Proof in Practice: Our Results & Reviews
We are proud to share the progress of a 66-year-old female M-Powered patient diagnosed with osteoporosis. Over the course of 14 months training two times per week with one of our Doctors of Physical Therapy, she focused on high-intensity strength and impact training. Her recent DEXA scan showed a 14% improvement in bone mineral density, changing her diagnosis from osteoporosis to osteopenia!
At Mend, we utilize the current best evidence, such as the LiftMor trial, to manage conditions like osteoporosis. High-intensity strength training, when performed under the guidance of a Doctor of Physical Therapy, has been shown to be a safe and highly effective form of exercise for rehabilitation and management of this diagnosis.

Your Questions, Answered
Do I need an injury to benefit from your personal training?
Not at all. While we are experts in post-rehab training, many of our clients are uninjured individuals who seek us out for our premium, science-backed approach to injury prevention and performance enhancement.
How is this different from physical therapy?
Traditional physical therapy focuses on healing a specific injury to restore baseline function. Our personal training and physical therapy hybrid model takes the next step, building upon that recovery to make your entire body stronger and better equipped for a high-level, active life.
What is the cost? Is it covered by insurance?
Our expert-led personal training is a self-pay wellness service and is not covered by health insurance. Please contact us for detailed pricing.
Where are your clinics located?
Mend Colorado proudly serves the active communities of Boulder and Lafayette.
