Active Solutions Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: Antoinette was a great physical therapist. She did a good job of asking me questions and listening to my responses and issues, and then both providing therapy in the office and prescribing exercises I could do at home. She is also friendly and personable and a good person! Thank you for your assistance in getting me back to health.

Fantastic experience: For several months I had a severe pain in my legs that was not getting any better. A friend suggested I make an appointment with physical therapist Olaf Deroos of Active Solutions Physical Therapy. For seven weeks I had weekly appointments with Mr. Deroos. At first, he spent a great deal of time understanding my problem and answering my questions. I found him to be very knowledgeable and a good communicator. Each week he would teach me exercises that would strengthen the muscles around my spine and hopefully eliminate the pain. About the fifth week the pain significantly decreased, and I was able to get through the day without painkillers. Olaf is a great physical therapist with a friendly staff and pleasing facilities. I highly recommend Active Solutions.

Fantastic experience: I have seen Olaf for three different issues over the past nine years and he is a true professional! He carefully designed treatment plans that were incremental and increasingly more challenging as he guided me to full recoveries. His receptionists were quite friendly and super supportive, as well! I would definitely recommend Olaf and Active Solutions Physical Therapy without any reservation!

Fantastic experience: Olaf provided physical therapy for my knee. I had a hard time walking when I arrived for therapy. I am now riding my bike and walking pain free. I avoided knee surgery. I highly recommend Olaf.

Fantastic experience: Olaf treated my plantar fasciitis for several months - it had been active for 5 months - i am now 7 mos into it, and it is improved by 90 percent - and still improving. Whatever falls apart next, Olaf will be asked to treat it. He is a real resource.

Fantastic experience: Antoinette was so good at giving me personalized attention attuned to exactly what was happening with my shoulders. She also gave me lots of good and very specific exercises to do for my shoulder pain, exercises that were targeted just right for my rotator cuff problems.

Fantastic experience: My doctor at Spine West recommended this office and I am glad he did. Olaf is a gem. He really knows how to address your problem. He is patient and a good listener. Olaf knows exactly which areas need strengthening. He does massage when needed and assigns just the right amount of exercises. I have improved tremendously since working with him. It is also easy to schedule appointments there.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Antoinette who administered therapy to my injured arm. I was impressed with her knowledge and patience. She encouraged me to be patient with my recovery which was difficult but paid off. Thanks to her I was able to fully enjoy my sea kayaking trip. I plan to continue her exercise plan just to maintain my arm strength. Thanks Antoinette!

Fantastic experience: I hurt my back by lifting a heavy pot. It didn’t heal by itself for a year. My friend recommended Olaf for PT. My back got healed after 10 treatments. I really liked the dry needles method, very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Antionette treated me for carpal tunnel and was able to keep me from having surgery on one wrist. She gave me helpful exercises and did effective massage of the arm and wrist. She was very receptive to my questions and requests. I highly recommend her for PT.

Fantastic experience: Olaf Deroos is knowledgable, concerned, capable therapist. His office is accessible and efficient, appointments are easily available. He listened carefully and my condition improved rapidly, making the planned surgery unnecessary. I will certainly return with my next injury!

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience working with Olaf. My neck pain disappeared. I was able to resume all my normal activities comfortably and without pain. I would recommend Active Solutions for anyone who needs physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a physical therapist that could help with my arthritic hip. And I found Active Solutions. Although my arthritis will never disappear, Antoinette understood my condition. She gave me numerous strengthening exercises to cope. I have no hesitation in recommending Antoinette, she has a wealth of knowledge, experience and patience. She made following and repeating exercises at home very straight forward.

Fantastic experience: My stressed hamstring and the pain to that area, when hiking, is gone after seeing Antoinette. I can hike without pain or discomfort. Antoinette listened to my complaint and took time to understand my concern. She was very attentive and professional, but also personable and friendly. She suggested exercises and stretching to help. Logan, office admin, was great, very efficient. I would highly recommend Active Solutions Physical Therapy for one's physical therapy concerns.

Fantastic experience: OK so I don't know why Woody's name pops up, but I am Alice Dillinger & am the one who got treatment at Active Solutions PT. It was a wonderful experience and has helped me a lot. I learned exercises and stretches to help me with spinal stenosis, hip & sciatica issues. I worked with Antoinette who is one of the most attentive healthcare professionals I've ever had. She listens, is gentle and I would absolutely go back to them for any physical therapy needs. The whole staff, i.e. Logan & Carly are also wonderful. I definitely recommend them. Alice Dillinger

Fantastic experience: The care at Active Solutions Physical Therapy clearly exceeded my expectations! The providers and support staff were amazing. Thanks to the high quality of care I avoided surgery for a chronic condition. Antoinette listened to my concerns, was patient and offered exercises that were easy to follow and could be done at home. She also taught me a few Feldenkrais exercises. In addition, Antoinette's weekly hands-on therapy was most effective. I was treated holistically and now have tools at my disposal to continue improving at home. I highly recommend Active Solutions Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: I recently successfully completed treatment with PT Antoinette Vastenburg at Active Solutions Physical Therapy in Boulder. Treatment was individualized and effective, resolving my difficulties with posture, flexibility, mobility and pain and improving my overall functioning. Antoinette is an attentive, knowledgeable, compassionate and skilled practitioner. I benefitted from her additional expertise in Feldenkrais Method. I appreciated Logan's welcoming management of the office and his assistance with appointment scheduling and insurance. My overall experience was excellent and I strongly recommend Active Solutions to others searching for physical therapy services.

Fantastic experience: Hurt my knee in a skiing accident 2 years ago. It just hasn't been the same since when I try to go hiking or skiing it would end up hurting. Olaf Deroos helped me significantly learning specific workouts. Went to two sessions, and I told him I'm planning to go to Keystone this past weekend. He said this will be the test and if it feels good, then I don't need to come back. Keystone was incredible and my knee feels good as new! Highly recommend this family owned local business in Boulder. Couldn't have been better service!!

Fantastic experience: Olaf is an outstanding physical therapist. Over the last few years, I have seen him for the treatment of two different running injuries. Olaf successfully treated both conditions. He has excellent knowledge of the human anatomy and a very good understanding of the common causes of injuries. He provided clear instruction on exercises to both aid in recovery of these injuries, and provided exercises to strengthen and prevent future injuries. He is an excellent listener and a wonderful person. His good humor makes the experience fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend Olaf Deroos.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Active PT by my insurance and I was not disappointed. I was able to get a first appointment quickly. Logan at the front desk was wonderful. Olaf is great. I sprained my ankle, and I am back playing tennis 3- 4 times a week. I hope I stay safe but I would return.

Fantastic experience: I am very happy with the level of care I received working with Olaf at his family business that has been there at the same place for years. Olaf listens carefully and offers the full benefit and information from his long-time experience and deep knowledge of anatomy and techniques in a straightforward and refreshingly simple and unencumbered way. He works with you from where you are, and is friendly and sincere with everyone. I highly recommend working with him on even the most difficult problems to deal with. He finds the best and most practical solutions for any problem. His practice is a gem.

Fantastic experience: I have had therapy with Active Solutions for two different surgeries unrelated and 6 years apart and both times they got me back on my feet 100%. One was an ankle surgery and the other with a cervical fusion. I live 40 mins away but worth the drive and benefits, I won't go anywhere else. Antoinette is the be best. She is very knowledgeable. !!

Fantastic experience: Olaf and the team at Active Solutions took great care of me! I dislocated my shoulder and needed almost 4 months of physical therapy. Olaf is great at what he does, whether supporting you through different exercises, motivating you to keep going when it gets tough, or helping with the mental aspects of healing injuries. I hope I don't have another injury that requires PT, but if I do, I know that I will be taken care of by Active Solutions! Thanks, Olaf!

Fantastic experience: Antoinette has treated me on two separate occasions for a back injury and broken wrist, and has helped me regain complete range of motion and live pain-free. She is incredibly knowledgeable and sensitive. I will continue to come back and highly recommend her for all PT needs!

Fantastic experience: I have already recommended Antoinette Vastenburg at Active Solutions to friends. You will receive her undivided attention for 45 minutes, where she listens and feels and creates a healing path just for you. I have worked with Antoinette on two separate injuries over the years - knee and foot. I feel I am in good hands with someone who really knows her stuff! With me, she has helped to provide exercises, massage, taping and a some Feldenkrais expertise to give me the tools and awareness to stay strong and healthy. I have complete confidence in Antoinette and give her my unqualified recommendation.

Fantastic experience: Very good. Dr. Olaf Helped with my knee a lot. Did not have a major injury, but enough pain to seek help. Multiple visits weekly, and had my knee a lot stronger through the exercise’s recommended and acupuncture in certain areas. Just need to do the exercises and you should see improvement. Very satisfied with the results all around. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I was working on two separate injuries, my ankle and hip flexor. Olaf is awesome! He worked with me and gave me the tools and exercises I needed get my self stronger. I feel more confident skiing, hiking and enjoying the outdoors.

Fantastic experience: My experiences at Active Solutions have always been professional, personal (greeted by name), and beneficial. Olaf listens carefully and takes great care to proceed with the appropriate treatment for you. He is very knowledgeable and cares about each of his patients. I highly recommend Active Solutions.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Olaf Deroos, PT for over 20 years. I have reoccurring back issues which are partially due to scoliosis in my spine. I also have worked with Olaf after my rotator cuff surgery and regained total use of my arm. He is truly a miracle worker! Where other Physical Therapists tend to spend time introducing exercises, Olaf uses techniques such as massage and dry needling, introducing exercises at the end of our sessions. I always leave his office with a copy of these exercises which I can easily do at home. Marilyn Perlman

Fantastic experience: Olaf was amazing. Came in for some shoulder and arm issues and have got my arm back to being usable again. I've been to many many body work specialists and Active Solutions is top notch for sure. Came in on a recommendation and will continue that trend of recommending them to others. Thank you guys!!!

Fantastic experience: Olaf expertly diagnosed my lower back problem which after several therapeutic sessions led to a complete resolution of my pain issues. Each session provided such welcomed relief. Olaf provided a detailed list of clearly diagrammed exercises. He spent time training me how to do them properly. They helped immensely. Olaf listened attentively to my issues and responded with empathy. His concentration and focus made me feel particularly important in his analysis. His expertise in physiology made me confident in his treatment. The Active Solutions facility was spotlessly clean and followed all safety protocols. I highly recommend Olaf as an expert physical therapist. I give him and his clinic Five Stars! Sincerely, Jim Studholme

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with Olaf at Active Solutions PT after several significant injuries over the years, including rehab after tearing ACL/MCL/meniscus playing soccer. He has always provided excellent service and helped me return to the active lifestyle that I love as quickly (and safely) as possible. Everyone in my family, and many friends, have worked with Olaf, and they all report excellent results!

Fantastic experience: I have been pleased with the treatment I have received from Olaf. My initial visits were after shoulder surgery, and I have returned for knee and back issues. He is very knowledgeable, and the therapy and exercises he has given me have resolved my issues. I highly recommend Active Solutions and have always had a great experience with Olaf and the team at Active solutions.

Fantastic experience: After a bout with sciatica, I lost strength in my right leg resulting is a limp when walking as well as fatigue in my right leg. I was referred to Active Solutions, Olaf Deroos by Spine West and started Physical Therapy in early July. After several sessions the fatigue was eliminated and the limp improved and by mid September I am close to full recovery as a result of the Physical Therapy. I would definitely recommend Active Solutions and Olaf Deroos. He was very professional and knowledgeable in listening to my issues, diagnosing and applying the proper physical therapy and recommending an exercise routine to provide a lasting resolution to my leg issue. I am definitely a satisfied customer.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Antoinette. She has helped me at various times recover from a broken arm, plantar fasciitis, hip and knee pain in walking. I am almost completely pain-free now. I particularly appreciate Antoinette because she looks at the whole person. She is friendly, professional, and explains what she is doing and what she is asking me to do. My mother also sees Antoinette when she visits form out of state. Mom has chronic shoulder pain. She always says she feels better after a session with Antoinette. I have always found the office help at Active Solutions to be friendly, helpful, and efficient.

Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with the effective treatment Olaf provided to help me with a painful, arthritic knee. He listened to me about the issues I had and suggested additional actions I could take along with his treatments that would help. His goal was to help me resolve my issues enough to prevent the need for a knee replacement. We discussed stem cell therapy and he encouraged me to look into it which I did. I did have the treatment and he followed the therapy the clinic ordered for PT and then added some of his that were of tremendous benefit. I just finished my treatements with him today and look forward to continue following his regime to preserve the progress we made. This help resulted in me not seeking a knee replacement now. I can function well without it. I will come back to Olaf and Active Solutions for any PT I need in the future.

Fantastic experience: I found Dr. Olaf Deroos to be the perfect combination of of knowledgeable, emotionally attune, and personable. He was thorough but did a great job keeping me involved in the discussion so I felt like I understood what he was doing and why. This involvement in my own diagnosis helps so much to feel empowered and motivated to do at-home PT and my overall healing felt super efficient. I would recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: After having seen multiple physical therapists over the past decade, Olaf is the first one who helped me truly understand what was the cause of my lower back pain and how to improve it. Olaf also encouraged healing through physical activity rather than avoiding exercise. Active Solutions Physical Therapy has friendly staff, clean facilities and knowledgeable therapists who take the time to listen and care for your well-being.

Fantastic experience: I recently finished my second therapy regimen with Olaf at Active Solutions Physical Therapy. Both of my stints at Active Solutions were to help my lower lumbar spine, the most recent being after corrective surgery. He is a personable, professional therapist who structured a therapy regimen around my needs which got the desired results while also taking care that anything we worked on didn't cause any more damage to a very damaged and delicate part of my body. My visits to his practice were always one on one, and he always took the appropriate time to listen to any concerns I may have had prior to starting the session. I can sit, walk, and do many physical activities after my treatment that I was incapable of doing beforehand. If you're looking for a physical therapist, I highly recommend Olaf and Active Solutions Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Olaf for over a year now, on and off for a couple of different injuries. I've worked with him for some shoulder and ankle rehab, and after completing his programs, I have gotten both back to 100%. I've always been confident in the protocol and felt that the recovery times were very quick. Olaf is very knowledgeable, explains things well, and a really cool guy to get to know during the process. I would HIGHLY recommend seeing Olaf for any PT needs you have! He'll get your body back into prime form!

Fantastic experience: My experience with Active Solutions PT was nothing but perfect. Doctor Olaf Deroos was kind, friendly and professional. He gave me exercises to do at home as well at the office. He explained everything very clear to me. My appts were easy to schedule and I never waited more than 5 mins when I arrived. The receptionists' were always very nice and greeted me by my name. I had the best experience, would recommend and am healed! Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Olaf Deroos at Active Solutions provided excellent care. He helped me to resolve acute back pain very effectively. His ability to see me right away combined with his professionalism, high level of knowledge and listening skills lead me to allocate five stars without reservation.

Fantastic experience: This is the best PT experience. Olaf really listens and gives you a full hour of his time as well as a full explanation of what he's doing and what your injury is all about. I have had a couple other injuries in the past and the first person I called was Olaf. He was recommended to me by someone whose opinion I greatly trust and it has worked out very well every time I've seen him. His emphasis is on getting you back to what you love to do and to stay as physically active as your injury will allow.

Fantastic experience: Flexible appointments. They were eager to set appointments that worked with my schedule. Also, for me and my injury, appointments were progressively less frequent: weekly at first, but then reduced to every other week, and finally monthly. I appreciated that none of the appointments were unnecessary. The appointments were free from distractions and interruptions. Comprehensive care. During the initial evaluation, Olaf identified weakness from a much older shoulder injury on the same limb as my injured elbow. He prescribed a course of action to fix both injuries. The daily exercises got me on the path towards recovery. Working with Olaf provided peace of mind that, with minor modifications, I wasn't going to make things worse with my normal weekly activities. I highly recommend working with Olaf. He was excellent.

Fantastic experience: I very highly recommend Olaf. I saw a different physical therapist for a rotator cuff injury for 6 months with minimal results. Then I transferred to Olaf, and in 6 weeks he had me back to all my prior activities and pain free. I wish I had gone to him earlier!
