Not all PT is created equal.
At Summit Sports Lab, physical therapy is integrated with performance science, strength training, and high-level movement analysis—giving you a clearer path back to skiing, riding, running, and everyday adventure.
Whether you’re recovering from injury, building back capacity, or preparing to return to sport, SSL provides evidence-based, DPT-led rehabilitation designed for athletes and mountain lifestyles.
What Makes SSL Physical Therapy Different?
Doctor-led. Athlete-focused.
Every session is with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who understands biomechanics, training load, and sport performance—not a tech, aide, or insurance-driven model.
Performance & Rehab Under One Roof

ACLs, meniscus injuries, knee pain, back pain, hip issues, overuse injuries—we see what Summit County athletes face every day.
