Frustrated With Recovery That's Going Nowhere?

You're ready to get back to your sport, but something's holding you back. Generic treatments aren't cutting it anymore.

Generic PT Hasn't Worked

You've done the exercises and followed the program, but you're still not where you need to be. Cookie-cutter approaches don't address what makes your injury unique.

Pain Keeps Coming Back

You feel better for a few days, then the pain returns. Temporary relief doesn't get you back on the field, trail, or court—you need lasting solutions.

Sidelined From What You Love

Every week you can't train, compete, or move the way you want to feels like a setback. You're an athlete—you need a PT who gets that and won't settle for 'good enough.'

Why Centennial Chooses Performance Project PT

5.0 stars from 174+ Google reviews—real results, real people.

 "I've been seeing Marie for about six months, and she's the best PT I've worked with. She brought fresh ideas that finally helped my back pain after years of trying other therapists. She's also great at adapting sessions to whatever new issues come up. I've learned so much about my body thanks to her thoughtful and knowledgeable approach. Highly recommend!"
 "I've been working with Tyler for a running gait assessment, and it became clear that I wasn't using my glutes properly and had super tight hips—both contributing to the back pain I've dealt with over 20 years. Since then, we've had several sessions incorporating strength work, dry needling, e-stim, and cupping. I've noticed a huge improvement in my awareness and movement. I'm finally using the right muscles, and my back is feeling better for it."
"I have had aggravating back pain that has been lingering for far too long. Thankfully I met Dr. Tyler Pollock at an injury screening at my gym. He showed me that my injury has led to weakness and mobility issues that I have honestly just lived with. He promised me that he could help, and he really has. I have been seeing him for almost a year, and I can see an improvement.
"This place is the best!!! I recently had my first session, and the care I’ve received is unmatched. I highly recommend The Performance Project to anyone in Denver!"
"Tyler is professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in your progress—always asking what’s working and adjusting as needed. The facility itself is top-notch and they’re currently expanding with more private PT space, a cold plunge, and sauna on the way. Highly recommend
The Performance Project if you’re
 looking for real results and 
knowledgeable care."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

1. What should I expect during my first visit? 

Your first visit includes a comprehensive assessment where we evaluate your injury, movement patterns, and goals. We'll discuss your medical history, perform hands-on testing, and create a personalized treatment plan. Most patients receive hands-on treatment during their first session and leave with exercises tailored to their needs. Sessions are one-on-one and last approximately 60 minutes.

2. Do you accept insurance? 

We are an out-of-network provider, which allows us to offer extended, one-on-one sessions without insurance restrictions. We provide detailed receipts (superbills) that you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many of our patients find the quality of care and individual attention well worth the investment. Contact us at (720) 334-7915 to discuss your specific insurance benefits.

3. How long will my recovery take? 

Recovery timelines vary based on your injury, activity level, and goals. Many patients experience significant pain relief within the first few sessions. A typical treatment plan ranges from 6-12 visits over 6-12 weeks, but we'll provide a personalized timeline after your initial assessment. Our focus is on lasting results—not just temporary relief.

4. Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment? 

Colorado is a direct access state, which means you do not need a physician referral to see a physical therapist. You can schedule directly with us by calling (720) 334-7915 or through our website. If you're using insurance benefits, check with your provider about their specific referral requirements for out-of-network care.

5. What makes Performance Project PT different from other clinics? 

We offer true one-on-one care—no assistants, no double-booking. Every session is with a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in sports and orthopedic injuries. Our clinicians have advanced certifications in dry needling, spinal manipulation, and movement analysis. We focus on treating athletes and active individuals who demand more than generic protocols—we optimize how you move so you return stronger and stay injury-free.
