I've really loved working with Amanda! I've struggled with various injuries while training for long distances for the past 6 years, and I finally feel like I can train the way I want to with the guidance I've gotten from Amanda. She knows about everything which is super helpful, and the exercises she gave me were much more functional and effective than other PTs I've worked with. I liked that she adjusted/progressed the exercises every time we met, so I didn't get bored and I felt like I was making progress. Hopefully I won't need to go back for a while, but I feel so much better having a PT I know will help me get back to running form (and quickly too, knock on wood :) )!

Amanda is a absolutely amazing and I can have found a better physical therapist

Amanda is very thorough. She provides a very personalized, detailed, thoughtful analysis to get started. She seems to care about her patients progress with a goal of moving pain free.Dry needling wasn’t fun but the pain went away almost immediately.She didn’t pressure me into any PT packages and offered several payment options.

Amanda saved running for me. After years of on again and off again running due to various problems with knees and shin splints, she helped me recover from taking 4 months off due to an Achilles strain and foot injuries to running the Bolder Boulder a few months later and running my first half marathon later that year. Now I’m training for my first marathon.In addition to hands on PT work and needling, and planning the right exercises for me, Amanda helped me adjust my stride to run with less impact, and taught me how to safely ramp up my training.

Passionate, Professional, and Competent! Amanda is hands down the Best PT I know, I can highly recommend her!

I’ve worked with Amanda over the past 8 months on a recurring calf injury that I’ve had from running. Amanda was able to work with me to build a routine that has helped me bounce back and stave off additional running injuries.

Amanda was and is an amazing PTShe helped me tremendously when I had vertigo. Now she is helping me with Costochronditis. She is very knowledgeable and cares. She follows up and is caring and so trained at her profession. She’s a true professional and truly a wonderful person.

I am so thankful for all the care and support I received from Amanda. I decided to finally try Physical Therapy because my knee kept bothering while running and no matter how much I rested, iced, etc, the pain kept coming back. I tried another place first but I felt they were offering a canned treatment plan that was not personalized to my needs. I didn’t feel listened or supported. I am glad I continued looking for the right care I deserved because when I found Amanda and had my initial consultation with her, I immediately felt the difference. She took the time not only to analyze my strength, weak spots, posture, etc, but also to listen to my needs, goals and concerns. She always kept my plan personalized and adjusted based on feedback. She also deeply cares about her patients and is constantly checking in to see how you are doing.As of now I successfully completed my treatment plan and my knee has been performing so well. No pain or discomfort. I still do my strengthening exercises as part of my workout routine and I reach out to Amanda if I ever have any questions. She is a great source of knowledge and encouragement!Stop looking for another PT. This is the place you’ve been looking for!-Laura.

I had an excellent experience with Amanda, who went above and beyond to help me push my boundaries while ensuring I understood how to protect my knees. She provided expert guidance that significantly reduced my knee pain and taught me how to engage my muscles for long-term sustainability. Highly recommend her services!

2025-09-18T16:29:09.660Z

Amanda has helped my husband and I tremendously over the past year with a multitude of issues. Highly recommend. She got me from pain with running to running pain free from a persistent hip injury in a few months with a simple, easy to follow home regimen. Can't recommend her or her approach highly enough.

I came across Focus First PT through social media back in April. Their socials were intriguing, so I booked a consultation appointment with Amanda. I’ve been dealing with pain near my knee for a few months and as a soccer player who plays for a living, I needed answers. From the consultation back in April to our latest session this week, I’ve never had a PT who took the time to truly find the root cause of my injury. From the exercises she taught me- to the knowledge she shared about my situation. I’ve left each appointment with more knowledge and a structured plan to get me back on the field! I can’t recommend Amanda enough. Thank you!

2025-07-24T20:58:41.987Z

Elite professional recovery and PT. Amanda helped me go from hobbled to running a sub 60 10k in 3 months.

2025-07-12T20:20:52.858Z

I first came to Focus First PT because I’d pushed myself too hard trying to get back into running in my early 40s, after years away from it, and ended up injured. Before coming here, I tried just resting, stretching on my own, and hoping it would get better, but nothing really helped me run pain-free.I chose Focus First PT because I wanted expert help to actually fix the problem and learn how to run safely again, and Amanda came highly recommended. She was incredible from day one. She didn’t just treat my injury, she taught me how to prevent it from happening again. She gave me detailed guidance on my running cadence, created a clear and supportive plan to build back gradually, and showed me exactly what strength training I needed to do to support my running goals.As a patient at Focus First PT, I always felt listened to and encouraged. Amanda truly cares and makes sure you understand why you’re doing what you’re doing. She has always made me feel like she is invested in my running goals. Now, six months later, I’ve been running consistently with zero injuries — and my speed and endurance are way better than they were in my 20s. I might be older now, but I feel like a better, smarter runner than ever before.If you’re on the fence about physical therapy, I’d say don’t wait — Focus First PT will help you get back to doing what you love, safely and confidently. Amanda is amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough!

I brought my son to see Amanda for back/hip pain that was holding him back from running at his full potential. By now, 8 months later, my son just had his 9th session with Amanda. He is doing great! The pains are better and he is setting PRs at every race he enters. I have really appreciated Amanda’s knowledge and expertise over these months. She has used a multitude of different techniques and has prescribed many exercises. The end result - happy customer and his very happy mom! We are very grateful!

2025-04-08T19:06:04.547Z

After years of neglecting hip and knee pain while running, I finally decided to try physical therapy. Amanda has realistic exercises and goals for busy people. While I didn't see results immediately (who does??), I'm so happy to get back to running pain free. I've completed my time with Amanda, but she has armed me with functional exercises to keep me moving. And, she's just generally good to be around!

2025-03-17T19:22:20.418Z

After years of "hoping" the knee pain from an old injury would just heal itself and go away, it has. I finally did something about it: I found a PT to address the injury. Finding Amanda, who works with athletes, and after incorporating the progressive exercises into my evening routine, I have noticed a significant decrease in my knee pain, both while running and afterwards, when I try to get up from sitting at work for a few hours! Thank you Amanda for your compassion and knowledge.

2025-03-17T18:23:47.577Z

I highly recommend Amanda at Focus First PT for anyone looking to recover from injury and regain strength with confidence. I have known Amanda for years and am constantly amazed with her clinical skills and speed in which she gets people back to their desired activities. She is extremely knowledgeable and takes a root-cause approach, ensuring that patients don’t just treat symptoms but truly understand the mechanics behind their issues.Amanda specializes in return to running weightlifting programs, helping athletes and active individuals safely rebuild strength and endurance. Her expertise also extends to vestibular and balance deficits, where she applies a preventative and performance-based approach to restore stability and function.Beyond her clinical skills, Amanda is incredibly kind and supportive, one of the nicest people I know. If you’re in South Denver and need a PT who will not only get you back to your sport but also help you perform at your best, Amanda at Focus First PT is the one to see!

2025-03-11T22:20:07.729Z

After almost a year of pain in my hip and down the back of my leg, I finally decided to work with a PT. I’ve been working with Amanda for a few months now, and I’ve regained the ability to run without hurting for days afterwards. I appreciate that Amanda has tried multiple modalities of therapies with me, including massage, dry, needling, and strengthening exercises. I’m really excited to be able to run again thanks to Amanda!

2025-03-06T22:07:23.655Z

Amanda has been awesome. She helped me work through some serious leg issue and has me moving as well as I've been in years. She really knows her stuff and makes her patients comfortable every step of the way.

2025-02-13T19:36:09.440Z

As an advanced runner dealing with some nagging issues after running 60+ mile weeks for the past year, Amanda was exactly what I was looking for in a PT. She did an incredibly helpful thorough assessment and got me started with exercises that immediately addressed my weaknesses. Just 2 months later, and I'm running completely pain free again. Thank you Amanda!Update: 5 months after first seeing Amanda, and I just ran a sub-2:40 marathon with zero tendon pain or issues!! This was a 20 minute PR and would not have been possible without the guidance I received.

2024-12-16T22:24:27.070Z

Dr. Amanda has been wonderful in helping my running to the point where I’ve had no more shin splints! I wasn’t even sure physical therapy was what I needed when I had my introductory appointment with her, but she has explained everything and answered all my questions! She has been so patient and listened whenever I shared concerns. Thank you!

2024-12-13T03:38:35.695Z

Nothing but gratitude for Amanda! I started PT three months ago due to pain while running, and last week I completed a half Ironman—completely pain-free! Amanda was incredibly professional, always maintained a clean and welcoming environment, and provided me with a personalized exercise plan that worked perfectly. Everything about the experience was great, and I’m so thankful for her guidance and expertise!

2024-11-28T13:19:05.744Z

Amanda is genuine in her pursuit to help you feel better! She listens to every nag about the aches and pains, then she educates and treats! Her workspace is clean, welcoming and professional. Extremely accommodating and scheduling is easy! Not only am I running pain free, I’m hitting PR’s! When your body feels good, it creates a new confidence as an athlete. 10/10! 5 Stars. The list could go on! Amanda is an exceptional PT!

2024-11-23T17:02:03.634Z

If you’re looking for a PT, look no further! Amanda has helped me correct imbalances after a broken leg, and I’m back to running pain free. She really works with you by writing a program that fits with your goals, feels manageable, and gets you back to doing the activities you love. She has a positive attitude and makes the drag of rehabbing an injury a lot more enjoyable.

2024-10-07T01:35:18.358Z

I first came in for leg pain that was severely impacting running and daily life, that was not improving after a few weeks. I was skeptical about this, but within a few days of my first appointment I felt a huge difference. I was running again pain free within 2 weeks! I learned my weak areas and how to improve. I'm very glad I found her!

2024-09-11T20:10:32.488Z

What a fantastic experience. Amanda was a complete pro, amazing at her diagnosis and providing a proactive sports program. This is exactly what we were looking for!

2024-09-05T22:03:14.465Z

Amanda was super helpful and very accommodating when I needed to reschedule a couple of times in a row. She was very thorough, offered detailed advice and recommendations, and was generally just a fun person to visit with during my session. It was refreshing to feel her individualized care after feeling frustrated with so many other generic and ultimately unhelpful PT experiences!

2024-08-22T19:25:52.889Z

Friendly, thorough, and well worth it. Looks at the whole body not just one body part at a time. Very nice

2024-06-17T16:13:20.307Z

Amanda is incredibly detailed, professional, and knowledgeable! I first visited for a consultation, but her impressive expertise and approach compelled me to schedule additional appointments. What sets her apart is her dedication to listening attentively and continuously updating her plan. Each visit feels completely personalized and tailored to my needs, which I truly appreciate!

2024-05-29T15:28:29.451Z

It was a wonderful first experience—90 minutes, and I already know considerably more about my issues than I did before. I see light at the end of the tunnel!
