At The Performance Shift, we work with high performing athletes and driven individuals across Denver and throughout the US who want to train smarter, recover faster, and feel their best. Here you’ll find clarity around what we offer, how our team supports your goals, and what to expect as you move through your performance or recovery journey. Whether you’re diving into sports PT, pelvic health, recovery work, or performance training, this page gives you the guidance you need to move forward with confidence.
We care for a wide range of orthopedic, sports, and performance clients, including:
Sports injuries
- Post-operative recovery
- Back, hip, knee, and shoulder pain
- Concussion & return-to-sport
- Pelvic health conditions
- Injury prevention & performance optimization (strength & pilates integration)
- Chronic pain & movement dysfunction
We operate outside of traditional insurance billing, allowing you to receive individualized, high-quality care without restrictions set by insurance companies. You can pay with cash, credit/debit, HSA/FSA cards, or check.
The Performance Shift is out-of-network for insurance. Your insurance may reimburse you for some or all of your PT services, especially if you have a PPO. We recommend calling your insurance company to verify your out-of-network benefits. Following your visits, you can submit your receipt and superbill to your insurance for reimbursment. Typically out-of-network benefits cover 40-80% of your visit, decreasing the appointment cost to a price similar to a copay. We’re happy to provide all necessary documentation.
Note: Reimbursement rates vary based on individual insurance benefits. Please contact your insurance carrier directly for additional information.
A superbill is a detailed receipt with medical coding that you can submit to your insurer to request reimbursement. We provide superbills upon request for each visit.
Yes! We accept both HSA and FSA payments for all medically necessary physical therapy services.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is not just for new moms or people with chronic pain. Everyone has a pelvis, which means everyone can benefit from improved strength, control, and function. We work with males, females, and adolescents to address a wide range of concerns, including pregnancy and postpartum recovery, labor preparation, vaginismus, pain with sex, menstrual pain, endometriosis, PCOS, and incontinence.
We also treat common orthopedic and performance related issues that connect back to the pelvic floor. This includes tailbone pain, sciatica, lower back pain, hip labral injuries, constipation, and guidance for returning to running or impact activity. Our goal is to help you move, train, and live with better comfort and confidence.
We ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid a cancellation fee, as your session time is reserved exclusively for you.
Every case is unique. However, due to longer sessions and highly individualized care, clients often require fewer total visits than in traditional insurance-based settings. We offer package options based on the frequency of treatments to help yield faster results and commitment to your recovery with long term results. Packages are nonrefundable and are per person.
Comfortable, athletic clothing that allows for movement is best. Sneakers are recommended.
Yes! We offer ongoing strength training, performance coaching, Pilates, injury-prevention programs, biomechanics assessments, recovery services, nutrition, psychology, functional medicine and more—allowing you to transition seamlessly from rehab to performance.

The time it takes to administer an IV drip varies depending on the type selected. Most IV drips take between 45 minutes and 2 hours to complete, and clients can resume their normal activities right after treatment.
Anyone looking to improve energy, focus, or overall wellbeing can benefit. Whether you’re dealing with chronic fatigue, hormone issues, digestive concerns, or simply want to optimize long-term performance, functional medicine helps create a personalized roadmap for lasting health.
It starts with a deep dive into your health history, advanced lab testing, and lifestyle assessment. From there, your practitioner builds a personalized plan that may include nutrition guidance, targeted supplements, stress management, and other strategies designed around your unique biology.
Everyone’s timeline is different, but many patients notice improvements in energy, sleep, and focus within weeks. Because functional medicine focuses on true healing and balance, deeper transformations often develop over several months as your body resets and restores optimal function.
Sports and orthopedic massage therapy focuses on assessing and treating soft tissue dysfunction related to movement, performance, and recovery. It goes beyond relaxation—addressing muscle imbalances, tension patterns, and restrictions that affect how your body moves.
Anyone can. While athletes often use it to enhance performance and prevent injury, it’s just as effective for people dealing with chronic pain, postural issues, or recovering from everyday strain.
Each session begins with a brief movement or postural assessment, followed by targeted hands-on work. Techniques are customized to your needs—whether that’s improving mobility, relieving pain, or restoring optimal function.
Frequency depends on your goals. Some clients come weekly during recovery or training cycles, while others maintain a biweekly or monthly routine for ongoing maintenance and prevention.
IV therapy, short for intravenous therapy, involves delivering fluids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream through a vein. By bypassing the digestive system, it allows for complete and immediate absorption.
Functional medicine looks beyond symptom management to identify and address the root causes of imbalance. Instead of focusing only on what’s “wrong,” it takes a systems-based approach that connects how your lifestyle, nutrition, hormones, gut health, and environment work together.
How often someone should get IV therapy varies from person to person. Each client’s needs are evaluated individually, with some benefiting from weekly treatments and others only needing them once a month.
Our team of registered nurses administers each IV treatment. They’re fully certified in IV therapy and home health care, ensuring professional, safe service. You can feel confident knowing they arrive equipped with proper PPE and prioritize your safety throughout the visit.
Onboarding starts with a consultation with the chef to build a personalized plan based on goals, allergies & preferences.

Yes, every menu is designed to be flexible so you can match your preferences, dietary needs, and performance goals.

Did you know the muscles that support your bowel, bladder and reproductive organs can be improved using manual treatments, dry needling, cupping and exercise? Just like any other muscle, the structures between your hips and pelvis can be examined and treated in a physical therapy setting. The muscles of the pelvic floor play a vital role in daily activities such as going to the bathroom, picking up your toddler from their crib, and coughing, laughing and sneezing!
They also share connections with the lumbar spine and hips, making them an often overlooked piece in lower back and hip dysfunction. When coming in for a pelvic floor PT initial evaluation, you will be welcomed with a private space to share your concerns then educated on a proper plan of care, emulation and treatment. During your IE and treatment session thereafter, an internal pelvic floor assessment may be right for you, which will be thoroughly defined by your physical therapist.
