Class 4 Laser Therapy - Fort Collins, CO

Fast, non-invasive pain relief & tissue regeneration - beyond traditional "cold laser"

Class 4 laser therapy is a high‑power upgrade to traditional “cold” (low‑level) laser devices. Our ReliefNow™ system delivers up to 30 watts of near‑infrared energy—far more than the sub‑watt output of cold lasers—allowing light to reach deep muscles, joints, and nerves. This process (photobiomodulation) energizes cells, boosts circulation, and calms inflammation, so pain eases and healing starts sooner—often in fewer visits than cold‑laser therapy requires.

What our clients say about us

More than 50 five-star reviews on Google.

I’m so grateful to Mark and RISE PT, I’m pain free for the first time years. He is very quick to identify and solve muscle activation issues, and as long as I follow my at home routine I am good to go. The buffer I purchased has been very helpful for home care and keeping my muscles “awake”. I’d recommend Mark to anyone with chronic pain. 🙂

Fantastic!

It was a very helpful session.

Such a Wonderful Experience! This will be my new location for rejuvenation!

Finally! A treatment of sore joints and muscles that works! It has literally changed my life.

Very nice food. It was my first time. I would come again,and try other in menus.

Been going here for years and if you have pain this is the best place to go to get relief. Highly recommended.

Julia is THE BEST sports message therapist around! If you are hurting, go see her!

Mark and Colton really care about their clients. I am more flexible than I ever have been.

I always appreciate the unique approach that this office uses to correct muscle imbalance and to ease pain. Great staff too!

Best place in all of Colorado to get fixed up! Forget traditional methods, Muscle Restoration gets far better results much quicker!

Excellent visit and am looking forward to more. Learned more than I ever expected (& info was fascinating!), and equally excellent was the staff-- personable, gregarious, knowledgeable (very!) and thorough. Will review again after more visits. But so far, so excellent!

Dr. Mark is amazing and I have referred several people to him because I believe honest, smart health providers that provide results should be highlighted.

Mark has treated my entire family for shoulder, foot and leg pain. Thanks for all you have done for us! You are truly amazing.

Mark and Colton are both great at helping you with injury recovery! Attentive and personable, this is a fantastic place to visit if you're suffering from an injury. Don't hesitate to give them a call!

I went to MRT with considerable pain and had a hard time navigating the stairs.After an hour I left with no pain and tools and knowledge to stay on top of my discomfort.Thanks again Mark!

Mark and his team at Muscle Restoration are top notch! They strive to find ways to solve your discomfort and always have a friendly positive approach!!! I highly recommend them if you have any kind of injury or ailment that is bothering you!

Great service Mark and his team are on top of it I can highly recommend them

Mark and Colton are the absolute best at getting you back up and running at 100%! My family has been seeing Muscle Restoration for years and are continually amazed at the excellent results we see. These guys are the best!!

Absolutely amazing how the smallest exercises can make such a huge impact. I felt better after day 1 and continue to improve.

MRT has already worked wonders for my body! I have been trying to figure out the answer to my knee pain and with one visit, I have already been helped so much. I would recommend MRT to anyone who is struggling with pain anywhere in their body!

I was diagnosed with overtraining syndrome a few years ago. It was so difficult to exercise, my mobility was shot, and I constantly had headaches. Dr. Mark was the only person who was able to help me properly recover, and now I'm fully back in the swing of sports, lifting, running, etc. This review is past due, but I am so grateful!

They are miracle workers. I’ve dealt with chronic pain for more than a decade. I’ve taken every prescription, done every type of physical therapy, but never felt relief and the power of my own long term management.

Marc and his staff are very professional. Very willing to help me with my concerns to health. I would highly recommend them!!

Being working with Mark and Craig for the last few months, after falling and injuring my right hand and shoulder. I am pleased with the progression.

I had back pain and neck pain. I Got pain relief from the buffer. They give homework exercises and activities, which are a great adjunct to therapy.

MRT has given me relief that I haven't had in three years. Mark Rise and his team off some unique treatment, and will keep you involved in helping yourself too. I am so thankful.

I was having nerve issues in my lower back & down my legs. MRT has helped so much. Before seeing Mark, I doubted if I could go on a 3 week hiking trip, but by doing the homework suggested, I was able to do the hiking & enjoy the trip. I will continue to use MRT & buffer massage. Thanks Mark & Craig!

I have been thrilled to see the healing process work for my husband's knee. As he works with Mark and Craig through lasers and buffers for muscle training; we are seeing progress!!

I see the MRT team weekly. Infact, I have been a regular since Mark WAS the team. Mark and his sidekick Craig work wonders for this old man. Years ago, I entered hunched over. Now I am walking upright and their weekly maintenance keeps me there.

Everyone in this office is super. I used to have orthotics for my very flat feet and had knee pain. Craig and Mark have made it possible to not wear orthotics and my knees no longer hurt. This place is amazing.

I had an incredible experience at MRT. In just 2 sessions most of my mobility and strength returned to my seriously injured shoulder. In addition, Mark also helped with cramping in my legs at night. He is a skilled and compassionate therapist. MRT gets my highest recommendation.

I've been going to Muscle Restoration Therapy for 13 years with excellent results. It started with pain management for my back, which led to total pain relief. They have treated my family for everything from back pain, neck pain, knee pain, and more. Mark and team have been able to get us fixed up and back in action.

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.

Working with Mark, Craig, and Jonah has been a great experience for me. They have helped me to feel better and be at my best. I have less pain and improved flexibity. Bonus, I sleep better as well. Give them a try you will enjoy the results!

Mark is AMAZING. He truly cares about his clients and does everything in his power to get you feeling better. His methods are unconventional and get results. My husband, son, and I have all seen Mark for back pain and shoulder issues. He fixed us up and gave us the tools to be proactive and stay out of his office as well. His new location on McMurry is so nice and convenient.
