Back pain can make everyday movement, work, training, and sleep harder than it should be. At Muscle Restoration Therapy in Fort Collins, care focuses on identifying what may be driving symptoms – from muscle tension and joint irritation to nerve sensitivity or old injuries – then building a non-invasive plan around comfort, mobility, and function.
Back pain treatment should consider more than the location of discomfort. MRT reviews spinal and hip movement, muscle guarding, nerve-related symptoms, daily posture, activity, and prior injuries before recommending a plan.
A care plan may include spinal decompression, SoftWave therapy, or pain management services when those options fit the evaluation. MRT uses each option to support comfort, mobility, and function without turning every symptom into the same treatment path.

“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.
