The Boulder Treatment Center

The Boulder MFR Treatment Center is a multidisciplinary facility, offering Myofascial Release treatment combined with various movement and exercise therapies. Home myofascial release and therapeutic exercise programs are designed specifically for the patients' therapeutic needs. Hands-on care, flexibility and exercise, and instruction in a healthy lifestyle are the focus of our programs of care.

The Boulder MFR Treatment Center provides care for a local, regional, and national patient population. We offer comprehensive, effective treatment for chronic pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia, spinal dysfunction and pain, including back pain and headaches, and sports related injuries.

Local patients come for treatment one to two times per week, and out of state or long distance patients stay in Boulder for one to two weeks, and receive treatment two to three times per day. The intensive treatment programs also include daily movement and exercise therapy. In addition, we arrange walks, hikes, and biking into the local mountains.
