A Personal Message From Dr. Gina Fick

Are you worried about forfeiting practice time, missing games, losing your competitive edge, or being out the entire season because of an injury that won’t go away?
Have you tried pain medications, chiropractic care, and massages only to get short-term relief?
Are you concerned about losing your job because of your inability to play?
Are You Frustrated with previous healthcare professionals who don’t explain your recovery in a way that makes sense and didn’t give you a clear picture on how to get back to playing safely?
Are you someone who values their health and is looking for a long-term solution to getting rid of your injury so you can get back to the game?

If You Answered “Yes” To Any Of These Questions,
You Are In The Right Place!

It’s common to do everything you can to fix a sports injury but find that nothing really works for the long-term.

Many professional athletes are told to be very careful with their injuries and end up feeling stuck spending more time on the sidelines than contributing to their team’s success..

If that’s happening to you, you’re definitely not alone, and we hear this type of thing all the time.

In fact, professional athletes are one of the most common groups of people that we see in our Highlands Ranch clinic!

"Dr. Fick is very knowledgeable, a great communicator, and super friendly. A great combination for an excellent experience! As a professional athlete Dr. Fick has not only helped me recover from my injuries but has gotten me stronger in the process. There’s no substitute for the best…and that’s Dr. Fick."

There’s A Lot Of Bad Advice Out There About Professional Athletic Injuries...

What's False:

Just take some pain pills and get back in the game.
Put some ice, heat, or e-stim on it and push through the pain.
After this injury, you won’t be able to perform at the same level anymore.
Surgery and injections are the only options to heal properly and get back to playing.

But, The TRUTH Is:

Resting or taking pain medicine doesn’t fix anything.
Treatments like ice, heat, and stim don’t fix the underlying problem..
It is possible to get back to your level of play pre-injury.
Surgery and injections are not the only options. They’re just the only options your surgeon can offer you.

As a post collegiate athlete, getting the best care is a huge part of what it takes to be successful. Gina is an excellent PT, who has helped me through injuries I have sustained on the track. Her services have helped me come back stronger from these injuries, which was invaluable during a long track season. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel better faster!

Get Your Competitive Edge Back!

You must choose the right provider for your health. If you don’t, you could end up sitting out for extended periods of time, negatively impacting your career and finances.
We understand you want to get a handle on this injury so it doesn’t become a chronic issue or affect you for years to come.
To do that, you have to not just treat the pain, but have a provider who is willing to figure out WHY the pain happened in the first place.
That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problems.

At Fick PT & Performance We’ve Created A 3-Step Process To Get Rid Of Your Injury AND Make Sure The
Pain Stays Away.

STEP 1

We Find Out What’s Really Going On

Seeing a doctor on the sidelines after getting injured during practice or games can be overwhelming, and feel rushed. There’s pressure to get back into the game as soon as possible and sometimes this becomes a priority over efficient and proper recovery from your injury.

It can even cause your injury to get worse, or increase your risk of reinjury in the future.

This is why our first step, before we do anything, is to find out what’s really going on.

After working with lots of professional athletes, we know that no two injuries are alike.

Each person has a different body, a different history, and different types of pain.

That is why our first step is to have an open conversation and find out where the pain is really coming from, and how it’s affecting your performance and daily life.

That way we get a deep understanding of your specific issue, and can create a unique plan of treatment to get you back to the sports and workouts you love.

STEP 2

We Create A Clear Plan For Successful Recovery

Many times, what treatments you find on the internet for your injury, or even receive from other healthcare professionals, is not going to be enough to eliminate your issue.

The problem is, every professional athlete’s cause of injury is different!

There isn’t a generic treatment program that is going to give you a lasting solution.

You Need A Customized Plan.

Sadly, many professional athletes prolong their time unable to enjoy the sports and workouts they love by doing the wrong treatments. (Maybe you’ve already experienced that…)

A guided customized treatment plan is your answer.

Some Of Our Treatment Options Include:

Physical Therapy

Our physical therapy programs are for any athlete, whether you play recreationally, professionally, or somewhere in between. If you want to return to your desired sport better, faster, and stronger than you were prior to the injury, we’re the right place for you.

Dry Needling

Our dry needling treatments help athletes experiencing muscle tightness, or pain. With dry needling, you can rapidly recover from your latest training session, injury, and prepare for your next competition. Dry needling can get you back to your sport quickly and efficiently

AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill

The Alter G Anti-Gravity Treadmill is perfect for athletes who need to start using their injured lower body before they’re fully recovered. It allows you to get back to your sport faster than ever since you can exercise safely.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy uses a Class IV Lightforce Laser to penetrate deeply into your body stimulating the healing process, reducing muscle spasm and pain, and even decreasing recovery time. This therapy isn’t painful. It actually produces a soothing warmth in the affected area.

X-Rays & MRIs

If you’re injured and want to get an x-ray or MRI the same day, we can help. At Fick Performance & PT you can skip the visit to the emergency room or urgent care clinic to get your imaging and find out what’s going on. Let us streamline your process for you.

dorsaVi Athletic Movement Assessment

The dorsaVi ViPerform is a wearable device with wireless sensors that tracks and measures your movements in real-time while you run or play your sport. The sensors record data from your activity.

Sports Recovery

The body’s ability to recover from frequent workouts and sports is the key to athletic success. When you train hard you put a lot of stress on your body, mind, and nervous system. Our recovery strategies provide the exact same services to our clients typically reserved only for professional athletes. Come take advantage of this special recovery program.

Sports Massage

Sports massage therapy helps athletes who have muscle tightness, pain, or injury. This type of massage provides healing and relief to overused muscles and joints. Adding sports massage to your physical therapy treatment can decrease recovery time by releasing muscle tightness and soreness using a deep tissue massage technique.

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)

Want to get stronger without high intensity training? That’s exactly what BFR training can do for your body. It’s safe and super-effective at accelerating strength improvements without lifting heavy weights. Even if you’re injured, and can’t use a lot of weight right now, BFR can help you get stronger.

STEP 3

Return To Your Active Life As Quickly As Possible

We know that every minute injured and in pain is another minute away from your career and puts your future at risk.

That’s why we use our proven therapy techniques to get you back to the sports and workouts you love as quickly and safely as possible.

Our goal isn’t just to get you back in the game, but to come back stronger and better than before.

Finally Get Rid Of Your Injury And Keep It From Coming Back!

You don’t have to sacrifice the sports you love over problems that can be fixed.
Let’s chat about how we can get you back in the game.

Sincerely,

Dr. Gina Fick
