Physical Therapy That Gets You Back to Your Sport - Not Just Out of Pain.
Boulder County's Preferred Return-to-Sport & Performance ClinicRecover from injury, prevent setbacks, and build a body that’s ready to perform.
Stay Healthy. Get Stronger. Perform at Your Best.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury or working to prevent one,
your body should be ready for everything your sport asks of it.
Prevent Injury
Identify movement limitations, strength deficits, and other risk factors before they become setbacks.
Recover Fully
Go beyond pain relief to restore the strength and function you need to move forward.
Perform With Confidence
Return to training and competition knowing your body has been prepared for what’s ahead.
Getting Out of Pain Is Only Part of the Comeback.
You want to get back to your sport. But traditional physical therapy often ends once pain decreases and basic function returns.
That can leave you wondering: Am I actually ready to play again?
And figuring out what comes next can mean piecing together care from physical therapists, trainers, gyms, and other providers.
Prime Physio gives you a clear path forward – from recovery through return to sport.
You Deserve More Than “Good Enough” to Return to Sport.
Traditional physical therapy often ends once pain improves and basic function returns – before an athlete is truly ready for their sport.
That leaves athletes with a gap in care, forced to figure out what’s next or piece together help from multiple providers.
You deserve care that takes you all the way from injury to return to sport.
At Prime Physio, it’s what we were built to do.

About Us
Meet Dr. Ken Usui
He Saw the Gap in Athlete Care. So He Built a Better Way.
Ken saw athletes finishing traditional rehabilitation without feeling ready to return to their sport. He also saw how fragmented the process could become — PT in one place, strength and conditioning somewhere else, and recovery services somewhere else entirely.
He knew athletes deserved a better way.
Dr. Ken Usui, PT, DPT, CSCS, founded Prime Physio around an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach that brings rehabilitation and performance together under one roof.
With experience spanning physical therapy, athletic training, strength and conditioning, and sports performance, Ken combines clinical expertise with current research, objective assessment, and proven training principles to guide each athlete’s care.
Prime Physio has worked with athletes from the high school and collegiate level through professional and Olympic-level competition, including athletes preparing for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
The goal isn’t simply to treat an injury. It’s to give every athlete a clear, evidence-based path to staying healthy, returning to sport, and performing at their best.

“You Only Get One Mind And One Body. And It’s Got To Last A Lifetime.
But If You Don’t Take Care Of That Mind And That Body,
They’ll Be A Wreck 40 Years Later… It’s What You Do Right Now, Today,
That Determines How Your Mind And Body
Will Operate 10, 20, And 30 Years From Now.”
