Back pain shouldn’t dictate how you work, train, or sleep. At Muscle Restoration Therapy in Fort Collins, we look beyond surface-level symptoms—evaluating movement patterns, herniated or bulging discs, and nerve irritation—to build a multi-modal recovery plan tailored specifically to your body.
Whether it’s a nagging disc issue from sitting at a desk or acute strain from training, waiting it out only makes things worse. We evaluate your spinal mechanics, movement history, and nerve tension to build a clear, non-surgical path forward.

“I went to Mark with some of the worst back pain of my life. I was already doing other physical therapy but not getting any better. Mark is amazing at diagnosing where there is a problem in your body and then using massage and other tools (red light therapy, exercises, etc.) to help your pain. Once my pain had significantly reduced, I started seeing Craig for shorter sessions and strength exercises. They are both honest, hard working people who will do whatever they can to help you!”

“Mark and Craig are skilled therapists who know how to get to the core of my neck and back pain, and work to achieve pain relief and a full range of mobility. The homework they provide empowers me to take a proactive approach to my own pain management and healing. I am living pain free, enjoying cycling and running, thanks to MRT.”

MRT has received more than 90 five-star Google reviews. Results vary by person, but reviews can help you understand their experience.
Possible factors include muscle strain, joint irritation, disc-related concerns, nerve sensitivity, posture, limited hip movement, overuse, and prior injury. A proper evaluation is needed when symptoms persist.
Schedule an evaluation when pain lasts more than a week or two, limits normal movement, keeps returning, affects sleep, or travels into the leg. Seek prompt medical care for sudden weakness, loss of bowel or bladder control, major trauma, fever, or rapidly worsening symptoms.
It may help when muscle function, movement, tissue irritation, or other non-surgical factors are involved. The recommended option depends on the evaluation.
MRT reviews symptoms, history, movement, and activities that affect the pain. The team then explains which options may fit and whether medical follow-up is needed.
The number varies by the condition, how long it has been present, and how the person responds. MRT should explain a starting plan and how progress will be reviewed.
Depending on the findings, the plan may include hands-on Muscle Restoration Therapy, spinal decompression, SoftWave, Class IV laser, PEMF, acupuncture, or a combination.
