Have you ever wondered:

 

How soon is too soon?

Should I wait and see if it just goes away?

Do I need to get x-rays or see a physician first?

 

At One80 Physical Therapy®, we understand that when pain and injury occur, timing is everything. Our experience shows that the optimal window for beginning treatment is within 24 to 48 hours post-injury or onset of pain. Here are four reasons why prompt action is not just beneficial, but crucial for your recovery.

 

Immediate Benefits: Starting therapy within the first 24 to 48 hours significantly reduces inflammation and pain. Early intervention sets the stage for a quicker, more efficient healing process by preventing the body from compensating.

Avoiding Complications: Waiting days to weeks before starting treatment often leads to increased stiffness, reduced mobility, dependance on symptom modification strategies  (medication, ice, tape, rest, stretching) that delay return to daily activity. Early care with the One80 System® helps increase strength and proprioception which speeds recovery.

Imaging Isn’t the Answer: While imaging (X-rays, MRIs) can be useful for specific cases, they rarely change the initial recovery process. In many cases, early treatment at One80 eliminates the need for imaging and MD visits. *Remember, you don’t need a referral for physical therapy in Colorado (except for Medicare).

Solutions, Not Just Diagnosis: Did you know that a diagnosis is just a medical term for your symptoms, it doesn’t solve the problem. The One80 System’s goal is to identify the root cause of your injury and provide a custom solution that gets you back to your activity day one.

 

Patients that stick with the 24-48 hour rule are amazed with how fast their pain goes away. To avoid extending your recovery time, call our team at One80 when injury occurs and let us guide you through a quick and effective recovery plan.

If you have a friend, teammate or family member experiencing pain and injury, have them contact us immediately to set up a FREE consultation. Let’s work together towards a speedy and comprehensive recovery.

The road to recovery, and the path to prevention, shouldn’t be a solo sprint. At One80 Physical Therapy®, we’re the setting the pace in rehabilitating runners and keeping them injury-free.

Shin splints, Achilles tendinitis, runner’s knee, plantar fasciitis — these are common issues that can derail your training. But why settle for the typical treatments and limited results? The patented One80 System® has replaced passive stretching with dynamic warm up, massage with active muscle re-education, inserts with barefoot exercise, and ‘rest’ with… running!

Here’s the cold hard truth, conventional PT is an expensive and time-consuming way to runaround symptoms. At One80 PT we’ve flipped the script. Our methods focus on finding the cause, reversing it, educating you how to progress all while keeping you active with your training.

But, One80 doesn’t stop there. Our goal is to help you maximize your performance with exercise strategies, biomechanics assessments and one on one attention you won’t get from the typical PT, chiropractor, or massage therapist. The result? You run faster, run longer, run stronger and keep running without setbacks.

A New Paradigm in Physical Therapy

Forget what you think you know about physical therapy because The One80 System® is rewriting the rules. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill treatment approach, it’s a patented revolution in how we view and treat the human body.

Why patent a physical therapy method? Because innovation that works this well deserves protection. The One80 System is a proprietary blend of techniques designed to optimize human movement in ways that conventional PT, chiropractic, or massage therapy can’t touch.

Does the One80 System work for everyone? It’s a bold claim, but the idea is simple: when you correct the root of dysfunction, the benefits ripple outward, and symptoms disappear. Whether you’re an athlete or someone just looking to move better around the house, the principles used at One80 Physical Therapy® apply universally.

What sets One80 System providers apart isn’t just what we do, it’s how we do it. This isn’t about temporary fixes or surface-level treatments that most practitioners settle for. It’s a holistic approach that combines an understanding of neuromuscular physiology, biomechanics and anatomy with critical thinking and focus on individual patients. It’s the difference between putting a band-aid on a problem and actually solving it.

When it comes to success rates, the One80 System doesn’t hide behind vague subjective reports. Success is measured in improved function, increased strength, restored stability and enhanced motion. It’s about real results that allow you to return to activities that were previously off-limits.

Intrigued? You should be. The One80 System is more than a treatment, it’s a Revolution. You are a click away from breaking free from quick fixes and experiencing sustainable health.

The One80 System isn’t just a change in direction, it’s a complete game changer! And it’s time you joined us.

There have been a lot of posts out there both for and against manual therapy. We are partly in between, but more on the side of anti-manual therapy. We will be talking about the conventional version of manual therapy and what it does. In addition, we will also touch on why we don’t necessarily support it.

Our Positioning

When a physical therapist, massage therapist or chiropractor tends to their therapy, they are getting physiological effects. But they are considered detrimental to injury recovery and prevention. The manual techniques are causing damage to the tissue in order to cover up symptoms or increase range of motion/ decrease muscle spasms. The overwhelming majority of manual therapy does not attack the root cause of symptoms. This is why people have to keep going back to them. If anything it’s making them worse.

The Science Behind it

Manipulation is designed to “put the bones back in place.” We would say that’s bogus. If you look at the decades worth of research that’s been done on that, we already know that it does not work. Another form of manual therapy is mobilization. It might increase the acute joint range of motions. We do use mobilizations to get into an acute range of motion, but then we attack the root cause after that. Other forms: stretching, massage and Graston– decrease pain in some situations. But the question is: at the physiological base, what is going on to increase the range of motion? Probably decreasing neuromuscular function, which doesn’t make this bogus, but definitely contradictive.

Our Version of Manual Therapy

If we look at what we do here at One80 Physical Therapy® with manual therapy, it’s the opposite of these processes are trying to do. What we are trying to do is increase neuromuscular facilitation with the use of our hands. Anytime you put your hands on someone its manual therapy. So that’s why throwing everything into the manual therapy bucket and saying its bogus is something that we do not support. When a patient comes back to see us, we expect them to be better than they were when they left us. That’s why we see patients for a minimal amount of time and they get fast lasting results.
