Stay active, stay strong, stay injury-free.
Nobody likes getting hurt. Whether you're an athlete, a fitness enthusiast or simply someone who enjoys staying active, the risk of injury can always be a concern.
At Back2Movement in Wheat Ridge, serving the Denver metro area, we specialize in injury prevention strategies designed to keep you moving and doing what you love, without the setbacks.
Why injury prevention matters.
The longer you take part in an activity, the greater the potential for injury. But stopping the activities you love isn't the solution, and it doesn't have to be. Instead, injury prevention focuses on:
- Identifying potential weaknesses. Finding areas where your body is vulnerable to strain or overuse.
- Addressing movement patterns. Correcting inefficient or sensitizing movements that could lead to pain or injury.
- Building resilience. Strengthening key muscles, improving mobility and enhancing stability to minimize injury risk.
A personalized approach.
Dr. Westover brings extensive knowledge of movement mechanics, injury risks and performance to every patient's care. He builds a custom program around your activities, goals and needs, whether you're training for a marathon, hitting the gym or enjoying recreational sports. Your program will:
- Fit your routine. Easy to understand and build into your daily life or training schedule.
- Fix energy leaks. Address the inefficiencies that lead to strain or injury.
- Protect what's most at risk. Strengthen and stabilize the areas most prone to overuse for your specific activities.
PRP & Ozone Therapy
Treatment options that support healing.
For some stubborn tendon, ligament and joint problems, these injection-based options can complement an active recovery plan.
They're not right for everyone. We start with an assessment, review your history and goals, and only recommend them when they're a good fit.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma uses concentrated healing factors from your own blood to support tissue repair.
Ozone Therapy
An oxygen-based treatment that may help calm inflammation and support recovery.
Is it right for me?
