The Performance Shift | Sports Physical Therapy & Performance

Alice was highly recommended to us by an experienced ATC and dear friend of ours. She treated our son Troy for his first injury of his high school career. Alice’s expertise not only fully rehabbed his physical needs as a PT, but she also helped our teenager through much of his emotional and psychological struggles that came with the injury and absence from athletics. Troy looked forward to PT and was always challenged by Alice. Every session was thoughtfully planned and time was used efficiently. Her dynamic and balanced approach showed clear evidence that she understood the expectations of his sport and the specific movement within his position. Alice works from the heart and wants the best for all of her patients. We love Alice and would recommend her to any of our family and friends!

Alice is amazing! Truly I can’t recommend the Performance Shift enough. I was training for my first marathon and she really went above and beyond to tailor training schedules and stretches. I felt honestly great throughout the whole training process and race, which I really attribute to her recommendations. Alice is so fun! She clearly knows how the body works, what we need for recovery, and how to prevent injury. I’ll definitely be going to the Performance Shift again!

I can’t say enough good things about Alice. Not only is she an excellent physical therapist, she is an amazing person! I brought my teenage daughter in to see Alice and she made her feel comfortable right away. Alice paid close attention to details, verbal and physical, and started my daughter off on a return to sport plan. Alice checked in with my daughter and me throughout the process. She would send a text the day after a session to see how my daughter was feeling and if there was any pain, discomfort, etc. Alice actually cares about the people she works with. I’ve been to a few physical therapists over the years and you always feel like a number. They have to check their notes in a computer to remind themselves about who you are and what they’re treating you for. Alice treats you like family. You become a part of her so all the information about you, personal and physical, is right there in her brain. Alice also offered nutritional advice, helped my daughter with the mental side of injury and recovery and was encouraging and positive throughout the process. Alice has the most infectious personality! My daughter loved being around her. She actually looked forward to her sessions because she not only saw progress after each visit, she just loves Alice. I recently reached out to Alice about a recommendation for a trainer for my son and she has gone above and beyond in helping us find the right fit. She is so well connected in that area and more importantly, I trust her judgment completely. She only recommends the best people, that know their stuff and know how to train at a high level. I could go on and on and on. You will not be disappointed if you choose to work with Alice. She’s simply the best!

Alice is the best PT I have worked with yet. I was hesitant to start up again with another PT from prior experiences, but she proved me wrong right away. I was very impressed during my consultation. Alice went very in-depth on my history, symptoms, prior treatments etc and her wealth of knowledge is very noticeable. Nobody has ever spent that much time getting the full picture. This shows up consistently every appointment where she takes her time with me and I don't feel like our time is being rushed. I've seen results in my lifting and volleyball performance since starting her program...lifting heavier, increased vertical and speed, and feeling more confident again in my overall performance. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat!!

Shout out to the team at The Performance Shift! Thanks Alice Barnes for helping navigate this path of PT. She truly is a gifted physical therapist. She quickly diagnosed my problems. We then, worked together to develop a treatment plan. She connected me with the best doctors, expedited those appointments, and advocated on my behalf. I can’t thank her enough for all she has done. The absolute best physical therapist in Colorado. I cannot recommend her enough.

Alice has helped me so much! Alice takes a very thoughtful holistic approach to sports medicine. I am a 53 year old who loves endurance mountain bike racing events. Alice worked with me to assess specific weaknesses, injuries, and other concerns. Then she crafted a therapy program to help me succeed in a sustainable way. Alice is super smart, creative and thorough. I give her the highest possible rating and encourage you to work with her.

Alice worked with my daughter, a dancer, to address certain weaknesses that were holding her back, but also putting her on the verge of an injury. Alice was amazing at helping my daughter in a professional and fun way. My daughter was excited to practice and looked forward to seeing Alice each time. Alice truly has a gift for helping athletes get to their best physical form. She is knowledgeable, sweet, a great listener and an excellent coach!

Alice is the most knowledgeable PT that I have ever worked with! She truly understands the human body and how everything is connected. My injuries have stumped people in the past…but not Alice. She instantly understood what was causing my pain ...even when it wasn't at the location of the pain. She is also one of the nicest and most caring medical professionals, always making you feel at ease and comfortable while in your session. I couldn’t recommend her any more!
