Modern Movement Clinic - Golden

A colleague of a colleague recommended Jesse and I can see why. Jesse treats the whole person which is evident by him sending me to get imaging before working with me so we knew what we were working with. He’s helped me grow more confident working the area of my injury and helped me believe I can return to run at any level I wish. He answers my panic-messages with compassion and reassures me I am doing everything I can to heal. Jesse is also so much fun to work with and you only work with him — no PT aides — which is a huge benefit of his practice structure. I would (and have!) recommend Jesse to everyone!

Absolutely wonderful! I am a physical therapist and runner, and I live 4 hours from Denver. After more than a year of struggling with a hamstring injury that I just could not fix on my own, I researched and found Jesse. I swallowed my pride and scheduled an appointment with him. Jesse was able to not only calm my fears of never running again, but was able to get me running immediately with some exercises, explanation, and preventative instructions. In fact, I signed up for his regular strength workouts and they are fantastic! He addresses the injury, the person, and their goals. I’m now looking forward to more PR’s!

Jesse is phenomenal! What sets him apart for me from other places I’ve tried, is that he truly and intently listens to your issues, concerns, problems and tailors a treatment plan to help you. I believe he cares deeply about his patients and their ability to get back to doing the things they love. Jesse helped me work through plantar fasciitis, was patient with my questions, and adapted the treatment plan as we went through ups and downs. His treatment doesn’t just end when you walk out the door, he checks in and follows up to see how you are doing and make sure to answer questions you may have. After working with Jesse, I was able to get back to running and the things I love to do and with his help, to be better than I was before. As time has gone on, I continue to go back to Jesse for maintenance or new issues as they pop up and he always remembers conversations we’ve had and checks in on how things are going.

I've been coming to Modern Movement Clinic for a couple of years. Initially for help with an injury (which was more than excellent, as here is someone who is incredibly good in what he does!) and later I switched to strength training, which I've now been doing for about a year. And I'm so happy with where that got me! I feel stronger than I ever have been, my balance is tons better than before, I've had a lot of fun, and in between all of that I can notice the effects while running and bike riding as well as in day to day things. I've done both the in-person and online programming because I traveled a lot this year, and I've enjoyed both a lot. It's varied, it's challenging (in a good way! :-)), I've never felt bored with what I was doing and I'm always happy that I get to do another workout. I couldn't recommend it, or any Modern Movement Clinic offerings!, any higher. Thank you Jesse!

I consulted with Dr. Riley after a skiing injury ACL tear, and I felt incredibly relieved speaking to someone who understood me and my recovery goals. Dr. Jesse gave me a menu of options of how I could tackle my injury and after speaking with him, I felt confident enough to advocate for myself to avoid knee surgery (which might not the right option for everyone, but definitely was for me!). Dr. Jesse made sure I was supported throughout my recovery process and given the tools to succeed with the path I chose for myself. Dr. Jesse is a very well-informed, thoughtful, and attentive person and was a huge asset to me in my ACL recovery.

Jesse is an amazing practitioner and person, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is knowledgeable, brilliant, kind, and an unbelievably good listener. I felt valued and heard during our appointments, and it was clear that Jesse genuinely cared about me and helping me to recover from injury and reach my goals. Jesse comprehensively reviewed my biomechanics and gave me targeted exercises that made an immediate positive impact in my recovery after I spent months struggling to address the issue on my own. I'm sure you will be blown away by his level of care and support. Thanks for everything, Jesse!!

I was so frustrated with Achilles pain and after many different types of treatment, found Dr. Jesse. I appreciated how he listened to my concerns, running history, and treatment history to create a plan that I felt confident would result in improvement based on his experience. I've been so happy with the progress I am seeing so far and feel that he treated the root cause that will not only eliminate my pain but allow me to fully return to the activity level I desire. I highly recommend Modern Movement Clinic!

We love Dr. Jesse Riley at Modern Movement Clinic. Our daughter was referred to him in early 2023 by her orthopedic sports medicine doctor. She had suffered a sacral stress fracture from running in the fall of 2021 and had a very hard time getting back to her full running potential. She went to multiple PTs and seemed to have one nagging issue after another while trying to compete in her high school cross-country and track seasons. Jesse spent so much time listening and investigating and knew immediately what to do. PT sessions and work at home helped her gain strength and confidence and she ended her high school running career on a very positive note. She spent the summer after graduation doing training sessions with Jesse twice a week, building strength in preparation for her college cross-country season. I am happy to report that she is having an incredible season and running more miles than ever. Loves every minute of her practices and meets and has unbelievable confidence. I should also mention that Jesse is hilarious. His positive and infectious personality makes him a great fit to work with literally anyone and everyone. He became so much more than a PT and trainer for our daughter. He is a life coach in so many ways! We cannot recommend him enough.
