I highly recommend the doctors and staff at The Physio Revolution.I had been dealing with knee problems for several years and they offered a long term solution that is more promising than injections or pain medications.My knees and joints continue to improve with each session.Dr. Regan does a wonderful job at adjusting my exercises each week so my range of motion continues to improve.Also, the attitude at The Physio Revolution is extremely positive - Dr. Regan and Lauren have been upbeat and cheerful at every visit

The Physio Revolution made a huge difference in my recovery. I was referred to Physio Revolution by a friend. She had only the best things to say about Brooke and her team of Doctors at The Physio Revolution. I had a nasty fall that left me with a broken back. I lost half of T10 and damaged T9 as well. My recovery was slow at first with other PT agencies but once I signed up with Physio Revolution my healing improved very quickly. If you suffer from back, joint pain, taking too many pain killers etc. They can help and they will bring healing to you via the natural healing of the body through massage, PT sessions and supporting the body’s ability to heal and bring you to a drug free conclusion. They not only treat the issues but also educate you in how to move and using proper form in the home PT exercises process. They are steadfast in following all the Covid social distancing and sanitation methods, separating appointments to assist in a very private and safe experience.If you are looking for assistance and guidance in your healing, I recommend you contact them and make an appointment for an evaluation and they will create a custom plan for you. I highly recommend them.Mark E. Connolly

I have had numerous attempts at lessening my sciatica and piriformis pain. From dry needling to actual lumbar back surgery. I was just about ready to give up when I saw physio revolution on Facebook. So I went in to see them for a consult. Very friendly staff and excited to see and greet their clients! They showed me things to do that were foreign to every other instruction I had been given in the past. After 3 sessions and doing the moves at home I started to see some improvement! Now it is 6 visits later and I can say that I’m totally amazed! My pain is 90% gone and I’m doing things I hadn’t been able to do for 5 years! Thanks to Regan and all of the staff!!!!!!!

This the first place that has truly helped my body change and improve! They have helped me find the root of my problem and not just say to work on my leg muscles. They are kind and personal in each and every interaction. I have done many things to try to get my body and knees better. THIS is working and I do believe it will be for good because I have learned so much and my body has too! If you have been struggling with knee or back issues, or any other body issues, please give them a call. They will meet with you and be honest about your needs to help you!

I started working with the Physio Revolution team 4 weeks ago after experiencing excruciating back spasms. In four weeks my pain is 95% gone I am strengthening all of the muscles that are related to my specific issue, and I feel so great. No painkillers, no muscle relaxers, to mask my pain. Dr. Reagan is figuring out the root cause of my pain and treating me from the inside out, so far so good I am pain-free and getting stronger every day. Thank you Dr. Reagan you are changing my life!

Brooke, Annie and Bella were the best people to get to work with! When I had knee problems and went to them for help, they gave me the best treatment possible and were friendly, professional, encouraging and positively informative. They were on the same page as I am about wanting to find a way to heal my body through work and fitness instead of medicine or surgeries. Though I no longer live near them, so I do not see them anymore, I continue to use the exercises and information they gave me as a way to care for my knees, my body and my fitness.

The team at The Physio Revolution are amazing! They are so knowledgeable and caring and want pain free patients as much as the patient wants to be pain free. They not only cater to you as an individual with unique strengths and weaknesses, but they are there to cheer you on emotionally as well as physically!! Pain is a lot of emotional healing as well and Dr.Trevor and Dr. Brooke know exactly what that means to a patient. They don’t just hand you a drawing of exercises to do and send you on your way. They talk through the struggles with you and then work with you physically until you feel like a different person than who entered through the door!The greetings you receive when you first call and come to your first appointment from Annie and Lauren are so comforting and genuine.The entire experience at The Physio Revolution has been nothing but encouraging and successful in the healing process. Pain meds and surgery are not an option anymore!

I recently moved from the East coast to Denver and was looking for another PT to continue my post ACL surgery recovery. I sent The Physio Revolution an inquiry email and had an immediate response from Annie! She was so welcoming and gave a helpful review of their process for working with potential patients. I really loved that the first step was to meet the team to make sure it was going to be a fit. Dr. Trevor is awesome- I am so happy with the plan we laid out for continuing my PT. He made a point of reaching out to my previous PT to see what plan they had so we could continue it. I also love the energy of the staff every time I come in- Annie and Lauren are always energetic and welcoming. I'm very grateful to have the support of this staff. Even through the *many* frustrations I have had with recovery, they always make me feel so much better about what I've accomplished and keep me on track.

I’ve had a lot of PT for various injuries over the years. Unfortunately, I often hit a wall with no discernible improvement. The practitioners at PhysioRevolution have a very different approach which seems much more individualized and responsive to the inevitable changes that happen during the process. They are professional, caring and thorough. They’ll be there for you to troubleshoot and to be your cheerleader. Worth the trip for me even at an hour away.

I am so grateful for this practice. I was diagnosed with a severe rotator cuff tear and was scheduled for surgery. I decided to seek other alternatives. I am SO glad I did!! Trevor is so supportive and encouraging. I have learned so much. Through the exercises I was able to become pain free and am back to doing all the activities I enjoyed before my injury. My experience with Physio Revolution has truly been life changing. I am forever grateful for this great group of people.

Dr. Brooke, a talented and intuitive professional, is also a wonderful human being. I’ve seen physical therapists and/or chiropractors since middle school as an athlete at an early age and someone who taught himself how to workout, sometimes improperly, and typically pretty intensely. Dr. Brooke has helped me live pain free from lower back issues that went on for many years, at times, making basic movement a problem. A number of previous experts I worked with failed, for years, to help me make lasting changes. If you need help, you found it here.

I cannot express the amount of gratitude and thankfulness I have for Brooke and Annie. These two helped rehab me into a lean, mean, fighting machine. Their constantly warm and smiling faces brightened up my mornings, and their generosity was abundant. The amount of care this group puts into their patients is paramount. But, they need better coffee. (Inside joke, who goes to physical therapy to drink coffee anyway...) love this group!

After 6+ months of shoulder pain (rotator cuff tear) that was impacting my sleep causing me to rely on ibuprofen, six sessions at The Physio Revolution resulted in me being pain free. Additionally, TPR staff gave me video instructions for all PT exercises so I could continue healing and maintenance exercises on my own.

Brooke is such an asset to this community! Her knowledge, skills and way of creating such beautiful space and healing is unparalleled! I couldn't recommend her more highly. She is my GO-TO person for any of the pain mitigation or healing I need!

After spending 5+ years and upwards of $10,000 on doctors bills, massage, trainers, new bedding, etc etc, I was lucky enough to find Dr. Brooke at the Physio Revolution. Brooke took my back pain seriously and had targeted strategies to not just give me relief, but give me the skills to prevent future pain and injury. Brooke worked tirelessly to address my pain and mobility and got me to a place that I am now pain free! Aside from their outstanding skill and knowledge, Brooke and her team are professional, kind, and passionate about this work. Look no further for an improved quality of life in the Denver area!

I first came to Physio Revolution because of an intermittent lower back issue that I’ve had for years and which no one had ever been able to really diagnose or help with. Brooke was amazing and taught me things I could do to help alleviate the pain. She also fed my inner science geek by going through anatomy diagrams to help me visualize what was going on with my back. I then started working out with Trevor to try and retrain and strengthen my lower body to help with my crunchy unhappy knees. He has even had me jogging around around the training room, which is something I thought would never happen! And when I suffered a broken arm in September In a cycling accident, Trevor was there every step of the way to help the healing process and to ensure that I regained complete mobility and range of motion in my left elbow. I can’t say enough good things about Trevor - and Brooke and Annie and Bella!

Brooke, Annie, and Trevor are the best! There’s no place like The Physio Revolution. You will always be greeted with an exceptionally warm smile and an ear of someone who truly cares about you. All their treatment is top notch, and they will have you doing things you thought you’d never be able to do again. Highly recommended them!

I chose the Physio Revolution to rehab my torn meniscus because of the attention and feedback I received from my first phone call inquiring about their work. Trevor and the team are seriously the best! They've seen me the same day I called concerned after taking a spill over the weekend four weeks into my recovery. They always send me a detailed plan with an in-depth video of the exercises. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a personalized approach to physical therapy, hoping to heal safely and quickly. I am grateful for their expertise and support during my recovery.

After multiple car accidents and some sports injuries I was in need of great care to get back to feeling normal. I worked with many physical therapists and massage therapists but nothing seemed to help me or give me the focus and recovery I needed. Then I found The Physio Revolution and started working with Trevor. I am doing so much better and can't believe some of the things I needed to be working on had never been told to me before. The Physio Revolution looks at the whole body and how everything is working together--unlike other PT's I have worked with before. If you are looking to get back to what you love, The Physio Revolution is the place to go. You won't be disappointed. Big thank you to the whole team!

I have nothing but good things to say about the physio revolution team. They have truly changed my life. When you go to your apt your are greeted with the beautiful smile of Annie. She warms your heart, makes you feel at home and cares about you and what’s going on in your life. I see Brooke for my shoulder that had been bothering me for months. When you think you will never heal, stepping into PT with Brooke is like magic. She listens, is extremely knowledgeable about what is happening and truly cares about your well being. Anything and everything is possible with her. My healing was like a roller coaster as that’s how it goes, but she was always confident in the process and put me at ease when I would worry. She has a calming nature about her that I just love. I saw Trevor once when I couldn’t see Brooke and he was wonderful too! I finally feel like i can Conquer the world again. Thank you Brooke and Annie for being the wonderful people you are. You all have such beautiful souls and I am so lucky to have met you. Thanks again for improving my life and I am truly thankful for Physio Revolution! You will never find a better PT company than this!

TPR team is amazing. I had been struggling with worsening hip pain & in less than 3 weeks of therapy & exercises tailored for me I am now 95% pain free & able to sleep thru the night. I look forward to continuing on this path.The individualized attention from Annie, Brooke, & Trevor made all the difference. They really care about helping their clients feel better & achieving their goals. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thanks😊

I was experiencing pain whenever I had to sit for more than a few minutes. It was definitely negatively impacting my quality of life as sitting is involved in everything from driving to dining! Brooke was wonderful and gave me ways to continue to avoid recurrences once she/we had eased the conditions causing the pain. The entire experience, including just the pleasantness of being around everyone in the office, was wonderfully unforgettable!

I was struggling with back pain for about 6 months before finding the team at the physio revolution. I’m an avid runner and was completely distraught at the fact that my pain was keeping me from doing what I love. I talked to a few other health professionals but nothing like the team here. They took the time to actually listen to my story and tell me what they felt was really going on. They told me the steps it would take to get there and every step of the way guided me to getting back into running. I couldn’t be more grateful to have these people in my life. They have turned something that usually is intimidating into a place I look forward to going to each and every time. Thank you to the team at the Physio Revolution for changing my life!

I have seen Brooke on several occasions and have been impressed by her knowledge, compassion, and willingness to go ten steps further than anyone out there. She makes sure that I know what is expected of me to reach my goals. Thanks, Brooke, for caring so much!

I have had shoulder issues for a long time with the intensity of the pain just recently going to 11. I've been to other therapists and they did a fine job making the pain go away temporarily, but it always came back. I was skeptical about go to see Brooke, I mean what could she do that the others couldn't? FIX ME! That's what she can do!!! She took the time to get to the root of the problem and helped me build from the bottom up while getting rid of some bad habits I formed (double tanks for that).Now, with that being said, you have to put in the work. You do what she recommends on a regular basis and you stick with it, you will see results. My pain level is a 1. A ONE!! I never thought I'd get here and would have to live with the pain my whole life. But I don't. She is now working on a hip issue I have (not as bad as the shoulder) and I am now 1000% confident that it will be pain free soon.And let's not forget that Annie and Bella are so supportive through the entire process rooting you on to the finish line.Thanks to The Physio Revolution for helping me believe that I am not broken and do not have to live in pain forever.

I met Brooke and Annie at their booth at the Farmer's Market. They both impressed me as not only extremely knowledgeable, but extremely kind and compassionate. They invited me to their upcoming event where they were discussing their treatment ideas for knee problems. I had knee surgery two years prior and, although I was not experiencing any pain, my mobility was not as good as it had been prior to surgery. I accepted the invitation, thinking I might pick up a tip or two.I found the talk to be very informative and inspirational, their approach to joint care seemed multi-tiered and very logical. I was so impressed that I signed up for a group of sessions with Brooke just to see if I could recover any of my previous flexibility..4 short weeks under Brooke's guidance gave me excellent improvement in my knee's flexibility and strength- more than anything I had experienced 2 years post op. The fluid around my knee significantly reduced-I now have two matching knees- and I am back to doing a pain free child's pose.I feel I made an excellent, excellent decision going to Physio Revolution. Brooke and Annie are the absolute best! Plus, you get to spend time with their puppy, Bella!

I switched to The Physio Revolution when I felt like I wasn't continuing to heal after ACL surgery at my current physical therapist. Brooke worked with me one on one and gave me a month's worth of workouts for me to do on my own at home. In just one month, my one legged jump test improved by 17 inches! I'm confident that working with her will get me back to 100%

Before I found the Physio Revolution, I felt that there was no way for me to recover from my injury which seemed to be feeling worse every day. I went to a few other physical therapists, who did not offer any viable solutions. Brooke is the only physical therapist who really took the time to understand what was happening with my injury and pain and she also took the time to understand how it was impacting my daily life. I have now had five sessions with Brooke and I am really amazed at the progress that I have made and how much better I am feeling. Brooke truly offers solutions and methodologies that are different from other therapists that I have seen. She also really takes the time to care about you as a person. Additionally, Annie has also been awesome by helping me schedule my appointments and making me feel comfortable the moment that I walk through the door. Finally, Bella has lifted my spirits with her warm friendly greetings, her super cool tricks and her adorable little face. I am truly grateful that I found The Physio Revolution. Thank you Brooke, Annie and Bella!

I have had terrible neck and back pain leading to headaches from running for the past 10 years. I have spoken to doctors about it in the past, but never found anything that worked- the answer was usually muscle relaxers and pain relievers (not what I was looking for at all!). My goal was to be able to run pain free again and I had basically given up on that until I met Brooke. She was referred to me by a friend who had gone to her, and she is AMAZING! Brooke did a full, in depth analysis of my condition, even going to the park with me to watch me run 4 miles and analyze my gait. After that we played around with a variety of exercises I could do to improve my condition, all with the goal of me being able to incorporate them into my daily life in order to be successful. I have been to physical therapists before, and the most challenging part of therapy is continuing your exercises when you're out of the therapists office. I can do that with the skills Brooke has equipped me with. She is fantastic! Brooke and Annie make a wonderful team and I feel so lucky to have found them. They genuinely care about me and my well being and that is so refreshing in today's medical environment. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I've gone to The Physio Revolution for both physical therapy and personal fitness training. Brooke is phenomenal at what she does and her service is superb. She truly goes above and beyond. Her video service - recapping your therapy session via YouTube - is especially helpful. She takes the time to listen, analyze, and then move you forward accordingly.For personal training (or fitness training in general), I can tell you that she's a great coach. She provides both a challenging and encouraging environment.I have nothing but positive things to say about The Physio Revolution and would recommend Brooke to anyone.

Brooke is outstanding! Phenomenal really. Her passion and knowledge are obvious but what really stands out is her true desire to help people in any way she can. She follows up immediately after your visit so you remember what you need to do and what you went over in the session. I highly recommend The Physio Revolution for pain relief and the adorable therapy dog, Bella. You guys are the best!

I have been trying to find a place/person to examine me and not just look at radiology reports. Brooke is the cat's meow for that. Then she has designed a program to strengthen and promote a new way for me to be. Her passion for helping people is palpable in every sentence. Give her free session a try and evaluate for yourself. I know I was on board right away. Vicki

I promise you, there is no better physical therapist in the world than Brooke Olsen! Broke is such an amazing physical therapist. I am an avid runner and went into see Brooke when my knees started bothering me a bit. She did a complete full assessment to figure out exactly where the problem was coming from and worked with me to establish exercises to correct my problem. In the end, my knees feel better than they ever have, and I’m running faster mile times than I was before I went into see her. She will work with you the entire visit and goes above and beyond to listen to you, truly assess your needs, and then establish a plan that works. She sent be amazing videos to show me all of my excersizes and checked in with me regularly.

Brooke at the Physio Revolution is definitely the one to go to - very thorough and knowledgeable and I saw quick improvement on my injury (hamstring) and got back to running quickly. I also recommended my son who is recovering from knee surgery and he described her as a "great find" and commutes from Ft. Morgan for his appointments!

As a physical therapist myself I know what to look for:Great listening skills-CheckGreat physical skills to get me better as soon as possible-CheckExtended one on one treatment times-CheckNot pushing me off to a tech or aide-CheckGiving me exercises to do myself to speed up the process-CheckBrooke has created an environment that gives everyone the care they deserve. She is kind, caring, listens to you and gets your input on your treatment and goals, and together you will come up with a plan you are happy with that will get you there as soon as possible. This is the Rolls Royce of care. If you are considering going here, stop thinking about it and just pick up the phone. Once you talk with her you will feel at ease and your worries will fade away. 5 stars.

I have been treated for chronic shoulder pain by Annie and Brooke at TPR. Their hands on work has significantly decreased my pain and improved my range of motion, allowing me to work, climb, swim and sleep comfortably for the first time in a long time. The clinic is comfortable and inviting. My pain hasn't been back, but if I ever need PT again, I will be!

I went to see Brooke at The Physio Revolution when I was having severe low back pain. Scheduling was quick and easy and I was in there the day after I called. She was friendly, welcoming and incredibly thorough. She did an initial pain assessment then walked me through a few fairly simple movements, followed by some myofacial release all while continuing to monitor my pain level. I walked out of there that day with less pain, in one session! She sent me home with exercises to do to keep me on track, along with a follow up appointment. My second season was just as good. Again she did a pain assessment and we went right into other exercises and techniques to help, and they did! Brook is incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything we were doing and why. She has also helped my father who was unable to bear any weight on one knee, and he was 75% better after one visit! If you are having pain of any kind, or know someone who is, go see Brooke! I'm pretty sure there isn't anything she can't fix.
