Physical Therapy for Professional Athletes in Highlands Ranch

Helping athletes and active individuals across the Highlands Ranch area recover, perform, and thrive

A Personal Message From Dr. Gina Fick

Founder of Fick PT & Performance | Orthopedic Manual PT Certified | Fellow, American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists | Level I and II Dry Needling Certified

As a professional athlete, your body is your career, and even a “small” injury can cost you games, contracts, opportunities, and long-term stability.

If pain is slowing you down, limiting your performance, or keeping you off the field, court, or track…
you’re in the right place.

Are you worried about losing playing time, missing critical games, or being out for the season?

Have you tried pain meds, chiropractic adjustments, massages, or quick sideline check-ins, only to feel temporary relief?

Are you concerned that your injury could affect your career, income, or future opportunities?

Are you frustrated that previous providers didn’t explain things clearly or couldn’t get you back to competing at the level you expect from yourself?

If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

We help professional athletes with these exact challenges every week at our Highlands Ranch clinic.

Common Injuries We Treat in Professional Athletes

If you’re experiencing any of these, don’t wait, early intervention can mean faster recovery.

There’s a Lot of Bad Advice Out There

Athletes are often told:

But here’s the truth:

Pain medications don’t fix injuries, they only mask symptoms.
Ice, heat, and stim can help short-term, but they don’t correct the underlying issue.
Most pro athletes can return to their pre-injury performance level.
Surgery and injections are options, but not the only ones.

Reclaim Your Competitive Edge

Your career depends on your physical ability, and choosing the wrong provider can cost you valuable playing time, slow your rehab, and even lead to reinjury. It can shorten your career and limit your opportunities, both on the field and financially.

The good news?
Most professional athlete injuries can be resolved naturally and effectively, without unnecessary surgery, when treatment targets the true root cause instead of masking symptoms with temporary fixes.

That’s how you achieve real, lasting recovery.
