[ap.to]
verb (Latin): To make fit, to adapt, to prepare
Apto Physical Therapy was founded with one mission: to address dysfunction from a truly integrative approach, in order to get people back to doing the things they love to do. However, symptoms such as pain and incontinence often impair one’s ability to function at their fullest capacity. When this happens, people tend to decrease their participation in things that fulfill them, which can have serious effects on their mental health and further perpetuate their symptoms.
At Apto Physical Therapy your personalized, one-on-one care will assess you as a whole person, not as a set of symptoms. We will not only address your physical body, but will also look at lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. We provide a truly multi-disciplinary approach, including behavior change coaching, mindfulness practice, and functional nutrition to promote healing. This integrative approach will facilitate your ability to return to your prior level of function with less visits than traditional PT.
It can be difficult to navigate the health care field, especially when you are seeking treatment for persistent pain or symptoms that are private in nature. At Apto Physical Therapy, you will receive sensitive and skilled care from a practitioner who has extensive experience working with people with complex presentations. Together, you and your provider will design a plan of care that fits into your lifestyle and helps you eliminate your symptoms.
We are serving Wheat Ridge, West Denver, Lakewood and Arvada - conveniently located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado inside of Gold’s Marketplace at 26th and Kipling.
