★★★★★ 5/5

“I highly recommend Scott for your PT needs! He helped me get back to trail running in a short amount of time and gave me exercises and advice for continued success. What I appreciate the most about his approach is the depth of interview and holistic approach to understanding all of my activities, not just the calf issues that brought me to a halt. We uncovered other weaknesses and developed a long term approach to develop strength and flexibility to tackle running, biking, skiing, and lifting. He uses a great phone app to assign you exercises, demonstrate proper technique, and set reminders for your workouts, and I still use it for a refresher. Go see Scott for an evaluation and you’ll see what I’m talking about, he’s sharp, thorough, and very good at what he does.”

“Scott helped me strengthen my ankle after a bad sprain! The certain exercises he created for me and his encouragement helped me regain confidence that I could do the activities I was doing pre-sprain. I enjoy the app as well because you mark off when you complete each exercise for the day which keeps me accountable and makes me feel accomplished for the day. He helped identify what muscles were still hurt from the sprain and helped them feel better through stretching, massage, as well as one dry needling procedure. Just by doing the exercises daily and a few weekly appointments, I’m now able to do my regular HITT workouts and run with full confidence again! I highly recommend him if you have anything going on and need to get back to feeling like your regular, strong self again!”

I can't encourage Scott Runyon/Backcountry PT enough! I have a torn labrum in my hip and was set to go to surgery. Going to Scott was my last ditch effort to push surgery back and he did it! I have a very active job and I feel stronger now then I did before and Scott got me back to play again. What I really appreciate is that no matter what physical issues that arise I can go to Scott and he always finds a way to get me back in the game! Thank you Scott!

Scott has been an integral part of my continued success in my career and in my training! He has been there for every step helping me through all the aches and pains that come with my occupation. If I didn’t have Scott in my corner I’m pretty sure I’d be dealing with multiple surgeries and missed opportunities. Can’t recommend him enough. Thanks Scott!

I've been working with Scott for over a year on my hip and back pain. I'm a fitness trainer and a caretaker and I'm very interested in staying as joint healthy as possible without surgery and Scott is helping me with this goal. His creative techniques and strategies are A+, highly recommend!

Scott is an amazing person and knows what he is doing. I am a professional MMA fighter and Backcountry PT is a big part of it! I absolutely would recommend Backcountry to anyone struggling with injury.

I had a couple of injuries in rapid succession that resulted in some significant quad issues. Scott helped me rehab the quad through a mix of visits and at-home workouts. I have opted for a monthly maintenance plan to keep me out on the trails. I highly recommend Scott.

Scott has been an absolute life saver for not only my body but my career. I cannot recommend Backcountry enough. Scott's attention to detail and commitment to each and every patient is unparalleled. Thank you Scott for not only helping me get back to my old self but motivating me to come back better and stronger.

Can't go wrong seeing Dr. Runyon for your outdoor adventures and activities! He will ensure all your needs and concerns are addressed not just for your current injury, but also to help get you set up for the long term. As a colleague who is also a PT there are few other PT's I recommend in the Springs and he certainly makes the cut!

I highly recommend Scott. I say this both as a patient and a fellow healthcare worker. He is very attentive, listens well and devises an appropriate treatment plan. But better than that, he is constantly assessing your progress and tweaking the plan as needed. Additionally, his use of technology is very helpful with a phone app that keeps you in line. He is also very quick to respond to any questions. Yes, you can find less expensive physical therapy options, but with Scott, you get what you pay for.

I had a shoulder injury and had been dealing with the pain for about a year now. In just three sessions I have learned many excercises and stretches to help me on my road to recovery. I am already seeing a good amount of improvement. He is very knowledgeable and is great to work with. Thanks Scott!

I fell snow skiing. Scott helped me by showing me how to do some exercises right away so I would not develop frozen shoulder. My range of motion improved. His expertise and knowledge has helped and I hope to be able to resume all of my sports soon.
