required for rehabilitation, and, best of all, personable and fun. I highly recommend Lara and Body In Balance.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place! I am a 67 year-old woman who saw Lara J. for almost a year following a ski accident in which I crushed my right humerus - one plate, nine screws, surgery, crushed bone removed. My surgeon's office apparently told her that they were really not sure how much movement I would recover. (She didn't tell me this for months.) While I am not 100%, my recovery has been extraordinary and is far closer to 100% than anyone thought would happen. While I'm not ready to arm-wrestle anyone, my life is back to normal, including skiing. I credit Lara. I cannot say enough good things about her and recommend her highly!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend enough, Body in Balance is the best in Denver!! I first went to Rick after I tore my ACL for a second time. I had to have two knee surgery's in one year and after the second surgery I was determined to find a Physical Therapist with a holistic approach. I have been to several PT clinics and Body In Balance is the absolute best. After my first surgery I went to a physical therapist and I felt like they were just checking boxes for progress and not really helping at all which likely contributed to my second ACL tear. Rick not only helped me get my strength and flexibility back after surgery, he also helped me address some of my other posture issues. Rick helped me really understand my body and some of my posture habits that were causing me a lot of pain. It has been 18 months since my 2nd ACL surgery and I recently went back to Body in Balance because I needed help addressing some posture habits that are causing me pain. I have been working with Jill and she has helped me so much, especially with not locking my knees. I cannot recommend them enough, everyone on the staff is super knowledgeable and care for their patients.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Body in Balance off and on for several years. Rick was able to figure out what was going on with my body and find actual solutions that worked - long term - for the postural and muscular problems within my body. I had seen several physical therapists prior to him with no results, and now would not go anywhere else. My health insurance recently changed and even though I now have to pay out of pocket, I will still go to Body and Balance. I had a sudden and severe problem this weekend - completely debilitating - and Rick was unavailable but I got in with Lara. She was equally amazing and I am so thrilled. She was able to assess the problem, find solutions, provide exercises, and maybe most importantly ease my incredibly anxious mind. As a very active person, my health and well-being is incredibly important to me and I trust Body in Balance implicitly.

Fantastic experience: I went to Body and Mind Physical Therapy after spraining my MCL hiking. My physical therapist was Jill and she was great! I went from being able to limp with a knee brace to having full movement back in 3 weeks and could start running again. Jill was very knowledgably about my injury and gave me multiple exercises to help me get full movement back. I found if I did my exercises at home like we discussed the next appoint I would get more movement back and soon was back to normal. The office environment is nice and they have great procedures with COVID, it’s easy to get to if you live around the area. I highly recommend Jill and Body Mind.

Fantastic experience: Lara is truly an incredible physical therapist. She is very knowledgeable and always has a whole-body solution that produces real and lasting results. She has brought me more relief than any PT I've had. I'm so grateful to her! Also, she is a very kind, caring, and compassionate person with a great sense of humor! I can't speak of her highly enough. Cissy and the other front desk associates are very professional and friendly, and are very prompt in their responses. I'm delighted to have found Body in Balance!

Fantastic experience: I have been to several PT clinics in Denver and this is my favorite. They are very safe. They communicate with your physician and recommend images to the MD as needed. They are so knowledgeable. They are careful about obtaining accurate information to create a treatment plan. Tess is great to work with and always adjusts my program to accommodate my progress.

Fantastic experience: I have been receiving treatment from Lara over the last 18+ months for various conditions both chronic and acute. Initially I was impressed by the thorough evaluation she did, which was unlike any I’ve had and I’ve been to a lot of PT. She’s very knowledgeable, thorough and caring. Her ability to identify the triggerpoints in my body and to work to lessen the pain that I was living in has been remarkable. I think she’s very intuitive as she works which is a great skill to have when doing any kind of bodywork. I would heartily recommend Lara if you need physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: After having a major knee injury, I was referred to Body in Balance. Lara was my PT and I had an amazing experience with her. Not only is she knowledgeable, but she also listened to all of my concerns (even non-knee related) and tailored my therapy appropriately. I looked forward to my appointments each time because of Lara’s friendly and caring attitude. She got my knee back to where I was before the injury and taught me many exercises that I’ll be able to use forever. The staff at Body in Balance was also great! I highly recommend this clinic whether you’re suffering from an injury or simply want to improve on any sports/races you participate in.

Fantastic experience: I hurt myself often and haven’t had a great experience with physical therapy until I started going to Lara Jerzycki at Body in Balance. Super present person who has a good bedside manner. I saw Lara for the first time when I dislocated my shoulder. She was empathetic and attentive to the pain I was having. I felt comfortable expressing exactly how I was feeling without being judged. I also felt confident in her direction from start until I fully recovered. My shoulder is back to 100% and have had zero issues. I most recently saw Lara after spraining my MCL and tearing my meniscus. This was my first knee injury and I was nervous and discouraged. I saw Lara 2x a week for 6 weeks and have already started playing basketball in week 8. She took the time before we even started therapy by asking if I was a skier. Knowing ski season was right around the corner, she wanted to make sure she was managing my expectations on hitting the slopes - small detail but an example of how thoughtful she is. She was also very firm in her suggestion on timeline on when I could return to certain activities. Hands down best PT I have had.

Fantastic experience: Body in Balance Physical Therapy did a great job helping me recover from foot surgery. They understood my goals were not just to heal but to get back to doing the things I enjoy. In just 3 months I went from pain, discomfort and swelling to an almost full recovery and level of activity. They taught me lots of helpful exercises and stretches which I will continue to use.
