Altitude Physical Therapy - Boulder

Fantastic experience: The team there was incredible, everyone is super helpful and knowledgeable. My recovery time was very fast, which I was pleased with, and nothing felt rushed.

Fantastic experience: I work with Caitlin at Altitude. I've had lots of pain for over 2 months. In less than 2 weeks, that pain has subsided soooo much. Caitlin listens and then applies her extensive knowledge of the human body so that your body leaves happier, more nimble, stronger. I was about to give up hope. Nope! Found Altitude and Caitlin. Feeling good these days! The front staff are also wonderful! Shout out to Ambrosia, Gabbie, Maddie--the whole team. What a compassionate, well-run, on-time, smart and fun place to make yourself feel better. I've been to 3 highly respected PTs in the Boulder area. For my money and time, Altitude is the most effective and most caring.

Fantastic experience: I’m just starting with them but so far my experience has been very positive.

Fantastic experience: I've been to many PTs over the years and Altitude PT is definitely one of the best. The PTs are very knowledgeable, and the office staff is great! To call and actually get to talk to a live person without waiting on hold is also a HUGE bonus too! PT Caitlin's ability to figure out how to help improve pain levels and function is amazing as is her gift in dry needling. I would highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Travis has been outstanding helping me recover from knee replacement. Cant say enough. All of Altitude has been great to work it.

Fantastic experience: Caitlin is very knowledgeable and able to explain things at just the level I like. She listens to my concerns and knows exactly what I am feeling. She is very efficient in her use of time during my session. I think she has helped my foot and my back a lot.

Fantastic experience: After only two sessions I am enjoying significant improvement. These people are very highly competent and skilled! I highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with my PT at Altitude. Travis is an excellent therapist. He listens to your concerns and helps you with exercises and care so you're successful at rehabilitating from your injury. I recommend him to anyone needing therapy.

Fantastic experience: Easy to schedule and get in, and Bridget was fantastic! Knew exactly where to treat, and I'm on the mend after 2 treatments! I'll definitely go back for follow-up and other treatment if needed. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Travis Neuhaus as a Physical Therapist. He is very attentive, compassionate, knowledgeable and professional. Easy to talk with about any of my concerns. A joy to work with.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is very friendly and helpful. PT's work together well to coordinate care and target issues. They are very thorough and thoughtful about needs.

Fantastic experience: Altitude Physical Therapy has been great in helping me remain active through 2 knee replacements, getting me back to the sports I love, both skate skiing and running. Thank you!

Positive experience: Physical therapists are excellent. However my healthcare provider ordered PT 3 times per week but scheduling was so tight at Altitude that I was only able to get one appointment per week for the past 4 weeks. Then I am admonished for not being totally compliant in my home exercise program. The whole point of my getting physical therapy 3 times a week was to obtain active assistance in my recovery. If the physical therapy facility is unable to provide the frequency of services ordered, then I should have been notified by the physical therapist so I could find a PT provider that would be able to do so. I don't need a Physical therapist to give me give me a home exercise program and send me on my way.

Fantastic experience: Travis is a knowledgable physical therapist who can clearly diagnose the problem and work on it. He has a very nice and friendly personality and I enjoy working with him. He is very professional.

Fantastic experience: Having sustained injuries after a car accident I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to do the activities and workouts I so rely on. The team at Altitude Physical therapy, and my hero Travis have helped me regain movement and start to build my strength again. I highly recommend this team.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Altitude Physical Therapy in Boulder enough! Brian's expertise in handling my back pain was remarkable. His tailored treatment plan not only alleviated my discomfort, but also got me back to rock climbing in top-notch form. If you're in need of effective physical therapy, look no further. Altitude and Brian are the way to go! Five stars!

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Caitlin at Altitude Physical Therapy for three different conditions over the past 7 years. In each case, she's been amazing! She knows her anatomy so well. She quickly zeroes in to diagnose the problem, and knows exactly what to do to heal and bring me back to full function. She clearly demonstrates exercises to continue at home, is mindful of what might cause too much discomfort to strike just the right balance, seems to truly care about my progress and is a pleasure to chat with during sessions. I’ve seen several PTs in the past and can confidently say Caitlin is the best! The front office staff are great too.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Altitude Physical Therapy for years. Bob Cranny and his staff have been great. Bob is very professional yet very caring. I was first introduced to him by a friend for back issues several years ago and he has been my go to person ever since. If he isn’t available, I ask for Caitlin. She is great too.

Fantastic experience: Caitlin has been very helpful with my rehab from my partial knee replacement. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring and friendly. I am anticipating a full recovery soon.

Fantastic experience: Altitude PT is the best in the Boulder-Denver area. The PT team at Altitude have successfully rehabbed my calf muscle after just three sessions. I'm ready to hit the slopes again. Thanks Altitude.

Fantastic experience: Altitude is a great place to go for quality PT. The staff is friendly, professional and super competent. I went into the clinic the first day limping from a torn calf muscle. I saw Brian Bremmer and walked out fairly normally 30 minutes later. My injury continues to improve very quickly, as well as my sprits!

Fantastic experience: Travis did a great job explaining the work he was performing on my recent full knee revision. He explained the difference for recovery between the knee replacement that was done 11 years ago and the revision. Travis was very sensitive to the limits of recent surgery and how his treatments progress as the revision begins to heal. I would highly recommend Travis Wesley Crist Retired health and physical education teacher and certified Rolfer

Fantastic experience: Altitude has the *best* PTs in Boulder area. Bob helped my husband through knee replacements as well is helping us through a serious hip/leg trauma at moment. Bob Cranny is the best PT in our area and if you are a patient who is motivated, Bob will help in all areas as will the rest of his highly trained staff. Altitude PT is outstanding while Bob Cranny is most knowledgeable and trusted by numerous surgeons in our area!

Fantastic experience: Travis is very knowledgeable in the work he is doing on my foot and ankle and the exercises he has given me are helping to restore the mobility to that foot. He is easy-going and enjoys conversation which makes the sessions fly by. I have also noticed a general friendly and helpful attitude among all the staff I have met there. I highly recommend this Altitude PT group in Boulder.

Fantastic experience: If you have back issues, consider Bob Cranny and Altitude. I had sciatica and had back surgery 7 years ago. It was a miserable 6 mos recovery. Then two years later the pain issue returned. I was advised another surgery necessary. I went to Cranny/Altitude and within 2 mos I was great without another surgery. Three years later it returns again and I am working with Altitude again to avoid surgery. Avoid surgery, try PT with someone who knows what they are doing.

Fantastic experience: Altitude Physical Therapy is a wonderful combination of highly skilled practitioners and down to earth friendly people. It feels good to be in such a relaxed yet professional space. Most recently I have seen Caitlyn who has helped my back on the road to total structural health!

Fantastic experience: I am writing this review many years later because I was at the gym today and was reminded of the many things I learned at Altitude Physical Therapy while getting treatment for patellar tendinitis. I worked with Caitlin Barritt, and she was an absolute joy to work with. She was super easygoing and sociable, and taught me many tricks to strengthen my knees, and also sent me off with a good squat form — something I’m very glad I learned and will apply for the rest of my life. This place is the bee’s knees!

Fantastic experience: I was assigned to Brian for my shoulder problems. He is very knowledgeable and answers all my questions about what muscles are related to the pain and the mobility restrictions I am experiencing. I am only in the 2nd week of therapy, and I am already experiencing quite an improvement. Brian is patient and gentle and the exercises he is giving me are very doable and effective. He is also guiding me on how to modify them to my level when I am hurting too much. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. The front desk staff is also very polite. I highly recommend this place and especially Brian.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Brian at Altitude Physical Therapy for an acutely painful hip. Brian is a knowledgeable and skilled therapist and was able to quickly identify and effectively treat my pain. He gave me home exercises and along with his skill at soft tissue work and dry needling I have been pain free for months now. As a PT myself, I give him my highest recommendation!

Fantastic experience: Great folks here! I have had problems in the past of doctors dismissing my pain as aging or a natural product of the amount of miles that I run (training for trail ultras) and that has been really discouraging so I stopped seeking care for a while. I tried this place out and I'm very glad that I did! They were supportive and solution-oriented in working with me to achieve my demanding physical goals. It's the first place I've been to where they didn't dismiss my symptoms or tell me my goals were too lofty to treat pain. I recommend this place to anyone seeking long-term, root-cause fixes for athletic performance and general muscular function. After a decade of low back pain they helped me fix it and I'm feeling better than ever with more training! Thanks to Dr. Barritt as well! Check them out!

Fantastic experience: All the employees at Altitude are happy and helpful. You can tell how much they care about your healing and well being. I have worked with Eric twice now, and will recommend him to anyone in search of a great physical therapist.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Bridget End regarding hip pain, and she has been fantastic! She is knowledgeable, thorough, precise, and easy to get along with. It is too early to tell if the physical therapy will keep me from surgery, but I have all the confidence in Bridget's skills and ability to give me the best shot.

Fantastic experience: Bob has great experience as a physical therapist but what makes him stand out is his attitude and approach to helping his clients. I’ve worked with Bob after both hip and knee replacement, several years apart, and he has been instrumental in my recoveries.

Fantastic experience: Love all the staff at Altitude! I was referred there after I had ankle surgery, and could not be more pleased. No matter what condition or activity level you are at, they know how to get you back in tip top shape. Bridget is an amazing PT and works her butt off to ensure you get to where you need to be in your recovery track. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Brian at Altitude Physical Therapy Boulder is amazing! He gives me confidence that my achilles will be healed. I faithfully do my stretches. Brian works on my calf muscle and really helps the pain. He is always on time and efficient with appointment time.

Fantastic experience: Aaron Knightly at Altitude Physical Therapy helped me recover fully from two different serious overuse injuries that threatened my career and livelihood. Where other therapists and therapies failed, Aaron was able to diagnose and address my issues so that in both cases I recovered steadily, week by week. Afterward he created a fitness maintenance routine with me to prevent such injuries before they happen, and following it I have remained 100% healthy and able to pursue all of my activities for the last two years. Aaron is insightful and skilled and I can't recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for over a year and it’s amazing! I am a 55-year-old woman who used to be an elite gymnast in my adolescence so I have some very old injuries that are more prominent these days. Caitlin is hands-down the best physical therapist I have ever seen in my entire life and I’ve seen a few believe me. She is phenomenal! Her intuition about what you need is uncanny and her skill set is above the rest. If I have my choice, I’ll be seeing Kaitlin Welland to my golden years. My back has been a problem for almost 30 years and for the first time I feel like I might be stabilized and I attribute a lot of it to her skill set, knowledge and choice of therapy. Everybody should see Caitlin!

Fantastic experience: Bridget End is fantastic ! I had my left hip replaced on October 26 ,2020. I appeared in front of Bridget a week later. We got to work. She knows exactly what she's doing. Encouraging and mission focused. She pushes you by introducing new drills each session. She'll send you home after each session with easy-to-understand marching orders. The rest is up to you. You follow her instructions and your progress will be measured by leaps and bounds, not inches . I write this December 9,2020. Basically 6 weeks after my surgery. My surgeon cleared me to go back to normal activity. I jumped on one of my horses and rode around for 30 minutes. No discomfort whatsoever. I couldn't believe it! Thank you Bridget!!

Fantastic experience: I saw Eric for persistent back pain that was not improving with multiple home interventions. He took a thorough history, did a comprehensive exam, reassured me that my symptoms sounded like muscle spasms, and then offered dry needling & home exercises. While I was nervous, it was quick, easy and apparently effective, because 36 hours later, my pain was relieved for the first time in 6 weeks. I appreciated Eric's professionalism, patience and openness to create a treatment plan that I was comfortable with. The front desk staff is highly efficient, helpful and professional as well. I highly recommend both Eric and Altitude Physical Therapy!

Fantastic experience: I'm grateful to have been recommended Altitude Physical Therapy by a friend several months ago. Altitude's offices are conveniently located in central Boulder, and communicating with office staff is easy. Their operations always appear to be running smoothly. Though, the primary reason I'm leaving a 5-star review is because of the 1-on-1 work I'm doing with Physical Therapist, Eric Hanyak. I've worked with a couple other therapists in the past and Eric's physiological knowledge is impressive to say the least. He explains the healing work that we're doing on a level that I can comprehend, which leads to a more effective recovery. He has an excellent attitude. As far as I can tell, Eric is an exemplary Physical Therapist. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Rehabs for three joint replacements and therapy for one stubbornly painful sciatic nerve – all beautifully successful! I would very, very highly recommend Altitude Physical Therapy for anyone who needs PT to get back to living actively! They worked their professional magic, and I did my homework. Now I move as well as before – pain free!

Fantastic experience: LOVE this PT clinic. I had worked with another PT clinic for about 8 months a year ago, to attempt to resolve long standing low back pain that came out of nowhere. I had zero improvement, or clarity about what was causing it despite weekly hour long sessions. The PT often spent the session talking about her personal life so I never felt really like the work was focused or very professional. And as a massage therapist of 20 years, and my first time utilizing PT, I was incredibly disappointed and felt rather hopeless at the end of it all. Luckily my doctor gave me a new referral to Altitude PT this past summer when the pain was no better and ever getting worse at times. I could not sleep without pain, getting up in the morning left me almost completely unable to move the pain was so severe and then an impact accident to my hip worsened all of this. I went to Altitude and worked with Eric Hanyack and he was GREAT! He really listened to my long story of the manifestations of this pain, was curious about and trusted my experience of it as a client, cared about what had made it better what made it worse, didn't make me feel stupid for freaking out about X-ray results that showed disc degeneration (and as a result me thinking chronic pain was my new life sentence) and offered me science based feedback to help soothe the fears that brought with it. After considering all of that, he zoned in with laser like clarity about what might be going on in my body. Within 2 short sessions with him, focusing on core strength, My pain went from an 8/9 everyday to a 1/2 and it stayed at a 1/2 for weeks and then I started having days that were 0 pain. He modified my treatment plan every visit and really respected my feedback as a client as to what was working or not, to keep me moving toward the best outcomes and I have been pretty much pain free since. He was incredibly professional while also being friendly, personable and easy to talk to and learn from. And he kept our sessions on track and efficient every time. Which after my previous experience, I greatly appreciated. I can't recommend Eric or this clinic enough. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I've mostly seen Caitlin but also had a few sessions with Eric and I think highly of them both, they did a great job in helping me get my mobility back after a foot injury. They were kind and pleasant to talk to but also effective in the exercises provided and the physical treatments they did. I really felt like they were invested in my recovery and cared about how I was doing. The front desk staff were really kind as well and went above and beyond a few times for me. Unfortunately, I'll be having surgery soon (for no fault of theirs) and will be needing another round of physical therapy. I am planning to rehab again with the PTs at Altitude because the first experience with them was so positive.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Aaron for almost a over a year and they have been absolutely incredible. They have seen me through 4 surgeries and have kept me motivated, and most importantly accelerated my recovery through all of it. I can tell Aaron genuinely loves being a physical therapist. There are days I come in and he's tremendously excited to try something he thought of over the past week to help me recover faster. His passion and skill makes him an amazing physical therapist, and if I had a friend or family member who needed PT I simply would not allow them to see anyone else because he is the best.

Fantastic experience: Aaron K. at the Boulder clinic is amazing. He is a super warm spirit with a passion for helping people. He loves a difficult challange. I felt very hesitant to try PT again after bad experiences elsewhere, but he's convinced me that it is worth it. Ontop of being incredibly talented, he's a lovely person, and I enjoy seeing him every week for therapy. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Bob Cranny was recommended to me by a friend for treatment related to a fractured shoulder. I had been in treatment with two other physical therapists following the injury, but was experiencing continued pain and limited mobility 5 months after the accident. In the very first session with Bob, my shoulder showed dramatic improvement in mobility and relieved most of the pain. Bob is an amazing healer and he and the other staff members I had contact with are very welcoming and professional. I highly recommend Altitude Physical Therapy and will certainly return to the clinic in the future if I need physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: Awesome therapists! Aaron is great and got my rotator cuff working again. Professional, very knowledgeable and extremely personable, as they all are. Eric and Caitlin are very good too. I really like them all and can't say enough about their professional work! Awesome!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience at Altitude. Bob is my therapist and happens to be the owner. Whole team has been top notch walking me through the process, insurance, scheduling, etc...I came to Altitude from full ACL replacement and other misc in the knee. I am very active person, Bob knew my goals to get to 100% and feels like a partnership to get there. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: When one orthopedic practice recommended Bob Cranny as the ONLY PT In Boulder to see after my knee surgery, I thought maybe they had not done enough research. However, I can’t imagine there is anyone better. I am confident of the treatment I receive and find all recommendations spot-on in promoting proper recovery. Bob himself is warm, friendly, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. He pushes me just enough to make steady and quick progress. The scheduling staff and other therapists I’ve met are excellent. They all accommodate my needs quickly and efficiently. Those I have met are all friendly and welcoming. Given the myriad choices for physical therapy in Boulder, I’m glad I landed in the right spot.

Fantastic experience: Caitlin treated me for an injured shoulder both before and after surgery. Her warm friendliness and cool competence are a pleasure to experience. Although my shoulder proved quite difficult to treat Caitlin kept at it until it finally gave in and stopped hurting me. She was creative with her treatments in the office, providing a wide range of options, and would always send me home with an updated set of exercises to work on. With patience and discipline she has helped me swim again and I couldn't be happier.

Fantastic experience: Remember, if it's physical, it's therapy, until it isn't, lol. In all seriousness, I am unaware of any other practice of PT that allows one the undivided attention of a Physical Therapist one on one for 30 minutes in this day and age of over managed health care - if you take my meaning. Similarly, this one really enjoys the conversations of the patients at every location I've been Thier reception staff Stephanie, Kim, Anne, Mandy & Tony are also multi-task masters. And, they broke the mold When they made Bob. And, every other PT I've been fortunate enough to see: Ryan, sadly, and happily one imagines, now in Seattle; Sarah in Longmont, and, Dr. Sarah Rottller of Lafayette. Ultrasound, Kinesthetic taping, Dry electrode needling, Ergometers, Hydroculator for heat packs, Ice packs, and, I know of know better place to be one on one with a PT dedicated to you living at your optimum wellness poteintal...
