Find the root cause
A deep dive into movement, strength, mobility, and the demands of your sport. We pinpoint exactly what is causing the pain. And why it keeps coming back.
UpSlope Physical Therapy & Performance · Fort Collins
Physical therapy
built for the way you Lift.
Hour-long, hands-on physical therapy in a real gym. We get active adults out of pain and back to the work they love. No churn. No cookie-cutter protocols. Real coaching under load.
What we do
We don’t tell
active people to rest.
At Upslope, we pride ourselves on an active approach to rehab. You will never hear us tell you to stop the things you love, because we get it. You want to stay in the gym, on the trail, on the court. Not on the sidelines.

Featured review
If you are looking for a highly skilled physical therapist, Frankie is exceptional. I went from limited movement and pain with a bulging disc at L4-5 to fully functional and pain free in 10 sessions. Highly worth it. I cannot recommend Frankie and Upslope Physical Therapy enough.
