Breckenridge PT: Relieving Neck Pain

Spring Asparagus Risotto Healthy Recipe • 4 cups (1-inch) slices asparagus • 3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth • 1 1/2 cups water • 1 tbsp butter • 2 cup chopped onion (about 1 large)

I absolutely love this place! It’s a family owned business and they’re very attentive to clients needs. They have a great space which includes both physical therapy and personal training. I recently visited for physical therapy to get some help with my IT Band issues. Rashmi really helped me with my injury with acknowledging where my weaknesses were and giving exercises to strengthen and stretches to relieve tightness. Thanks to the Vert family and Rashmi I’m back to running again. I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. - Nicole L

“My foot was stepped on in the gym. Tried to solve the pain by over-the- counter remedies. Nothing worked. I went to the doctor who looked at the x-ray and determined I had achilles tendonitis and Hagland Deformity. PT was authorized and Justin was chos n as my PT. He was hands-on all the time and was able to see that my foot problem also was a lower back problem. With printed exercises to take home and work on, my condition improved after just 9 sessions. I can now wake up in the mornings and get out of bed without any pain. Stretches and manipulations did the trick! I would recommend Justin and BPT to anybody with a medical problem.” - Suzann M.
