I've been dealing with a pinched nerve in my dominant arm for the past two years, and it has significantly affected my quality of life and my ability to work out. Before coming to Rise, I went through physical therapy twice using my insurance and spent thousands of dollars, but I never felt like I was getting real answers or lasting results.
In just three months of working with Dr. Jess, I've seen a dramatic improvement in my symptoms. This is the first time I've truly felt heard, understood, and genuinely helped. Dr. Jess has an incredible depth of knowledge and focuses on finding and addressing the root cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms.
I highly recommend seeing Dr. Jess at Rise if you're dealing with pain or mobility issues and are looking for someone who truly cares about helping you get better.

If you are looking for physical therapy, STOP! Just book a session here. I spent months at another clinic for knee pain. After a single session, Josh got me on the path to a pain free knee (symptoms started to go away after my first week). Josh helped me get to the root cause (hips and muscle imbalances), and we have been working on it since. He’s even been willing to switch it up and work on shoulder pain from a torn AC joint from a bike accident. I’m super impressed! Book it! Just come prepared to do the work!

I was a regular client of Dr. Jessica Johnson at Rise Rehabilitation for both pre-hab and re-hab of a total hip replacement for approximately 4 months. From our first meeting, Dr. Johnson impressed me as knowledgeable and professional. Throughout our time together, she shared what would happen during my surgery and what I might expect afterward. She was consistently positive, encouraging, and empowering. She is an excellent listener. She met me where I was–both physically and with my questions–so I always felt at ease in her care. Dr. Johnson has a strong command of anatomy, movement, injury, healing, and so much more. I grew to depend on her expertise and am continuing to work with her even though I'm now back to most of my regular activities. I highly recommend Rise and Dr. Johnson in particular!

Can't recommend Josh and the Rise team enough. I came in for nagging hip and shoulder issues from years of baseball and powerlifting that were holding me back from doing anything meaningful in the gym. Josh performed a thorough upper and lower body assessment to figure out what the actual root issues were and gave me an action plan to address those issues. The hip and shoulder are now feeling great, and I've been able to get back to spending quality time getting stronger in the gym.
At Rise, you get personalized, quality time with experts, and the results speak for themselves.

I highly recommend Rise PT. I came in due to plantar fascitits and I wanted to avoid surgery. Dr. Josh figured out my foot pain was from a lot of glute weakness and gave me some great exercises to strengthen the glutes. Dr. Josh is really good at explaining the biomechanics of what's going on and why you should do certain exercises. I'm mostly pain free now and my hip mechanics have improved a ton. The sessions do cost more money than your traditional PT clinics that go through insurance, but the quality is far superior and now I'm able to avoid an expensive surgery.

Josh at Rise was tremendously impactful through my recovery. Going through any injury is frustrating and impactful, having a teammate to guide you to throughout it makes a difference. Immediately walking into the doors you know that Rise and the team are not your status quo - with full racks and ample room to workout to the private treatment rooms, you know you are not going to be a number, but listened to and have a personalized approach taken. All good things to say about Josh, Eli and the Rise Team and would recommend their services to anyone looking for a class A team!

I am a unique type of client of RISE because I do not experience pain that would require physical therapy.
However, I am an older woman who is post menopause. I was interested in strength training, and Dr. Josh offered strength testing, which is what drew me to work with him.
He educated me about the foundational exercises as the basis of my workouts. They help me move better and I have been feeling more confident in my body. We determined a six-month plan, and by the end and after retesting my strength, I improved by 10%!
He is knowledgeable and patient in his approach. If you are wanting to build strength and confidence within yourself, I highly recommend working with Dr. Josh and his team!

I started seeing Dr. Eli while training for a triathlon, and they were incredible at helping me manage and prevent pain throughout the process. He took the time to understand my training schedule, identified the root causes of my discomfort, and gave me practical exercises that actually worked. Thanks to their support, I was able to stay consistent with my training and feel strong on race day. Highly recommend them to any athlete or active person looking for thoughtful, effective care!

Almost a year ago I injured my shoulder skiing, and since then I had limited mobility and pain with and over head or press motion. . . Until I started working with Dr Eli barely more than a month ago. Since then my range if motion has opened up to allow me to open the car door, change light bulbs and do push up (not all the way down yet but I continue to see improvement.
Things I like about Eli :
1. Thorough evaluation and clear explanation
2. Skilled manipulation (massage and range of motion)
3. Detailed and effective exercise explanation combined with video instruction
4. Excellent listening and communication skills.

Josh has been wonderful to work with- he provides individualized and effective treatment, and maintains a consistent line of collaborative communication. As a former college athlete with a competitive mindset, who also has an autoimmune condition, I have needed highly personalized care to reach my performance goals. Josh has supported me in recovering from a marathon, completing a 10k race well under my goal time, and keeping me healthy as I now prepare for a Hyrox competition. The energy at Rise is inviting, and the industrially refined gym space is always clean and organized. Josh has been able to understand and explain the root causes of my pain points. I am definitely treated as a whole person based on comprehensive ongoing evaluation, and have never felt like I am just receiving bandaid solutions for my aches and pains. Would recommend Rise Rehab to anyone

I’ve always dealt with lower back pain since I took up running a few years ago; I’ve just been pushing through that pain. It wasn’t until a few months ago, the pain became too unbearable so I figured PT is my last hope. I wanted and needed to build up strength and confidence again to tackle my first 55k race. From the start of evaluation with Josh, I knew I was under good care and guidance. Josh is knowledgeable not only in the science but the physical demand of the sport I was partaking in. I saw Josh over the summer months to improve my weakness points. Happy to say, I completed my 55k pain free and I was in awe with my recovery time. Thank you Josh! To onward and upward, cheers!

Dr. Eli at Rise has been fantastic to work with! I’ve made a ton of progress since coming here for lifting associated pain. Their model gives you in depth, one on one individualized attention and programming that truly makes a difference. Eli is patient and thorough, always asking what goals I have but also prepared to progress my program with his clinical knowledge. They are also very flexible with scheduling, and the clinic itself is a great space with tons of equipment. I would highly recommend to anyone during any stage of their recovery!

The Rise team is the real deal. Dr. Eli has been fantastic. I’ve worked with several other PTs and Chiro’s and Rise has been the only one that truly helped. Their consulting and knowledge has been a game changer for me. My back and hip pain are gone and I’m back to barbells!

Eli is fantastic! I’ve struggled with hip and shoulder issues for years from cheerleading and bodybuilding, and he has helped me get back to doing the things I love, like squatting and bench pressing, without pain. I no longer deal with discomfort at night and I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in my workouts thanks to his support and expertise. He’s even made me feel confident enough to sign up for a fitness competition I never thought was possible because of my hips! Highly recommend Eli and Rise Rehab!

Eli has been great at helping me get back to pain-free movement. I came to Rise with knee pain and no clear cause, and he worked patiently to get to the root of it. Eli is knowledgeable, personable, and super adaptable—always adjusting the plan to fit my routine and whatever else my body was throwing at me, including other injuries that came up along the way.
He takes the time to explain things clearly and makes sure every part of the plan feels doable. Most of all, I appreciated that he kept me active and progressing without putting my workouts on pause. Highly recommend!

I would recommend Rise to anyone. I began working with Dr. Eli Edwards in November 2024, after meeting him at a pop up. For the last five years I have struggled with a shoulder injury that resulted in a full SLAP tear, bicep tendon tear, and rotator cuff tear. After a few surgeries and rounds of PT with a previous provider, I still struggled with basic tasks, for example, ranching back to grab my seat belt, lifting items over head, or even grabbing a gallon of milk out of the fridge. After completing almost 16 sessions, I’m thrilled to report I feel like my shoulder is back to where it was. Eli's approach transformed my recovery as it was tailor to my needs for outdoor activities and was effective. Eli consistently explains what we are doing and why it matters, and tailors everything to my tolerance but also encourages me to challenge myself when I am taking it too easy. Every session I have had included clear instructions and written notes, which allowed for me to know proper technique and hopefully prevent later issues down the road. Eli has also worked on some minor issues related to a previous knee injury, tension in my hip and ankle, and has provided basic exercises and knowledge on why this is happening. I have achieved a lot more in the 9 months working with Eli than I did in the four years with a previous provider. Not only did I achieve my goals faster than I thought but also gained more confidence in outdoor recreation post injury. Having my shoulder feel the best it has in five years and being able to move freely without pain and fatigue is a milestone I once doubted would happen after the shoulder trauma I experienced.

I recently finished six sessions of PT with Eli for knee pain. I started to see improvement within a couple weeks of my initial assessment. Unlike other PTs I have seen, Rise felt more personalized. My initial assessment involved a strength assessment using equipment to measure strength of different muscle groups in each leg. I was able to see, using data, what areas I needed to strengthen to better stabilize my knee. Eli put together a plan that really challenged me and progressed with each session.
I am very impressed by Rise Rehab and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a PT.

Eli has been very helpful in my recovery from multiple injuries. I came to Rise with lingering Achilles tendinitis, elbow pain and a shoulder injury. Eli took the time to not only build me a recovery plan but to thoroughly listen to what was causing the problem and give me specific recommendations based on what I told him. Sometimes people give you basic, templatized answers to medical questions that they give to many other people. With Eli, his recommendation and approach felt very tailored to my unique needs. I really appreciate working with him as in the course of 3 months, my shoulder pain is completely gone and the Achilles and elbow are both steadily progressing. Definitely recommend.

I've experienced mostly misses in the "hit or miss" venture that is getting PT. Working with Eli has, without question, been a huge hit. I came in with semi-consistent but very intense knee pain, and after just a few sessions and targeted stress tests, it's gone. Eli took the time to understand the root of the issue, tailored the exercises to my needs, and provided clear guidance on how to maintain progress. His expertise, patience, and commitment to his patients truly set him apart. I can confidently say this has been the most effective and positive PT experience I've had. Highly recommend!

I recently completed five physical therapy sessions with Eli after a minor ski injury affecting my knee. Initially, I was unsure if I needed an MRI, but his reassuring approach and guidance helped me decide. Eli has been incredibly helpful, patient, and supportive throughout. From our consultation call to the moment I walked into the clinic, I felt at ease with Eli's friendly demeanor and willingness to help. He listened to my concerns and carefully explained each step of the therapy, ensuring I understood what to expect. Eli's dedication to my recovery has truly made a difference, and I am grateful for his expertise. Additionally, I LOVE the aesthetic of the gym; it's inviting, clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I would 1000% recommend Rise to friends and family in denver.

I started going to Rise after hurting my shoulder dancing and I’ve noticed an improvement in just a few weeks. During my first visit, Josh assessed my shoulder and thoroughly explained my injury, prognosis, and long-term goals. As we talked through outlook and goals for progress, it felt collaborative as opposed to someone trying to rush me out the door to see their next patient. Josh took the time to answer questions I had about movements and exercises I should avoid to further aggravate the injury. The office is clean and welcoming, and I appreciate that there are only two PTs in the space so I wasn’t working through exercises in a room with a bunch of other people. I felt comfortable with Josh and feel confident that my shoulder will feel even better and stronger in no time. I would highly recommend going to Rise.

I highly recommend Rise Rehabilitation and Sport Performance! I came in with an old shoulder injury that had been bothering me for years, but after just a few sessions, I was finally pain-free. It’s an incredible relief to be able to move comfortably again.
Dr. Josh Davis has been exceptional throughout my recovery. His deep knowledge and ability to explain complex information in a way that’s easy to understand have been game-changing for me. Thanks to his guidance, I now feel confident doing my workouts at home and building my strength to get back to doing the stuff I love, like dirt biking and mountain biking.
If you're dealing with an injury or just want to improve your performance, I can't recommend Rise Rehabilitation and Sport Performance enough!

Highly recommend working with Josh and Eli! They're incredibly knowledgeable and take a personalized approach to PT. They take the time to get to the root cause instead of only offering quick fixes or bandaid solutions. I love that their goal is to get you feeling better with a specific plan and timeline and routine maintenance after instead of having you stick around week to week without much change.
I've had lingering issues from a knee surgery a couple of years ago and was worried about skiing again. I worked with Josh in the fall and now I'm back on the slopes and feeling confident. I've recommended them to several friends and will definitely continue to do so!

I came in to Rise due to a knee injury I’ve been dealing with for almost ten years. I got injured training jiujitsu and had been dealing with discomfort and pain since then. I also work in the construction industry, so every now and then I would do something to cause the injury to reemerge, especially in the colder months.
When I came in I could barely stand on the leg with the injured knee and would place most of my weight on the other leg. Now, thanks to Eli at Rise Rehabilitation & Sports Performance, I am able to do a one-legged squat with both of my legs without pain or discomfort. That’s something I never thought I’d be able to do since sustaining the injury. I feel like I have my legs back from my early twenties, before the injury.
I cannot recommend this place enough if you want to recover from any type of injury or simply want to perform to the best of your physical abilities. I am currently working with Eli to help me overcome a rib injury and I can already tell he is taking his time to figure the root cause to make sure we have the best course of action towards recovery.
I have been to other rehab centers and chiropractors, and none of them compare to this place. If you have an injury and are on the fence about coming in, don’t hesitate to do so. You won’t regret it and will come out feeling like a better version of yourself. I know I did.
