It’s not just about seeing how you move. It’s about having a team there with you, guiding you through stretches and exercises, answering questions, and helping you understand what your body can do today and where it can get stronger.

Our staff works alongside members through a range of movements to better understand how they move now and to build strength that carries into the activities they care about most. Whether it means more days on the mountain, longer rides, or simply feeling better during everyday movement, hands-on guidance can make a real difference in how your body holds up during ski season and beyond.

A look behind the scenes at a Functional Movement Screen (FMS) in action.

These screenings are all about understanding how your body moves as a whole. By looking at foundational movement patterns, we can spot restrictions or compensations early and use that information to guide smarter training, better recovery, and more confidence in whatever activities you love most.

It’s a simple but powerful way to check in with your movement, reduce injury risk, and build a stronger foundation for the long run. We love creating space for these kinds of sessions and helping our community stay active, capable, and moving well year-round.

Scoliosis is more than just a curve in the spine. It’s a complex, three-dimensional condition that often develops during periods of growth and can affect posture, breathing, muscle balance, and overall comfort over time.

Schroth Therapy offers a proactive, exercise-based approach to scoliosis and kyphosis care. Rather than waiting for changes to occur, treatment focuses on posture correction, targeted breathing, strength, and stability to help manage symptoms and slow progression. This specialized care is available at the Avon clinic and is tailored to each individual.

If you or your child has scoliosis and want to explore supportive, movement-based care, learn more or request a consultation here:

Tight muscles, recurring pain, or limited range of motion can sometimes come from trigger points that won’t release on their own. When muscles stay in a protective tension state, they can affect how the rest of the body moves and feels.

Trigger Point Dry Needling is a technique used by specially trained physical therapists to target these areas directly. It’s based in Western medicine and is not acupuncture. Many patients report decreased pain, improved mobility, and easier movement, often alongside their broader physical therapy plan.

This treatment is available at all Axis locations in Summit and Eagle County. Learn more or schedule a visit here:

Get to know Axis Ambassador Jah Spriggs 🎿🎣

Say hello to John, better known as Jah Spriggs. A lifelong Colorado local, world-class skier, and professional fly-fishing guide, Jah has spent more than three decades chasing snow and powder lines across the West. His career includes standout film appearances in Here After, The Book of Pow, and Must Be Nice, highlighting both his signature style and long-term resilience in the sport.

When winter fades, Jah swaps skis for a fly rod. Fishing has been part of his life since childhood, and today he guides on some of Colorado’s most iconic rivers. He calls skiing and fishing the perfect balance, one driven by adrenaline, the other by focus and presence.

After multiple surgeries over the years, Jah credits physical therapy and strength work with Axis Sports Medicine in Silverthorne for keeping him moving and doing what he loves. Most recently, he’s brought that same mountain knowledge into real estate, helping others find their place in the Colorado lifestyle.

Yesterday, we teamed up with VNTRbirds for a Functional Movement Screen (FMS) session in Silverthorne, and the turnout was awesome.

Participants had the chance to move through a series of fundamental patterns that help identify imbalances, mobility limitations, and areas that could increase injury risk. From there, the screening provides valuable insight into how to train smarter, build strength more intentionally, and support long-term performance and injury prevention.

Thanks to everyone who joined us. We’re always excited to support opportunities that help our mountain community move better and stay active!

A fall, collision, or hard impact on the slopes can leave more behind than just soreness. Concussions affect far more than just the head, and getting the right care early can make a meaningful difference in recovery.

Physical therapy after a concussion focuses on guided movement, balance, vision, neck involvement, and safely reintroducing activity. Early, symptom-guided care is now shown to improve recovery time and help reduce lingering symptoms like dizziness, headaches, or difficulty concentrating. Rest alone is no longer the standard.

If you or someone you know has experienced a concussion, early evaluation matters. Learn more about concussion care or schedule an appointment here:

Get to know Axis Ambassador Red Gerard! 🏂

Red is a professional snowboarder who grew up right here in Silverthorne and first captured the world’s attention at the 2018 Winter Olympics, becoming the youngest American snowboarder to win Olympic gold. Since then, he’s continued to raise the bar with consistent performances, creative riding, and a deep love for the sport that started when he was just two years old.

In recent years, Red has added back-to-back X Games Slopestyle gold medals, multiple Dew Tour wins, and an official qualification for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan–Cortina. Alongside competition success, he’s also made his mark in backcountry filming, showcasing his evolving style and passion for storytelling on snow.

We love seeing a local Summit County athlete leading the next generation of snowboarding, and we’re proud to have Red as a longtime member of the Axis Ambassador team!
