Take Charge Physical Therapy

Kayta’s care for me the past two has been the most significant factor in my return to a pain-free active life of travel and caring for our ranch. When I was 63, upon retiring after 40+ years in commercial construction, my first splurge was not on a grand vacation or a big house project, both activities my wife and I often discussed and planned, but was focused on eradicating the increasing pain in my lower back and hips, which sadly made those other dreams seem unattractive and increasingly unobtainable. So my first retirement “project” was a series of stem cell and PRP treatments over several months; although it did help, the relief obtained wasn’t to the level that I still hoped was possible, and seemed necessary to regain my confidence in taking on high-level physical activities. So I next went for the total hip replacement, tackling the worst side first; thankfully it did take care of that hip’s pain… but my back pain was still nagging me, and the hip surgery had so greatly reduced my lower-body strength that I’d not regained much enthusiasm for those other dreamed-for activities. What finally seemed to stem the tide, thankfully, came from almost off-handed recommendations from both providers: “you should find a good physical therapist”. I was skeptical, having tried a few PT providers when my back first started really hurting 10+ years prior… but I’d only seen limited improvements. I decided to give PT one more shot, however, because I’d recently heard such good things about Take Charge Physical Therapy from a long-time friend who had suffered from debilitating back and neck pain for most of her adult life, finally obtaining relief from their practice. So I started with Take Charge in August 2022, and to my surprise, started to see improvement in both pain reduction and returning strength/function of my lower body, even within a few months, which of course motivated me to continue. Soon it became obvious that Katya’s PT treatments would be the primary driver in my steady return to where I was enjoying my ranch work and travel again, regaining the confidence and capacity that I used to take for granted when I was younger. My wife I are now enjoying our travel dreams, and I’m doing ranch projects I’ve been hesitant to tackle for years. Looking back, I’m convinced that most of my progress to healing has been due to Katya’s care at Take Charge, even to the point that I think I may have even obtained this level of success without the stem/PRP and the hip replacement… or at least I’m now convinced that I won’t need to replace the other hip. And currently, although I’m at a point of self-sustaining care, I still look forward to Katya’s treatments, not only because of her role in addressing those little surprises that show up in the aging process, but also because of her depth of knowledge in anything related to muscles, tendons, and bones (to be expected from a doctorate of physical therapy from CU Anschutz), and so many other facets of overall healthily living. For any of my friends who seriously want to reduced nagging muscle pain and to address their overall health, I can’t recommend Katya enough.

Kendra has always been incredible when I see her, but I have been working with Katya for a few months now and miracles have occurred. I have had neuropathy for years as type 2 diabetic. About the only medication that seems to lower the pain enough to sleep well is 100 mg of Tramadol before bed. Katya has been working on my feet with needling and massage for blood flow, and the results have been astonishing. For the first time in years, I am able to sleep and walk around without pain medication. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

Highly experienced, professional, attentive, and caring physical therapists. I drive every Monday to see Kandra and Scott from Denver and it is worth every two hours that I spend on the road! Kandra created her own techniques that have been tested over the years to treat any sorts of dysfunction. She is an expert at dry needling, especially the 24 points. Scott's treatments have also been a game changer. He uses a new revolutionary approach that treats the body as a unit through movement patterns. He deviates from the standard treatments that you would get from an average physical therapist. So, if your current physical therapist is not working out for you then go see Kandra or Scott! They both go out of their way each time to put patient centered care first.

I am so impressed with Take Charge Physical Therapy, and in particular, Dr. Scott Jones. If you check out his Bio, you will learn about his passion for seeing people break free from their physical barriers. After just one visit, Scott gave me 'homework' to help me strengthen and correct areas that were out of wack. He followed up with an email including directions and reminders on how to implement these exercises correctly. In short, I highly recommend Scott, he is fantastic!

Scott is amazing! He is very knowledgeable and gets to the root of the cause. He gave me simple drills to increase mobility in my thoracic spine and shoulders and they worked! He is very passionate about helping people get better and truly cares. I highly recommend him!

Scott’s kind manner makes receiving PT wisdom so easy. He is thorough in studying movement patterns for long term success. He has already helped my neck, lower back / SI joint and making headway on carpel tunnel symptoms in my hands. What a great addition to an already winning team at Take Charghe PT. Thank you Scott!

Dr Scott is a kind and compassionate human being as well as a thorough and knowledgeable PT expert. He listens carefully, he treats the issue holistically and his follow-up with handouts on exercises is most helpful. I have been impressed with his care and and am most appreciative!

Dr. Scott Jones fixed a nagging wrist problem in about 15 minutes! I was having trouble with it during overhead squats, and he offered to take a look. He saw that the real issue was tightness in pec minor and lats. So we worked on those and he showed me some exercises to do on my own. Then I lifted the barbell again and what do you know, the pain was totally gone! He knows his stuff and it works. Highly recommended.
