  • We have three Atomic Performance Centers. Two in Boulder and one in Broomfield. We also have an Atomic Treatment Clinic within the South Boulder Professional Center in South Boulder where we conduct medical treatments such as shockwave & class IV laser. Addresses for each can be found on our contact page.

    Parking is available at each location. For One Boulder Fitness you can park inside the underground One Boulder Plaza parking lot and then validate your parking for a free 2 hours using a ticket providing within the gym.

  • Boulder ‘55 is our core PT session. Our appointments consist of a mix of manual treatment and prescriptive exercise programs. Each person is different and so is their plan. We will always discuss what works best for you each session and adjust accordingly throughout your visits.

  • We want to keep you doing what you love, plain and simple. When you choose Atomic PT for your PT needs, we ensure you are happy from the get go by offering FREE initial consultations so you can meet us and make sure we are the right fit for you. You are guaranteed 1:1 time with Dr. Emma at each appointment along with rehab specific plans to match your activity. Our goal is to keep you doing what you love while improving your pain.

  • Atomic ‘25 is a treatment-specific session, e.g. dry needling, shockwave therapy. Offered at our clinics as quick preventative or post activity recovery-based treatments. Our Atomic ‘25 sessions are perfect for people looking for some treatment embedded into their training and for those not needing full rehabilitation services. These sessions do not contain any form of assessment / evaluation.

  • Once you’ve booked your appointment you will get a link with instructions on how to connect with our booking system, JaneApp. We recommend that you test your microphone and camera on your device before our appointment to make sure it all runs smoothly. Once that’s all set up, find a good space with plenty of room for you to move. Our appointments will include a combination of education and physical activity.

  • Definitely! In fact, we encourage it. Physical therapy is hugely beneficial for prevention and prepping your body for the demands of the future. Have a big race coming up? Starting a new activity? Come see us before training begins so we can identify where you should focus your training to decrease the potential for injury.

  • Absolutely! We cater to everyone in all walks of life.

  • Whatever you are most comfortable in! With your consent, I may have you remove articles of clothing to better view the area we are working on so if you’d prefer to bring a spare change of clothes instead that’s great. Each appointment will likely include some physical activity as well, so we do recommend bringing gym shoes.

  • Absolutely! At Atomic PT we would love to be a part of your journey. We highly recommend physical therapy during and after pregnancy. We want to empower you to feel your best throughout the entire process. Did you know… many symptoms that are present postpartum are actually not normal such as incontinence and pelvic pain? Contact us if you’d like to know more about how we can help you during your pregnancy.

  • You do not need a doctor referral in the state of Colorado. You can book with us directly online, or contact us if you’d like to speak with us first. Easy as that!

  • The only financial difference between cash-pay physical therapy and insurance-based physical therapy is the way in which the service is paid for. We’ve chosen to go strictly cash-pay to provide you with the best care possible and save you money in the long run. Payments are received at the start of each treatment. No co-pays, no insurance claims, no hassle. As a cash-pay clinic we have no restrictions regarding the number of visits, type of visit, and treatment used at each visit. Each session is unique to you and catered to exactly what you need, not what the insurance companies want to see. That’s a much better way to provide a medical service, don’t you think?

  • Our goal is to get you back doing what you love in the shortest amount of time possible. Typically, for non-surgical cases, we anticipate recovery within 6 to 10 visits. We will work together to create the best plan for you and the appropriate frequency of visits to achieve your goals.

  • You can book directly here which will take you to our online booking portal. For first time visits, please choose our FREE 25-minute consultation and fill out all relevant information. This is required before attending your first appointment. You can also contact us here if you have further questions and we will aim to answer your questions with a telephone call within 24 hours.
