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!

I was having some severe shoulder pain from swimming. I came to MRT to have them help me with it. I have been doing Target Massage and it had been helping. They suggested I try adding Far Infrared heating pad and as soon as I did I saw a noticeable reduction in pain and that my Target Massage treatments were working and holding better. I am now back to swimming again! Thanks MRT!!!

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!!

If you have joint pain, back pain....etc. don't even hesitate calling Mark! He WILL get you out of pain...if he can't help you, he will tell you on the first visit and won't waste your time or money. His goal is to educate you in ways that are so easy to understand and to get you pain free giving you exercises and tools to use at home! I'm back to working out and doing it in a safe way to avoid injury! He's great!!!

My job is very stressful on my body and Mark and Juju keep me healthy and on the tennis court. I always feel amazing after I see either one of them. After a diagnosis of a bulging disc in my neck and 6 month of physical therapy including Massages, acupuncture, chiropractic, and training, I was still not at 50% and was release from that therapy. I was very frustrated and was recommended I see Mark. In one treatment, I was feeling close to 80% and by the third treatment at 100%. Then I maintain it with a monthly massage visit to JuJu. Together, they are amazing and very knowledgeable of how your body needs to work. I highly recommend them if you are in pain.

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

Mark Rise at Muscle Restoration Therapy is a phenomenal practitioner. He has an advanced understanding of the bodies muscular skeletal system and the neurological functioning of our muscles. He has expanded upon the principles of MAT, and with this advanced understanding he is able to help people recover from injuries and eliminate pain quicker than any other physical therapists. Clients refer to him as the 'miracle worker' because he regularly treats conditions, which clients were told from previous therapists or doctors would never go away. Even if you have been suffering from pain for years, don't give up hope. Mark can help you... and if he can't, he offers a money back guarantee.

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!

Before going to Muscle Restoration I suffered from chronic nerve pain in my arms for over 4 years. I had gone to Drs, massage therapists, acupuncturists, and chiropractors with no improvement. When I came to Muscle Restoration I couldn't even lift my arm 20 degrees without experiencing pain. Mark and his team worked with my (very small) budget, giving me exercises and tools to improve myself. It took some time, but eventually I was able to move my arms with no pain! I'm now able to lift weights, climb, and play cello like I used to, and am equipped with knowledge to prevent a relapse. If you are experiencing chronic muscle/nerve issues, I highly recommend Muscle Restoration!

As a member of the Sports Medicine team for the Colorado Eagles Hockey Club, I can say with confidence that Mark Rise is your guy for muscle restoration. He has helped our Eagles players on numerous occasions - particularly, during playoffs. His methods have proven to be quick and effective. He is also diligent with his follow up care to make sure the athlete has long term success. I would recommend any athlete to see Mark for muscle restoration needs.

For 10+ I've had lower back pain. A physical therapist originally told me it was chronic and would never go away. A co-worker recently told me about Mark, and after just one session my back pain was significantly reduced, plus I learned the real reason for the cause. Mark explained everything during the appointment so I knew what he was doing and why. He also made sure there was plenty of time for answering any questions I had. Previously I looked into seeing a chiropractor or other physical therapists, but knew I would end up with weekly appointments indefinitely without really ever fixing the problem. Mark's goal is to help retrain your muscles so you DON'T have to see him weekly. If you have back pain, I highly, highly recommend you check Mark out. You won't be disappointed!

5 days before my wedding, I woke up unable to move because of back pain. I have never experienced back pain at this level. There was no accident or known injury to point to. Co-workers is mine spoke of the ‘back wizard’ in Ft. Collins and I got the earliest appointment I could. I walked into Mark’s office on Tuesday at a 8 out of 10 on the pain scale and 4 days before my wedding. I walked out at a 0. No drugs. I went back on Friday for more ‘tweaking’ and he had me stand and walk in my heels I was wearing for the wedding just to make sure I would make it through. He gave me his personal cell in case I had issues on my wedding day. I was pain free the entire weekend. Unbelievable. I will continue to see him for a hip injury that doctors and physical therapist can’t seem to figure out. Mark and his team are wizards.

I went to Muscle Restoration after I had been in a car accident. I was in a lot of pain and had many months of recovery ahead of me. With the help of my massage therapist, Julia, I was able to remain mobile and as close to pain free as possible. She was able to tune into what my body needed and provided an insurmountable amount of relief. I am forever thankful to the staff at Muscle Restoration for their genuine care. I plan on joining their monthly massage program, as well. It's a great deal and helps keep me moving!

I was dealing with what I thought was a torn abdominal muscle/hernia for 8 months. I had MRI's, CT Scans, Ultra Sounds, and other appointments and spent $1,000's in imaging fees, co-pays, etc. Nothing was found and nothing could be done to help me. ONE APPOINTMENT with Mark not only figured out what the problem was (it was a nerve issue in my neck not communicating to my core area, possibly from whiplash sometime in the past 20 years), but he was able to correct it as well as give me exercises to keep the problem from returning. I went on my first jog in 8 months 3 days after the appointment. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mark and his practices. They work!

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!!

After a full-elbow replacement, I ended up with less than 50% range of motion of my wrist and elbow. I had physical therapy for 3 months and went back to my surgeon who said I should have full-range of motion without additional surgery. He had no solution, and I felt everyone had given up on me. My colleague suggested Muscle Restoration. Mark Rise gave me hope and developed a recovery plan that could help me. After using the Beamer and receiving target massages, I have 85%-90% range of motion. I can now enjoy an active lifestyle of bicycling, kayaking and hiking. My suggestion to you is to give MR a try.

Amazing healing providers! Mark Rise is a genius and a muscle mind reader. Every problem of mine has been fixed with extreme care! The whole is spectacular and very friendly. They truly care about you. My whole family goes here for all healing and comfort needs. The message therapist is excellent.

MRT saved me! I'd tried an MD, two different styles of chiropractic (traditional and network), medical massage, physical therapy, and acupuncture, but nothing helped beyond 24 hours and nobody had any more options to offer me. 18 months into knee, low back, groin, and shoulder pain bad enough to make be stop working out and making it hard to walk or even drive, my network chiropractor referred me to Mark Rise at MRT, and I could tell by the end of the first appointment that it had helped. The only question was whether it would "stick" as Mark explained it would because it would retrain the muscles causing my problems. Now I go for maintenance appointments as needed, but am back to boot camp workouts at age 61 and rarely think about the pain or limitations I used to deal with constantly. When I do feel minor symptoms in my weak areas, I use what Mark has taught me to "magically" make them disappear in 30 seconds to a few minutes. On top of his great work, Mark is one of the nicest people I know.

I was in so much pain on a Tuesday that all I could do was lie flat on my back. I couldn't walk or sit. I started working with Mark that day and was DILIGENT about doing his prescribed muscle restoration exercises. By Thursday, the pain was gone and I was slowly getting back to the gym. It was an incredible experience and I couldn't recommend MRT enough!! Thank you, Mark!

I began working with Mark last summer and the experience has been amazing. I have myotonic dystrophy and have lost the feeling in my feet and struggled with balance issues for a couple years. Within 3 treatments of "goofy" exercises I began to feel my feet and my balance has improved drastically since my first visit. At 58 I had realistically given up hope that I would lead a somewhat normal life. This winter I began skiing for the first time and have the balance I would have as a person without MD. I would HIGHLY recommend Mark for any recovery from injury you seek.

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.

The MRT team is the best! Don't live with muscle pain, you don't have too! The level 4 laser is amazing. It get's deep into the muscle and repairs thereby alleviating joint pain. I was experiencing some major shoulder and neck pain and after 3 treatments a week for 4 weeks the feeling in my fingers was back and the shoulder pain was gone. I was relatively sure I was going to have to have surgery on my C4, C5 area but this laser worked miracles. Thank you Mark and team!

I was referred to MRT by a friend who suffered from back pain and had great results. I was having severe pain in my lower back and hip. I was very limited in my daily life. I had been to a spine specialist, physical therapist and pain management without any positive results. I started working with Mark and his team and the results were positive but was still uncomfortable until I really focused on doing the “homework “ exercises!! Once I was doing these regularly the improvement was incredible . I am back to doing the activities I enjoy in 2 months. I highly recommend MRT!!

Working with Mark has been a total game-changer for my health. I was struggling with fairly intense lower back pain and had tried just about everything else I could to fix it (PT, acupuncture, stretching, massage, etc). Nothing helped it feel permanently better until I landed here, thanks to a great referral! Still on the pathway to healing, but I feel significantly better and experience much less pain than I have in years. I have recommended Mark to everyone I know that is experiencing muscle dysfunction or pain of some sort, especially those who have tried other treatment modalities to address it without success. Thank you, Mark!

MRT has been a vital part of my ‘self care’ for a number of years! But, only recently have I discovered the exceptional benefits of utilizing the ‘full body 30 minute massage’ with the Buffer! In my opinion, it is far superior to a regular hand massage, as it stimulates blood flow and assists in lymphatic clearing, which equates to a full body ‘reboot’ and a ‘boost’ to my immune system! I take advantage of these sessions every two weeks and look forward to how great I feel, as I bid a fond farewell to the guys as I’m walking out the door! I love this most recent addition to my health care protocol! I’m 70 years old and loving my life!!

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.

Before seeing MRT I had back pain daily. After one visit and some simple exercises I was given, I can say it’s been 2 weeks and the back pain is gone. I’m impressed and incredibly grateful. Before this, I went to 2 different chiropractors and did a bunch of yoga, which helped, but never had the pain disappear. Thanks you guys. Highly recommend.

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.

What Mark Rise does is very unique, but tremendously effective. He gave me my life back with total pain relief over time and taught me how to fix my muscles myself! I was to the point a couple years ago that I was certain I needed both knee surgery and hip surgery. Stairs were becoming nearly impossible, and walking was painful. Exercise, even Yoga, just made things worse. Mark determined the issues were muscular, not skeletal, and restored my muscles so that I could live pain free. He later helped immensely when I broke my ankle helping to bring relief to muscles that were totally shut down. His techniques are unique, including muscle testing. He uses unique tools, including car buffers with special pads. Keep your mind open, do your homework, and you will not regret it as his techniques do work. He is excellent at what he does and guarantees results. I am now seeing Craig for isometric exercises once a week that have helped so much in gaining strength. We have so much fun and he is just amazing to work with. MRT's new location brought Danielle, whom I am now seeing for acupuncture as well. As I am still fighting lung cancer and have issues from side effects from cancer treatments, what she has done in a few short sessions has been amazing. She combines acupuncture with electrical pulses for solid, long-term results and pain relief, helping to rebalance my body, clear my mind, release bad energy and regain good energy. Their new location is amazing, professional, and this team, including Jonah at the front desk, is just a dream team for long-lasting restoration and relief to your body. I cannot begin to recommend them enough, and the buffers, small but powerful hand massage guns, and the PEMF machine are amazing as well! While I cannot use the red-light therapy because of potential cancer cells, it is an added tool to this totally diverse and amazing team of people and tools that work to give you your life back and restore your health to the best it can be.

In my 50's my body was failing me. I have always been active but persistent back and knee pain had me barely able to make down the stairs for coffee in the morning. I tried everything, seriously everything short of surgery and nothing helped. MRT was the answer for me. Now, one week shy or turning 60 I am back on my bike and training for a 6-hour endurance mountain bike race. I feel great and owe it all to Mark and his team. Can't recommend them highly enough.

I went to the doctor and was told I need a hip replacement… Mark and his crew said let’s try an alternative and now I can say I am back to pretty much all normal activity, working out every day and doing my exercises as recommended by these guys… Hip is feeling great and I’m feeling like 1 million bucks And I probably saved 100 grand or so in surgery 🙂 highly highly highly recommend these guys… Do yourself a favor and before agreeing to any surgeries from your doctor, at least consult with muscle Restoration therapy first!

I've been seeing Mark for several months and he has helped me tremendously! I came in looking for help with arm rotation issues, knowing my arm rotation issues and back problems were connected. My arm no longer bothers me and I'm able to go longer between chiropractor visits due to his help (I've had to go every 2-3 months for maintenance for the last several years). The longterm goal is to not have to go to the chiro for maintenance at all, and I fully believe he'll help me get to that point. He works with you to help you understand why areas of your body aren't performing and working, and then helps you get those areas working again. I would highly recommend Mark if you're struggling with pain or discomfort in any parts of your body as he'll help you figure out the problems and get those areas healthy and working again.

Mark is amazing! I have been dealing with pain for years. For the first time in a long time I can see a pain free path. He is great at what he does and takes time to explain what he is doing and how to keep up at home. I give Mark and MRT my highest recommendation! If you are in pain the answer is with Mark and his team at MRT!

What do I do when I get in a pattern of muscle pain and nothing works? I go to Muscle Restoration. I always walk out of the office pain free with homework to stay that way. No matter how long something has been difficult aI leave pain free. I have gone to Mark Rise when I injured myself for over 20 years and always came away knowing how to keep myself pain free. From distance running to yoga I have been helped. Medication free!!! Just recently worked with his protege Craig with the same results. Thank you for all you do to help me stay active and healthy!

After suffering back pain for months with no relief, a friend suggested I give Mark at MRT a try. After just one visit, I was able to function without any pain. Whenever any of my friends are hurting, the first out of my mouth is give MRT a try you won't be disappointed.

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.

Danielle is an amazing acupuncturist. She is able to address both acute and chronic issues efficiently. She even identified some I was not aware I was holding on to. We have worked on pain, allergies and emotions all with success. Thank you Danielle!

I've been receiving services through MRT for 3 years now to address chronic pain issues. I suffered from chronic pain for a number of years prior to going to MRT, during which time I sought help from a number of different specialists with no appreciable improvement. I finally got relief from buffing and following homework assignments through MRT. Shortly after starting at MRT, I was diagnosed with breast cancer which required surgery, radiation treatment and a regimen of medication to which the major side effect is muscle and joint pain. Mark suggested I try red light therapy where I use the ARRC-LED light bed. After two sessions of using it, I felt a significant improvement with an overall decrease in pain. An added benefit of the light therapy is clearer thinking and a more positive outlook on my part. I highly recommend seeking services from the dedicated and knowledgeable staff!

This treatment regimen is completely stellar. As the owner of a body for many years, it's remarkable how little I know of how to operate it. The people who make up this small, but mighty organization are genuinely talented, smart, and curious - a difference maker for any athlete, wanna be athlete or owner of a body with operational challenges and questions.

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.

I've had some unresolved pain for almost a year in my neck and then in my shoulder. Other therapies and modalities have only had a limited impact. I can't say why, but the red light therapy I've been having at Muscle Restoration Therapy has made the single biggest improvement in the pain, to the point where it seems like it is almost completely gone and my mobility is almost back to normal. I know they can't say that it helps with pain relief, but my experience has been that my neck pain, back pain and shoulder pain, and the mobility in all of them, has seen a drastic improvement. I'd encourage anyone in the Fort Collins area dealing with pain to come in for an assessment. Their new location on Harmony Road is also very nice, great atmosphere.

My name is Kyle and my thirteen year old daughter Elizabeth loves to play volleyball. Earlier this year, at her club practice in NV on a Thursday, a few outside trainers, some with Olympic experience, were invited to introduce her team to non-volleyball conditioning. During the session, one of the trainers noticed her movements, took her aside, and showed her how she was favoring her right leg over her left and her left leg was turned in slightly and had less muscle than the right. And when my wife picked her up afterwards, they discussed the situation, decided Elizabeth shouldn’t attend middle school PE let alone play volleyball until it was fixed, and correcting it could require physical therapy and potentially a brace or surgery. I’ve known Mark since childhood, he worked on my shoulders a couple of times when I started to get back into shape several years ago, and Elizabeth and my wife flew to Fort Collins that weekend to see him because if there was an “easy fix” we were confident he would find it. After only a hour and a half Mark had Elizabeth's left leg back symmetrical again with her right and she was able to move painlessly in ways she couldn’t previously. In all likelihood, the atrophy was due to a torn MCL she sustained playing soccer four years earlier that hadn’t completely healed despite physical therapy. Mark also prescribed exercises to do to address the imbalance but she didn’t miss a single practice and played in a tournament the following weekend. As I texted him videos from that tournament to assess her movement and progress and witnessed how much she truly enjoyed playing, I was relieved that we chose for her to see Mark first because otherwise we wouldn't have been there. We are very fortunate the visiting trainer noticed Elizabeth’s abnormal movement and most grateful to Mark that his unique skills and noninvasive approach, acquired over years of study and experience, diagnosed and began correcting her imbalance within the first 90 minutes enabling her to be more athletic than before without requiring physical therapy, braces, or surgery.

I was training for a big hunt and started to have knee pain 2 weeks before leaving. I stopped training to rest and went on the trip. The pain got so bad while hiking that I had to stop and come home. I was using crutches the pain was so bad. My wife scheduled an appointment with Mark and on the first visit I was able to walk out with almost no pain. Over the next 2 weeks Mark and Craig were able to help me overcome the pain and work with me to be able to get back out for the last week of the hunt. I’m thankful for what they’ve done for me and I highly recommend them if you’re having any pain!

The entire staff here is beyond knowledgeable in what they do. They are professional and kind, not to mention that their techniques and system for injury recovery and improving function of my body have been the only thing that worked for me after trying countless physical therapists and massage therapists. If you're doubtful, this place is definitely worth a try. They gave me homework exercises to do on my own that have helped me to understand my own body better, and restore my own health upon reinjury.

I was diagnosed with a Morton’s neuroma in my left foot about six months ago. I headed straight to my local orthopedic center and they told me to wear some inserts and give it a couple months of limiting my exercises that bother it. I had no change, in fact was getting worse when I thought to call Mark. Within minutes he found the root cause of my Neuroma. He is looking at it totally differently than anyone else and I have been pain free for almost a week with no inserts in my shoes and I even went for a run and had no pain! Mark gave me homework and I’m doing it religiously! I’m so glad I called Mark!

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! I am excited that they moved to McMurray since it is closer to my house and work so if I need them again, I can easily get there.

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.
