Comprehensive, Collaborative Rehabilitation Services
At Physical Medicine of the Rockies, we provide a number of rehabilitative services to offer patients a comprehensive recovery experience. These state-of-the-art services include:
- Physical Therapy: The comprehensive physical therapy treatment you’ll receive at PMR includes strength training, flexibility training and postural maintenance. We’ll help you transfer the skill sets you hone during therapy to a home exercise program, and we’ll provide education on proper biomechanics so you can continue treating your body well as you heal.
- Occupational Therapy: Our occupational physical therapist can help you get back to work after an injury or procedure. We focus on upper limb tasks for carryover into accomplishing activities of daily living, hand and nerve therapies, desensitization, massaging scar tissue, and assessment for cognitive impairment. We can also provide ergonomic evaluations of your workplace (on-site and off-site), and we perform Functional Capacity Evaluations on all our patients to be certain you’re truly ready to return to work safely.
- Durable Medical Equipment (DME): Our team can assess your individual need for durable medical equipment during your recovery, including crutches, canes, and wheelchairs. We offer personalized fitting for this equipment, as well as instruction on appropriate use.
- Psychotherapy: Like the professional athlete who chooses to work with a sport psychologist to maximize their performance, PMR offers behavioral health care to augment one’s ability to cope with impairment and give you skills to fulfill your goals.
- Electromyography (EMG): Our team of physiatrists uses electromyographic technology and implements ultrasound diagnostic imaging to provide you with the most accurate diagnosis possible. This technology also allows us to provide injections with ultrasound guidance, giving us a direct window into your body.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is electromyography?
Electromyography is an exciting electrodiagnostic testing technology that records the electrical activity produced by your muscle tissue. The test is minimally or non-invasive -- our physician will attach electrodes to your skin or insert them into your muscle depending on your needs. Then, the electromyograph will reflect your muscle activity to your physician on a physical display. Your physician will use this data to determine whether your muscles and nerves are functioning normally or abnormally.
How can psychotherapy help me recover from an injury, surgery or condition?
Our team firmly believes that the recovery process is not only physical, but mental and behavioral. An experienced, compassionate psychotherapist can help you overcome these mental obstacles. Psychotherapy is hard work, but it offers you long-lasting results that will leave you feeling confident in your recovery.
How will your team work with my other medical providers?
At PMR, we pride ourselves on a collaborative, comprehensive approach to patient care. Your surgeon, physiatrist, physical therapist, and any other medical professionals involved in your care will communicate closely with each other and your primary care physician to ensure that everyone who takes part in your treatment is on the same page -- including you.
