Schedule a ConsultationComprehensive care tailored to your specific needs.
Understanding the "why" behind your pain. We use modern neuroscience to help desensitize your nervous system and reduce chronic symptoms.
Hands-on manual therapy and targeted exercises to restore joint mechanics, improve strength, and increase mobility.
Guiding you safely from surgery back to peak performance with evidence-based protocols and compassionate care.
Expert care from the comfort of your home. We use secure video visits to assess your movement and guide your rehab exercises in real-time.
We use thin, monofilament needles to target specific trigger points in your muscles. This safe technique helps decrease tightness, increase blood flow, and reset your nervous system for immediate pain relief.
Bridge the gap between rehab and fitness. We offer specialized movement analysis and strength coaching to help you hit new PRs, hike longer, and prevent future injuries before they start.
We believe in a clear plan. Here is what you can expect when working with us.
We start with a comprehensive evaluation (In-person in Wellington or Virtual) to understand your history, your goals, and your unique pain triggers.
We build a custom plan combining hands-on therapy for relief and neuroscience education to retrain your brain's pain signals.
Our goal is to fire ourselves. We provide you with the tools and confidence to manage your body so you can return to the mountains, the gym, or the garden.
With over 20 years of clinical experience, Pete brings a unique blend of high-level athletic training and expert physical therapy to Northern Colorado. He earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Regis University (2006) and holds a background in Athletic Training from Northeastern University (1998).
Pete specializes in treating complex, long-lasting pain conditions using a neuro-orthopedic approach. He believes that true recovery happens when you treat the whole person, not just the injury. By combining hands-on manual therapy with modern pain psychology, he helps patients understand their nervous system to break the cycle of chronic pain.
Previously serving as a Clinic Supervisor at UCHealth, Pete founded NoCo Physio to focus on what matters most: education and empowerment. His goal is to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and lifelong fitness, helping you move from "patient" back to the active life you love.
Real results from your neighbors in Wellington, Fort Collins, and beyond.
"I thought I would never hike Horsetooth Rock again without back pain. The pain coaching approach was different than any PT I've tried before. It changed my life."
"After my surgery, I was nervous about reinjury. Pete's background in athletic training gave me the confidence to push myself safely. I'm back in the gym full time."
"Finally, someone who listened to my whole story. I learned that my pain wasn't just 'in my head', but it was changeable. I'm gardening again for the first time in years."
We are a cash-based practice, which allows us to provide one-on-one care without the restrictions of insurance companies. We can provide a "Superbill" for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Pain Coaching is a science-based approach to chronic pain. We use education and graded exposure to help desensitize a hypersensitive nervous system. It is effective for fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, and recurring injuries.
In Colorado, you have "Direct Access" to physical therapy, meaning you do not need a physician's referral to start treatment.
