Dr. Michael Pindar delivers true one-on-one physical therapy in the heart of the Vail Valley — specializing in ski and snowboard injuries, mountain athletes, and orthopedic rehabilitation for patients of all activity levels. No techs, no double-booking, no shortcuts. Just expert care built around you.
Every patient follows a structured path from pain to performance. No cookie-cutter plans — just a proven framework customized to your body and your goals.
A thorough hands-on evaluation to find the root cause — not just where it hurts, but why. We look at how you move, where you're limited, and what's driving your pain.
Manual therapy, dry needling, and targeted exercises to eliminate pain, restore mobility, and rebuild the foundation your body needs to perform.
Strength, stability, and sport-specific training to get you back stronger than before. Whether it's the ski slopes, the golf course, or the trail — we get you there.
Most clinics see 2-3 patients at once. You get 15 minutes with a tech and 5 with the therapist. We do things differently.
Every session is a full 60 minutes of direct, hands-on care with Dr. Pindar. No assistants, no double-booking. Your time is your time.
Dr. Pindar holds an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) certification — an advanced credential held by fewer than 10% of physical therapists nationwide.
From post-surgical athletes to weekend warriors tackling the Vail Valley — we specialize in getting active people back to doing what they love, faster.
Whether you're recovering from a ski season ACL tear, a mountain bike crash, a running injury, or chasing a personal best — we have the expertise to get you back out there.
Joint pain, muscle strains, ligament injuries, and movement dysfunction. Hands-on manual therapy combined with corrective exercise to fix the root cause.

Real results from real athletes and active people in the Vail Valley.
"Michael Pindar is one of if not the best PT I have worked with. As an athlete and coach, I have worked with various PTs over the years and Pindar has helped me continue to stay on top of my recovery and manage injuries with ease. His level of intellect in the field and quality of service is phenomenal."
"Was training hard this past winter for a Grand Canyon R2R2R run in May & then the Leadville 50 trail run less than two months later. Initially went to see Michael for help with hip discomfort and then most recently for some calf issues. Michael's dry needling and PT skills helped tremendously in healing me up and I couldn't be more grateful! Highly recommend him, especially to any endurance athletes looking for relief from tweaks, muscle issues, etc."
"Michael Pindar is undoubtedly one of the most talented PTs I have ever worked with. As a college athlete, I have worked with a variety of different physical therapists. Pindar undoubtedly knows his stuff as well if not better than anyone. If you are looking for a physical therapist who actually delivers value, Michael Pindar is your man."
