Empower Physical Therapy & Pilates

Empower has been delightful since the moment I first stepped in the door! You are invited in with a warm welcome from every person and they have a cute little sign to welcome new customers or even highlight someone’s birthday. It feels like a lovely boutique! Karena is wonderful at Pilates; each session feels tailor made for your personal needs and goals. One of the biggest values I see is her expertise in making sure you perform the exercise to the best of your ability every time while continuing to help you improve for Pilates and everyday life. I feel confident with her direction and guidance. While I didn’t get the chance to have Dr. Alyssa for PT, I have had the opportunity to have some Pilates sessions from her as well. She brings in her own unique gems and style to the Pilates session while continuing the focus on form and tailoring for your personal needs. Both instructors have provided me with great exercises and tools to use at home! I have found Pilates to be so fun and rewarding, they have been great as I continue to improve from an injury. As I progress, I’m excited to start incorporating their group classes (I’ll be going to my first one soon!). I enjoy everyone who works here, the ladies at the front desk are a joy to talk to and I leave with a big smile on face every time!

My experience at Empower PT and Pilates has been great. As soon as I found out that I needed a major surgery I knew that I needed a plan for my body. I was really scared of declining physically after a surgery and the 12 weeks of recovery post-surgery. During my consultation appointment I worked with an amazing physical therapist to create a treatment plan specific to my concerns and situation. We got started before I had surgery and I was prepared with tons of tips and techniques to ensure that my recovery went as smooth as possible. The staff have all been excellent. They are caring, knowledgeable and supportive. I've always felt listened to and involved with decisions for my treatment. Not only have I recovered from surgery, I'm now stronger than I was before surgery and continuing to improve each week. Empower has truly been an ally to me on my journey to recovery and wellness. Thank you!!

This is the second time I’ve been through pelvic floor PT and the experience at Empower was night and day better than a general PT practice with a physical therapist who knew a few things about pelvic floor but didn’t specialize in that area. The entire process was educational, helpful in ways I wouldn’t have expected, and just wonderful. And best of all- helped me heal! All women should seek out pelvic floor PT to heal after giving birth. I would whole-heartedly recommend Empower to anyone looking for a specialist!

Amazing, highly recommend. They've helped me so much with my chronic arm and shoulder issues, both via PT and one-on-one rehab Pilates. They do issue superbills you can submit to your insurance, which helps. Lovely staff and instructors. It would be nice if they were able to offer weekend classes and sliding scale rates to make it more accessible, because what they do is pretty magical.

I am so overdue in leaving my review for Empower PT & Pilates and the amazing people I worked with when I lived in the Denver metro area. For a few years I went to Empower 2-3 times a week and it changed how I felt in my body, and how my body responded to increased activity all post-COVID, post-kids, and post-40s. Karena, Casey, Alyssa, and Arielle -- thank you all for being such wonderful teachers and PTs who are passionate about healthy and strong pelvic floors. You helped me lay the incredible groundwork (literally!) that has allowed me to really regain the level of activity I had known in my 20s. I miss you all!

I am grateful I found Empower PT and Pilates last year. Karena is a knowledgeable, detailed, and attentive instructor. I have learned so much about proper body alignment and ways to continue to build strength without pain or injury. Thank you Empower PT.

Words don't fully express how grateful I am to have found the Empower PT & Pilates team!!! After unsuccessfully attempting things on my own for years since having my kiddos, in 8 weeks my core feels stronger and my DR gap is shrinking. The staff and pilates instructors are beyond amazing. Dr Alyssa is incredibly knowledgeable and provides gentle guidance per each individual's need. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

I love Empower Pilates and working with Karena O'Rourke! Everyone who works at this studio is so personal, kind and caring. Karena is extremely knowledgeable and customizes every session to me (some days I have pain or weakness) and always is in tune with my body and its progress. An added bonus...we have the same name! Highly recommend this Pilates studio!
