Built for the unique demands of high-volume training at altitude — not generic PT protocols.

Dry needling, manual therapy, and sport-specific exercises designed for the unique demands of endurance training — not generic PT protocols.

From overuse injuries to acute breakdowns — the conditions that sideline runners, cyclists, and endurance athletes on Colorado's terrain.
The most common overuse injury in runners and cyclists. We treat the cause — hip weakness and movement patterns — not just the pain.
Foot and ankle conditions that sideline runners. Comprehensive treatment including dry needling, manual therapy, and progressive loading.
High-mileage training on Colorado's terrain creates bone stress. We guide return-to-running protocols and address the biomechanical factors that caused the fracture.
Runner's knee, hip bursitis, hamstring tendinopathy, and other repetitive strain injuries from trails, roads, and the bike.
Specialized expertise, dedicated time, and altitude-specific knowledge — built for Colorado's endurance community.
Advanced expertise in musculoskeletal injuries specific to endurance sports — the exact injuries high-volume training creates.
Endurance injuries are complex. You need more than 15 minutes to properly treat, strengthen, and progress. You get 60 minutes every visit.
Located in Edwards at 7,200 feet. Dr. Pindar understands the unique recovery challenges of training at altitude in the Vail Valley.
"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."
