Treat the Cause, Not Just the Symptoms
Muscle Restoration Therapy provides non-invasive pain management in Fort Collins. No injections, no medication. We find the muscle dysfunction causing your pain and treat that, not just where it hurts. Your first visit is a consult with Mark Rise, our clinical lead, and it comes with a guarantee.
Most pain clinics in Fort Collins manage pain with injections, medication or a procedure. Those help many people. MRT does something different. We look for the cause.
Pain is a signal. Where it hurts is rarely where the problem started. When muscles stop working correctly, other muscles take over, and the joint or tissue under them takes the load. That is muscle dysfunction, and it is what we look for and treat.
At your first visit we use functional muscle testing to find which muscles have stopped doing their job, restore them with hands-on work, and give you simple homework to hold the correction. Supporting therapies come after that, when your evaluation shows they fit.
No injections. No medication. No surgery. One plan built around what we find in your body.
Each condition below has its own page with what we find, how we treat it and what clients ask.
Most back pain we see comes from muscles that have stopped stabilizing the spine the way they should. We find which ones and restore them, without injections or medication. Back pain relief in Fort Collins.
Neck pain often shows up when the muscles around the neck, shoulder blades and upper back stop doing their job. Restoring them is how turning, looking down and sleeping get easier. Neck pain treatment in Fort Collins.
Knee pain is often caused by muscles in the hips, thighs or lower leg that are not working correctly. We find what is not firing and restore it so the knee can move and load without pain. Knee pain relief in Fort Collins.
Shoulder pain usually traces back to muscles in the rotator cuff and upper back that have switched off. We restore them so lifting, reaching and sleeping stop hurting. Shoulder pain relief in Fort Collins.
Foot and heel pain, including plantar fasciitis, often comes from muscle dysfunction in the calves, hips or the foot itself. We correct the upstream cause so you can walk and stand without pain. Plantar fasciitis treatment in Fort Collins.
Numbness, tingling or burning in the feet or hands. Our non-invasive therapies support tissue health, circulation and better movement patterns, alongside restoring the muscles that are not working. Neuropathy relief in Fort Collins.

Every pain management plan at MRT starts with a consult with Mark Rise, our founder and clinical lead, with more than 25 years of experience. He tests which muscles are not working, treats what he finds in the same visit, and tells you straight whether we can help.
That first visit is the one our guarantee covers.
The MRT Guarantee: Feel at least 50% better after your first pain management visit, or it’s free.
Once we know what is causing your pain, your plan can combine
Not every plan uses every tool. The assessment and the hands-on work come first; the devices support them. We review your progress and adjust the plan as you go, so you never sit in a one-size-fits-all package.

I trashed my back playing golf and was literally crippled for 2 weeks when a friend recommended Mark at MRT. Although skeptical I knew the normal choices, doctor, PT or chiropractor would not solve the problem so I made an appointment and met with Mark. Within 3 weeks I was out of pain and after 6 weeks the problem was solved. My issue was severe so it took some time to get over it. I’m glad I went and you will be too. I highly recommend MRT for chronic pain.![]()

I've had several sessions with Mark and have already seen a significant improvement in my pain management. I feel like I'm on the path to recovery! I really appreciate his depth of knowledge and taking time to explain things. And, everyone at the office is so friendly and helpful!![]()

I absolutely recommend Mark Rise at Muscle Restoration Therapy! I love running but hadn’t been able to run for over 10 months. After getting an MRI, I was told I might have a joint disease, which was discouraging. I went to see Mark ONE time, and after evaluating my knee and body, he gave me specific exercises using a power massager. I started them right away, and within 2 weeks I was able to complete my first 3-mile run completely pain-free. Now I’m back to running 4–5 days a week! I’ve continued doing the exercises Mark gave me, along with red light therapy at MRT twice a week, and my progress has been incredible. I can’t thank Mark enough for helping me get back to something I love. Highly recommend!![]()

Mark and the team at Muscle Restoration are excellent! I came in with back pain that was difficult to diagnose, and Mark was patient and took the time to understand the root problem. He worked to get my back feeling better, not only through skilled care, but also by educating me. He helps you learn how to address back problems at home so that you stay healthy in the long run. So grateful for his care and expertise! I have already recommended Mark to several other people!![]()

I had what I called “leg-butt” and Mark tested me, advised me in what I need to do and it took care of the pain. Now what I need to do is a part of my daily routine and have remained pain free. I so appreciate Mark and the help he has given me. Thanks!![]()

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! I have been taking Algae Cal Plus & Strontium Boost for 6 months my doctor was impressed with my big improvement. I hope more people will try these products, they work! JRG![]()

Mark is a genius I say! By far the best I’ve ever had. Really knows his stuff ! Fixed me physically and mentally as far as my back is concerned! Had good advice and the only one that wanted to watch me load and unload my equipment. Gave me an exercise routine that I do in a chair that you wouldn’t even know I’m doing for the most part. Others only told me to get new job!![]()

The team at MRT are fantastic. From the day you start with them you can immediately see & feel their passion to help you get better. They talk you through everything they are doing & empower you to do your homework and see the results. When my back proved to be more stubborn than initially diagnosed they added in the SoftWave therapy and that was an awesome decision! Several areas in my back began to respond so quickly to this treatment. This is a committed group of health professionals!![]()

At 14 years old, I was struggling with Osgood-Schlatter disease and thought I’d be stuck wearing orthotics for the rest of my life. That’s when I met Mark from Muscle Restoration, and he completely changed my perspective on healing. His techniques didn’t just mask the pain—they actually fixed the problem. I was blown away. Nearly a decade later, I came back to Mark with a shoulder injury, and once again, he worked his magic. His expertise is unmatched, and his dedication to truly helping people is even more impressive. Amazing service, even better man. Recommended 11/10 Ps. The new office is amazing!

Fort Collins is home, and we also serve clients from nearby Loveland and Windsor.
Fort Collins has several pain clinics, and many do good work. Clients choose MRT when they want the cause found, not only the symptom managed.
Fort Collins is an active town. Runners and hikers on the Horsetooth trails, cyclists, CSU students and desk workers, nurses and trades workers on their feet all shift. Pain that keeps coming back is common here, and it does not have to be something you accept.
A pain management clinic helps you get out of pain and back to what you want to do. Many clinics in Fort Collins do that with injections, medication or procedures. MRT does it by finding the muscle dysfunction causing the pain and restoring those muscles, with non-invasive care.
No. We do not prescribe medication, give injections or do surgery. If your pain needs that kind of care, we tell you and point you to the right place.
Back, neck, knee, shoulder, foot and heel pain, and numbness or tingling from neuropathy are the most common. Each has its own page above. Not sure yours fits? Ask us and we tell you straight.
We look for what is causing the pain instead of managing where it hurts. Your first visit is a consult with our clinical lead, with functional muscle testing and treatment in the same visit, and it is covered by the MRT Guarantee. Other clinics help many people with other tools. We look at something they usually do not.
History, functional muscle testing, treatment and a clear plan, all in one visit with our clinical lead. The MRT Guarantee: Feel at least 50% better after your first pain management visit, or it’s free.
It depends on how long the pain has been there and what is causing it. Most clients notice a difference after their first visit (that is the MRT Guarantee), and the plan usually unfolds over several visits. You hear the plan, and how we review progress, at the first visit.
MRT is an out-of-network, cash-based clinic. That lets our team give you dedicated one-on-one care without an insurance company limiting your plan. We can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance provider for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and we accept HSA and FSA cards.
Request a first appointment with the button on this page or call 970-449-9757. Our front desk sets up your first visit and answers any questions first.
