A few weeks before a big race… every step hurt.

Shin pain during runs. Pain lingering throughout the day. Not exactly the build-up you want heading into something important.

That’s when she reached out to Alpine Fit.

With a focused plan—combining dry needling and hands-on manual therapy—we were able to calm things down quickly, restore load tolerance, and get her back to running with confidence.

Race day? Started strong. Finished pain-free.

What also mattered: we made it work in a tight window—fitting her in last-minute and keeping her updated on cancellations so we didn’t lose momentum.

This is what the right care, at the right time, can do.

Not just symptom relief—real, meaningful change when it counts.

If something’s been lingering (especially with an event on the horizon), don’t wait until it sidelines you.

We’ll help you stay in it. Curious if we can help you? Text or call us to set up a free 15-min Intro Call ☎️: 720-443-1953

What drew Dr. Sarah to Alpine Fit?

A shared belief that pain rarely starts where it shows up.

At Alpine Fit, we look at the whole body — how it moves, compensates, and adapts — so we can address the root cause, not just chase symptoms.

It’s a more thoughtful way to help people move better and stay active for the long run.

I’m Dr. Kyle — founder of Alpine Fit here in Boulder.

Five months ago I had a baby, and like many of our clients, I’m in the process of rebuilding strength thoughtfully so I can maximize my time and optimize my recovery.

One of the tools I’ve been using lately is blood flow restriction (BFR) training.

BFR allows you to challenge muscle and build strength using much lighter loads, which makes it useful in phases where heavy lifting isn’t the right choice yet — postpartum, after surgery, or while recovering from an injury.

In this video I’m pairing TRX work with BFR bands — a simple way to create a meaningful training stimulus without placing unnecessary stress on joints.

At Alpine Fit we use BFR selectively with people who want to restore strength and capacity while respecting where their body is right now.

If you’re curious about the science and when we use it in the clinic, I wrote a full article explaining it.

Thank you for the kind review, Katie 🙌

You live in Boulder to do things — hike longer, play harder, train consistently, and feel good in your body while doing it.

At Alpine Fit, we help your mind and body get back on the same team so pain, stiffness, or recurring injuries stop calling the shots.

Physical therapy shouldn’t feel rushed or generic. It should feel personal, thoughtful, and built around you — your goals, your lifestyle, and the long game of staying active for years to come.

Up to 40% of tendon and joint pain in adults has little to do with injuries or wear and tear. At Alpine Fit we screen for the root cause of achy and stiff joints including causes due to poor metabolic health. Learn more to see if this could be a hidden reason for your joint pain.

Up to 40% of joint pain isn’t due to wear and tear—it’s due to metabolic health. At Alpine Fit in Boulder, our holistic PT addresses root causes like

Then you need to be active, moving, building muscle NOW 💪. We lose 1-2% of our muscle mass every year after 50. And this loss doesn’t just affect doing things you love, at a certain point it even contributes to your ability to be independent. If you’re under 50 you may not have given this much thought but the truth is the muscle you build in your 30s and 40s is foundational for the health you’ll have longterm.

If you’ve been holding back on strengthening because you don’t know the right way or you’re dealing with an injury and not sure how to move forward safely, don’t delay any longer. No matter what your age, building strength and improving your mobility is essential for your *health* span.

One of the best ways you can get started is to join us and for our upcoming workshop on spine health. This hybrid workshop is for you if you’re interested in getting out of pain now and building a strong foundation for your future self. It’s one part Pilates class and one part Doctor-led training to help you understand the root cause behind most back pain and what you can do about it.

🧠 Dry Needling for Pain Relief: Is it Right for You? 🦵

Struggling with muscle tension or chronic pain? Dry needling might be the targeted treatment you’ve been looking for.

At Alpine Fit PT, dry needling is used to release trigger points, relax tight muscles, and promote blood flow to help speed up your recovery. 💡 Unlike traditional acupuncture, dry needling is rooted in modern Western medicine and designed specifically to alleviate musculoskeletal pain.

How does it work?
🩹 Thin, sterile needles are inserted into your muscle tissue. These needles stimulate your body’s natural healing processes by improving circulation and reducing inflammation.

Who benefits from dry needling?
✨ Athletes recovering from overuse injuries
✨ Anyone dealing with muscle pain, stiffness, or mobility issues
✨ People suffering from headaches, neck pain, or back pain

🔑 The goal? Long-lasting pain relief and improved movement so you can get back to doing what you love—without limitations.

Today, we honor and celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day, recognizing the deep-rooted connection that Native communities have with the land we’re privileged to call home. 🌿🏞️ As we practice healing at Alpine Fit, we reflect on the knowledge, traditions, and resilience of Indigenous peoples whose wisdom about the body, nature, and holistic wellness has inspired generations.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the land we move on, and the stories of those who walked before us. ✨
