Prajna Physical Therapy and Therapeutic Yoga

I’m a cyclist who has lower back pain on longer rides. Anahise gave me a soft tissue massage before one of my biggest rides and the results were amazing. I was relaxed and my muscles felt fully flushed out. I wish I lived in Leadville so I could see her on a regular basis. In addition to the excellent massage, she had a depth of knowledge through her education and gave me some great stretches as well as some ideas to help my wife with her sciatica. Thank you!

I'm a cyclist that suffered from chronic back and shoulder pain for a little over a year. It got so bad that at one point I had to walk climbs after about 14 miles. Working with Anahise has been amazing; after four months I am now able to ride all day with no to minimal pain. I appreciate that she takes an entire hour to work with you, and at the initial session she took the time to listen to my concerns and write down and consider a thorough history before starting - she truly uses a holistic approach. At each session, she assesses how things are going, and, if I have concerns about a particular exercise, she listens and adjusts as needed. The cost is the same no matter what techniques (eg dry needling, manual adjustments) are used during each session. I highly recommend Anahise because she is an thorough and effective physical therapist, and overall a nice and thoughtful human.

Plain and simple, Anahise is wonderful. I was in Leadville for almost a month, and wanted to continue PT while in town. I am so glad I found Anahise. The first moment I called to see if she was accepting new patients, she immediately gave me 20 mins of her time, simply asking questions to understand my personal situation. Upon arriving at my first appointment, I immediately felt at ease. She assessed me, worked on me, and gave me 'homework assignments'. I am not sure I've ever felt more 'heard' with a healthcare professional than I felt with Anahise. She is kind, smart, a lovely person, a wonderful listener, good at her job, and a healer. I am so fortunate to have found her during my time in Leadville.

Great experience. Listens intently to what you feel you need and provides feedback. Not your regular run of the mill go through the motions massage. Highly recommend if you’re in Leadville.

I am an 80 year old physician with muscle weakness, mostly in my legs, from years of underuse and balance issues related to old age. I can not say enough about Anahise. I would love to have hands on treatment but unfortunately, living in on the east coast, I can only see her virtually. She is extremely knowledgeable about the body. She is very professional while being compassionate, warm and understanding. She is creative in prescribing my exercises so that I don't get frustrated or bored. Also very helpful to me is her patient and supportive manner. What more can I say? Oh yes; she also has a good sense of humor and outlook on life. The time spent with her is invaluable. Now if I would only do the exercises . . . I most highly recommended her Leo Shapiro, M.D.

I had persistent pain and numbness in my hands for a year. VailSummit Ortho told me it was carpal tunnel, that PT wouldn't help and I needed surgery. I went to Anahise because she had so many great reviews. She peformed a thorough examination and discovered that the issue was in my neck and pecs. After a couple months of dry needling, E-Stim, stretches and exercises, I was completely cured of my symptoms. I know PT doesn't fix every problem, but I'm so glad I sought out a non-invasive approach before undergoing irreversible (and it turns out unnecessary) surgery! Anahise is amazing!!

Anahise of Prajna Physical Therapy was fantastic! I was in Leadville for the Leadville 100 mountain bike race, and really sore from traveling. On short notice Anahise was available for a massage and bodywork session which got the blood circulating in my legs and helped me open up breathing, in the high altitude! She has a wonderful healing touch, but can also dig in for deep tissue. Then I felt great on race day.

Working with Annahise was great, she has a very welcoming and calm demeanor, as well as a curiosity for the human body and how to heal pain. Being a client, it was very apparent she wanted to find where the discomfort was coming from, and it made me feel very taken care of when she wrote everything down to remember for later appointments. I have had my back pain for around four years. Annahise helped me understand my anatomy and why my pain was there and began to prescribe me exercices to strengthen the muscles around my spine. With these exercises in my tool box, as well as a couple dry needling sessions, I was pain free within a month of seeing her!
