I pulled my lower back while surfing in late August, but thanks to Charlotte and Alpine Fit's personalized treatment approach, I was able to climb up to Longs Peak's Boulderfield with a ~50 lb backpack in tow 2 weeks later! That's what I call results. Charlotte was able to immediately identify the root cause of my pain and provided tailored therapy/dry needling/exercises that had me feeling better, even after the first session. It's all about getting back to where you were (or better!) after an injury - Alpine Fit delivered that for me.

I am so happy I found Dr. Kyle, Dr. Charlotte and Alpine Fit. I have had chronic neck and back pain for years, due to spinal injuries.The approach at Alpine Fit is very targeted with the use of not only strengthening exercises but many others. They use dry needling, scraping and deep tissue work to help relieve the muscle spasms and tension throughout my body.I have been to many other physical therapists where they basically just gave me a print out of exercises and sent me home. Alpine Fit is completely different. They spend time getting to know you and your body, to help you get better and achieve your goals!Thank you Dr Charlotte and Dr. Kyle!

I came to Alpine Fit after discomfort in a hip flexor became intermittent pain. Dr. Charlotte was able to quickly isolate the site of the pain and the root cause being weakness in my glutes. It turns out that not only was this the source of my hip flexor issue but also contributed to some other running knee issues I have had over the past several years. Without going to Alpine Fit, I probably would have just dismissed those issues as having “bad knees”.Dr. Charlotte created a set of exercises for me that evolved weekly to not only resolve the hip flexor pain but to also develop strength so that the problem doesn’t return. So far the improvement in my legs and performance has been notable.With the improvement in strength and reduction in pain while running, I am starting to look at returning to longer distance races that I have been missing out on for the past many years.

I started seeing Charlotte after months and months of unresolved neck and shoulder pain. Within 2 weeks the pain and discomfort I was having 100% of the time was reduced to only specific movements and has continued to improve and dissipate. I was able to begin strengthening and resolving my issue much quicker than I expected. Charlotte is knowledgeable and thorough and her positivity is infectious. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

The first time I met Charolette I felt right at home. She is kind with a lovely disposition. Our sessions were targeted and fun. I had never been to a PT before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I looked forward to each of my sessions. Thank you Charolette for jumó starting my lifelong wellness. I highly recommend Alpine Fit.:)

My experience with Alpine Fit was excellent. I had been dealing with a longer term, hard to diagnose injury. They took the time to ask a number of important questions to understand the symptoms I was experiencing. As a result, they correctly diagnosed the issue and put in place effective rehab exercises for me to use. Each exercise built off of the prior one effectively which resulted in tangible progress in my recovery. They also did a nice job with dry needling which helped as well. The staff were professional, understanding, and goal oriented which I appreciated tremendously. Many thanks to them in working through a frustrating, nagging injury to help get me back out and running again. Highly recommend!

I am very fortunate to have been able to see Dr. Charlotte for my rare, chronic condition. It is a true relief to seek treatment with someone knowledgeable with my situation. Dr. Charlotte goes above and beyond to make sure I am doing the prescribed exercises correctly, a concern of mine as a complete lack of proprioception is part of my syndrome.

I was recommended to Alpine Fit for a frozen shoulder. My range of movements was very limited as well as the pain was pretty intense all the time. Even very simple movements, such as closing the door of the car, were impossible when I started with the therapy.I am still seeing Dr. Charlotte weekly, but my range of movements has drastically improved over the weeks. I can now move the shoulder much better, and the pain is minimal. The expertise and commitment that Dr. Charlotte demonstrates during each session is impressive. I also really appreciate the session notes she provides, with the exercises to do at home. I feel so very lucky to have found Alpine Fit to address my problem. I am sure the recovery would have been much longer and probably not complete without the expertise I found at Alpine Fit.

I am so impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of Dr Charlotte Robinson. She listens to my issues and provides immediate treatment. I especially appreciate her session notes and home therapy exercises.

I started seeing Dr. Kyle to help relieve my back pain and sciatica. I was impressed at how quickly she was able to get at the root cause of the issue and she provided me with a very clear plan of how to get back to running and stop the pain cycle. She provided me detailed and specific exercises for posture and strengthening that I found to be very helpful. I am feeling better and back to running thanks to Dr. Kyle. I only wish I had taken the step to get in and see her sooner! I plan to continue seeing Dr. Kyle to help me improve fundamental aspects of posture and movement because what I learned from my short experience with Dr. Kyle that seemingly innocuous or sometime counterintuitive changes in how I stand and move reshape the body and improves my wellbeing.

I'd never been to a PT before and finally decided to try after a nagging injury wouldn't go away. I was very pleased at how both Dr Kyle and Dr Charlotte really listened to me and helped me figure out why I had pain. I look forward to my weekly appointments and always feel so much better afterwards! I highly recommend Alpine Fit!!

Ally truly cares. She not only exhausts all of her resources in trying to get you put back together but she texts / emails you to check in and make adjustments on the fly if necessary. Hands down the best PT I've been to. DO BIG THINGS Ally!

I have been going to Alpine Fit and seeing Dr. Ally Barry for a few months now for chronic lower back pain. She is absolutely wonderful and has helped me tremendously to understand where my weaknesses are and work with me to strengthen areas of my body that impact my back pain. Ally is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and caring and I would not be doing as well as I am without her assistance. She is truly a gem and one of the best PT’s that I have ever worked with.

Kelsey Caffyn

22:36 24 Jan 22

I've been seeing Dr. Kyle for a few months now and I am so impressed with her knowledge of the body and ability to challenge all the areas of my body that are weak. As someone with CP I have been to ALOT of physical therapists in my life, and I am so pleased with the progress I have made with Dr. Kyle thus far. Having a one-on-one session is so helpful and I am already seeing major improvement in my leg after just a few sessions. Would highly recommend Alpine Fit!

Dr kyle very knowledgeable about how body moves and how to work with changing habitual movements that over time lead to less flexibility and chronic pain..she offers corrective exercizes to do at home . She is skilled working hands on for stubborn areas that need attention. She also is savvy re current trends re nutrition and use of supplements. She demonstrates a heathy focus mixed with warmth and humour. I look forward to our time together .

Cynthia Pillsbury

Kyle was so easy to work with virtually. She gave me great and actionable advice on how to improve my GI track, water intake and general wellness. She was accessible and extremely knowledgeable. Kyle gave me pro tips on very easy, but important ways to improve my health.

Ally is absolutely the best physical therapist.She always takes the time to listen to YOU and understand where you are coming from and where you want to get. She truly understands and listens to you.Ally makes it easy as she is extremely personable and so kind hearted, I couldn't have gotten more lucky to work with her.She will always challenge you while showing compassion and empathy for you.Even during difficult exercises and movements Ally always has more options and ideas to help you through them. She is extremely personable and so kind hearted. Ally even goes above and beyond by reaching out and checking in on you during the week. I've never worked with someone as passionate and happy about her job. She hands down loves helping people and getting them back to the activities they love. I have so much confidence working with Ally. She truly has me on the road to recovery. I couldn't have gotten more lucky to work with her. I can never thank her enough for all she has done for me.

I started to see Dr. Kyle for a hip rotation issue and I am amazed at how quickly my body is recovering from this hip issue. Dr. Kyle is an expert in her field and very knowledgeable about human body function and movement. She is kind and professional and I appreciated how she would explain why your body moves a certain way and and how to correct that. I was very impressed with her treatment plan as well as her simple movement instructions. I followed the prescribed exercises with ease and I am feeling more energized and vibrant each day. Dr. Kyle is amazing!

I tore a meniscus while running and I really wanted to avoid surgery if possible. With in a year (long time but better than surgery, at least for me) it felt 100 percent better, thanks to my visits with Kyle and the physical therapy she prescribed. The healing was slow but steady, like it should be. Eventually, I stopped limping! And I started playing full-tilt basketball and volleyball with my family again without any pain! I attribute this to Kyle's insight, skills, experience, and her believing in the process and in me to heal!

I appreciate the attention and care of Ally at this clinic. She has been in tune with my physical needs and in consultation with my orthopedic surgeon.

Matt B

13:22 24 Jul 21

Dr Kyle has really helped me. It's been a life changer. After back surgery, I had been to a different PT for 8 months with no improvement. Dr Kyle worked on so many different aspects of my life, that I don't know what worked, but this week I was pain free for the first time in 2 years and my other symptoms are disappearing in less than 3 months.

Nick C

14:47 21 Jul 21

Working with Kyle has been a great experience! I developed a severe elbow pain a few months ago and went from scaring myself from Google searches to scheduling an appointment with Kyle. Within minutes of telling her about the pain and what triggered it, I was assessed with tennis elbow - being explained what caused it, how it develops and how we can fix it. It was exactly what I was looking for.Over the next few months or so of dry needling as well as Dr prescribed exercises at home to massage & restrengthen the area, happy to say that Im pain free! Kyle is super friendly, a great listener and very good at what she does, would definitely recommend !

Lainey Celeste

I have had long-term lower back and hip pain for over a year and a half, from a running injury I got in college. It was so bad I couldn't sit for longer than 20 minutes at a time, I was distracted at work from the pain, and not feeling confident, in control, or kind towards my body. I had gone to 4 other physicians or physical therapists in the past to resolve the issue, with no long-term relief or solutions. Going to PT sessions here has for the first time in the past 18 months created substantial and noticeable changes for the better. I appreciated Dr. Kyle Willets personable attitude, and the holistic understanding she has of body mechanics. In my case, I had to re-teach my body proper posture, which is no easy feat but the tools she's provided me have 1) alleviated my pain, and 2) is strengthening my body in a sustainable way, so I hopefully never revert to my old injury. She outlines the "big picture" path forward out of pain and into long-term relief and strength, but is very adaptable and will work with you where you're at for each session (some days I came in with pain and we would work on releasing that tension, other days I felt good and we would work mainly on strength). She has a lot of tools in her toolbox to get me back to where I want to be, and I have made substantially more progress working with her than I had with any other professional in the past over the course of my injury. Will absolutely be continuing my progress with her, and recommend her to anyone else who wants undivided attention to get better.

If you are looking for a Physical Therapist that is knowledgeable, compassionate, effective, and kind look no further than Alpine Fit. Kyle embodies all of those qualities. I have been working with Kyle for some time now. I’ve done nutritional work and also PT work. I have been amazed at how good I feel. I just had my 60th birthday and feel better now than I did 10 years ago. I credit Kyle for a lot of that. And if that doesn’t convince you, she is funny too. Come for the therapy, stay for the laughter!I recommend Kyle highly and thankful that she is one of our caregivers.

Dave Tamkin

15:28 28 May 21

I had chronic pain in arms and my right shoulder due to hours on the computer and playing guitar. Not to mention, stellar posture. :(Dr. Kyle recommended dry needling and some new daily exercises. I felt better after the first session. Dr. Kyle is my first call!

Katie West

23:28 18 May 21

A while ago, I couldn’t even walk because of the pain and tightness in my knees (and I’m a young(ish), healthy, active person!). But under Dr. Willets’s direction, and her experience implementing a variety of modalities, from dry needling, to soft tissue work, and key exercises, I was back on my feet in no time! Now I can again enjoy all the activities I love- even knee-intensive sports like skiing and running- with little to no pain. I really appreciate Kyle’s holistic approach, her expertise on all the systems of the body and how they function together, and her knowledge of how even small changes, like posture corrections, can make a big difference. I highly recommend Alpine Fit for any PT needs!

Catherine

01:56 18 May 21

I’ve seen a variety of professionals over the years to address long standing shoulder issues. Kyle provided me with exercises and insight into the problem that’s addressed it at the root. Her questions were thorough and non-judgemental. She creates a warm, friendly atmosphere and speaks with confidence. She understands the interrelated structures of the body and was able to conceptualize my problem based on my experiences. I’ve also had dry needling before and this was the most direct and comprehensive approach.

Amanda C.

22:46 11 May 21

I was recommended to Alpine Fit for knee pain I was having that was inhibiting my day to day activities. Through exercises and dry needling, my pain has significantly decreased, and I am no longer having issues with simple activities like stairs. I am even back to playing tennis and feeling good. Now we are starting “prehab” for my shoulder to keep it strong, fit, and pain free. I was a dry needling newbie so a little nervous at first, but Dr. Kyle is very skilled and all of my sessions were relaxed and effective. The clinic spaces is very comfortable and safe, and Dr. Kyle is very personable, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. I have learned a lot to keep myself pain free and hopefully prevent any future injuries or issues. I highly recommend Alpine Fit and Dr. Kyle Willets.

Kerttu Veske

22:30 11 May 21

Kyle is such a focused and caring physical therapist with a lot of tools in her toolbox. She makes sure you get the exact care you need. You leave feeling better and taken care of. I love that she tries to get to the root of the problem and doesn't just treat symptoms. Thank you!

D Darcy

09:47 02 May 21

I’d taken a bad fall in July of last year. Even allowing for a slower healing process due to my age (68) and chronic conditions, I had to admit I had been significantly impacted. My world was getting smaller and smaller. With the chaos and disruption of Covid I was stymied on how to safely get the help I needed while sheltering in place. My daughter suggested I do a FaceTime meeting with her physical therapist in Colorado. FaceTime? PT?To my surprise, it’s worked amazingly well! Kyle is tremendous. Her warm, professional demeanor makes me feel secure and valued. She listens attentively; asking for change rather than demanding or belittling. She challenges without overwhelming. My mobility and stability have improved tremendously. She is a FaceTime wonder. I can only surmise that hands-on would have me doing even better.Thank you, Kyle, for moving out the walls that were hemming me in.

Heather Fenity

15:22 01 May 21

I've worked as a massage therapist in this town for 20 years, and finding Kyle has been an absolute blessing!! Not only do I have a solid referral for my clients in need of PT services, but I too, have a place to go for my own treatment and self-care! Kyle has a wealth of information at her disposal, and combines multiple approaches to find solutions and get people back on track. I have and will continue to recommend, without hesitation, that anyone in need of physical therapy go straight to Kyle, she is the BEST!!

Lexy Adkins

15:17 01 May 21

Dr. Kyle is outstanding at what she does...and so passionate about it. I had a severe leg injury in 2011 that resulted in 5 knee surgeries. I had LOADS of physical therapy throughout that time, and was and have been very active in my rehab and maintenance of my knee health and compensation patterns being a Pilates teacher. A few years ago, I moved to Colorado and took up skiing (never thought that was in the cards for me!) which have resulted in a bit more fascial tightness and pain around my knee that Dr. Kyle was able to beautifully solve through exercises, manual therapy, and needling. I had a baby about 10 months ago and I ended up being pretty sedentary for several months. All the strength and support I had around my knee atrophied and even walking down the stairs became difficult and precarious (my ACL is loose). I was so glad that I had Dr. Kyle to partner with in getting my strength and support back so I can chase after my baby boy, get back out on the trails, and have confidence in everything I do. Thank you so much, Dr. Kyle! I'm so very appreciative of you.

Anne Lucas

19:34 27 Apr 21

Kyle is kind and very knowledgable. She has help me with a range of problems from movement to digestive.

Jules Kellogg

17:37 27 Apr 21

Kyle is amazing! It's like going to see a friend, except it's a friend that is incredibly knowledgable about human physiology, rehabilitation, and prevention. I originally came to see Kyle for knee pain and she helped me over the course of a few moths through various methods like dry needling, massage, and PT exercises.I have been to PT in the past where I was given a few exercises to do at home and then sent on my way home. Not with Kyle! She would work with me the full hour and my knee pain went away fully (it's been a couple years now!) I've gone off and on for a few random injuries, add with those, it's normally a couple sessions before I'm back to feeling myself. Thank you Kyle!

Beth Chambers

19:45 25 Apr 21

I am SO relieved I have found Kyle! I have been having hip and leg pain and was having problems finding the proper help to get me on the road to recovery. Kyle was very friendly and welcoming and assessed what she thought the problem was. She then treated the issue by dry needling, which was much more gentle then I have had in the past. I have already noticed amazing results in just one session! I look forward to continuing working with her and getting back to my normal active life!

Todd Schwartz

01:45 21 Apr 21

I am a therapist myself and have seen Dr Kyle for both physical therapy and nutritional and general wellness issues. She is knowledgeable, highly professional, focused, compassionate, and non-judgmental, and it has been enormously helpful to my health and healing to work with her. I highly recommend Dr Kyle.

Allie Olson

16:09 20 Apr 21

I've been seeing Kyle while training for an ultra marathon and have been super impressed with her commitment to keeping me healthy while training. Her dry needle therapy always loosens up my tight calves and quads and she gives great tips and exercises for improving mobility. I will continue to visit her as needed!

Lesley Harrington

20:08 19 Apr 21

I have worked with Kyle at Alpine Fit for both my rehabilitation from hip surgery and also a challenging bout with acid reflux. She has a tremendous amount of knowledge that helped me so much in both areas. Her approach looks at the whole person both physically and emotionally and her toolbox of ideas is deep. I would highly recommend Kyle!!

Craig Kane

18:15 16 Apr 21

Dr. Kyle is professional and thorough, as well as incredibly knowledgeable. I do not think i would not have gotten back to doing the activities I love without her. She also has the most beautiful office, with an adorable mascot, her pup Talula Bear.

Dr. Kyle: Thank you for strategically guiding me towards overcoming long standing health issues by utilizing a unique professional approach which encompassed dietary, physical therapy and spiritual strategy.

I have seen Dr. Kyle for nutritional & Ayurvedic wellness coaching, physical therapy, bone broth cleanses, mindfulness lifestyle improvements, & the most intuitively administered & profoundly healing cranial sacral therapy imaginable. She is a true healer— and the best part is everything is evidence based & scientifically backed. She’s the rare complete package; blending eastern & western healing modalities to holistically address her client’s issues at the root cause. She does not just resolve pain or problems— she helps elevate you to previously unimagined levels of health & wellbeing.My journey to health with Dr. Kyle began years ago, and continues today. I initially began seeing Kyle for alignment issues; psoas & postural related back & hip pain. What began as expert physical therapy for what seemed (to me) like surface level sports injuries blossomed into a much deeper & more profound reexamination of my entire approach to my body, to food, to sleep, to lifestyle & to all movement in general.As Kyle began addressing my injuries it became clear they were mere symptoms of much deeper lifestyle imbalances. I lived an extremely stressful & intense life as a stepmom to 3 teens, working professional, & recovering college athlete— meaning I tended to be Gung Ho, without ever mindfully giving myself time to rest, rarely putting my own wellness needs before the needs of others, & never considering the impacts on my body, mind, and spirit. On top of that, about a year into seeing Kyle my husband and I began going through a long IVF & implantation process to get pregnant, so I had the added layer of intensive hormonal therapy. In other words; I was a mess.Over multiple seasons of gradual, progressive, insightful appointments, Kyle peeled the onion on layers of dysfunction, helping me make long term adjustments to my diet, lifestyle, and mindset that actually stuck. There were weeks I felt like I made no progress at all or even backtracked severely, but her endlessly positive, progress-oriented, nonjudgmental & encouraging approach would always find a silver lining in my week. She’d intuitively recalibrate goals to keep them ever-attainable, & make sure I always felt like our treatment plan was manageable.There were plenty of times I felt like there was just no way I had time or energy to receive this type of consistent nutritional & lifestyle coaching with my frequent travels & hectic life, & I’d be embarrassed, overwhelmed, late to appointments, having failed to implement any of the things we’d discussed in our last appointment... and yet I never felt judged for my perceived failures or discouraged from my plan. Kyle’s loving smile, remarkable ability to hold space regardless of where I was at, and her calm & wise disposition are truly what I believe allowed me to stick with it. She is a gem of a practitioner, & I can’t imagine a more well rounded practice in Boulder. Anyone who receives care from Kyle will come away better for it.Fast forward several years— my husband sees Kyle for physical therapy, I have a beautiful, healthy 6 month old baby boy, & I never even think about the things we’ve worked on over the years as they’re now so ingrained in my daily routines. I’ve incorporated her recommendations & guidance to the point it’s truly second nature. I sleep far better, eat mindfully, have eliminated all problematic foods without any cravings, consume way less caffeine throughout the day (& need less! Even with a baby!) I can center myself with meditation & mindful movement & stretches in moments of stress without it feeling like a chore. And most of all I feel seen & celebrated for all I’ve accomplished.I’m now on a postpartum journey where a whole new host of hormonal fluctuations and structural issues present themselves— giving birth & caring for a large, heavy baby are not without their physical impacts. But I know with time & gentle, progressive care from Kyle I will heal & once again be thriving.Could not recommend her highly enough. Seeing Dr. Kyle is a gift to yourself that will keep on giving.

At the end of 2019 I made a New Years resolution to address my nagging shoulder issue. 6 days into 2020 - my shoulder kick started my resolution with a “pop” and not in the bubbly sense of the word. I got the shoulder back into working order over the next 5 weeks and then attempted weight training which put my shoulder back out of commission. The next day was covid lockdown.Two weeks passed and I was referred to Kyle. During our initial discussion I knew she would be able to help me and actually became “my person” during covid. She was able to get me out of pain, give me a plan which worked/works and is a pleasure to be around. I really look forward to our sessions and discussing how to progress (at the right pace) and especially Talulah (the delightful therapy dog) excellent assistance.You know when you meet the right people who are there to support, lift and make you better- Kyle is that. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to overcome pain/ injury/ health challenges.Liz

Kyle is a wealth of knowledge! I recently worked with her on some very uncomfortable indigestion issues. She helped me create a dietary protocol that was easy to follow and relieved my symptoms. We worked together to find the root of the issue I was having so I could be symptom free (which I now am!). Kyle has also helped me with PT work from a back issue to a darn IT band problem. I would highly recommend working with Kyle, she is a kind and caring practitioner. Her enthusiasm for nutrition and physical alignment is exactly what I want to see from my healthcare specialist.

A couple of years ago I threw out my shoulder while doing some woodworking in my shop. A trusted friend recommended Dr. Kyle Willets as a good choice for physical therapy and so I visited her office.Right away I felt at ease with Kyle - she’s warm, kind, super knowledgeable, and clearly loves to help people. And over the next couple of months she helped my shoulder get back to 100%.It’s been a couple of years since that first injury, and I still go and visit Kyle regularly as part of my body wellness program. I’m getting a little older and she helps me with aches and pains in my joints, and she gives me regular advice on how to better care for my body.Kyle has even advised me on nutrition - she knows a lot about that too. I have a goal of losing 25 pounds and she is working with me on that as well.Kyle is a lovely human being, and I’m glad to have her as a resource and as a friend. I highly recommend her.

Ell Peterson

20:02 07 Apr 21

Kyle is a very thoughtful and thorough educator when it comes to wellness. I have never sensed any kind of judgement from her when discussing my health. She helped me reevaluate I interact with my own personal journey to wellness/overall health.

If you want to get out of pain and back to the outdoor adventures you love, you need to see Dr. Kyle Willets. After hiking the three-loop pass in Aspen, 30 miles with 4 peaks at over 12,000 ft, in under three days - I was hurting. My left knee, specifically. I knew immediately to go see Kyle. She helped diagnose the root cause of the pain in my muscles and knee, gave me incredible care and comfort for rehab next steps. We practiced them together, and she also used massage and dry needling for some immediate relief while I saw her. Kyle takes her time, is incredibly knowledgable, and makes you feel safe in her presence.

I came to Kyle in tears, with a pulled lower back, limited movement, and in a tremendous amount of pain. Not only was Dr. Willets able to coax my muscles to release with dry needling and cupping, but also she diagnosed the source of my injury, and provided me the tools and knowledge to prevent it from happening again.Dr. Willets' office is a calm, healing environment, and her professionalism and clear expertise had me feeling better — and back to doing the activities I love — in just a week. I highly recommend Alpine Fit!

Dr. Willets is personable, thoughtful, deliberate, and detailed. Her focused and disciplined approach is amazing. She has a private practice and a very comfortable setting that is perfect for healing. She is extremely knowledgeable and uses visual tools to show patients their anatomy and physiology and then combines approaches from both East and West for an integrated approach to healing. Dr. Willets is well regarded and comes highly recommended. And, she's very conveniently located in the center of Boulder.

My PT session with Kyle was enlightening. I appreciated her attitude and boundless knowledge on how to stretch, exercise and monitor my body. I will and would recommend her practice others!Thanks, Kyle!

I visited Apline Fit for two reasons: 1. As a supplement to my in-network PT for rehabing a tough sprained ankle. 2. To help me prepare for an ultra-endurance mountain biking race.Over ~6 sessions, Dr. Willets was extremely informative, patient, and supportive of my goals and injury. She provided exercises to do at home, and in session body treatment and drills. I credit her to helping me complete my 8 day race without any injuries at all! Highly recommended.

Dr. Willets was such a lucky find! She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, kind and effective. She helped me non surgically heal a shoulder injury that has been uncomfortable for years. The office is conveniently located, clean and welcoming! I couldn't be happier with the results and found her holistic approach to be such a good fit for my needs. I would highly recommend!

Kyle is beyond amazing! I was struggling with some deep wrist and nerve pain and within my first session felt immediate relief. She has a strong understanding of pain management, rehabilitation, and preventative strategies that will have a long term impact on my self care.

Wonderful PT! I’d been injured for 2 months and after going to Alpine fit for 3 weeks I was back to running with no signs of my knee returning to injury. I feel much stronger and far better equipped to train on grueling terrain with exercises that will keep my body in working order. Both the exercises and in person muscle massaging quickly produced very positive results.

Dr. Willets is fantastic to work with. Having an autoimmune disease isn’t easy, but she’s helped me manage my symptoms through a nutrition plan that works for me and my tastebuds. She doesn’t just give you a fish so you eat for a day, she teaches you to fish and navigate the ingredient “waters” of the grocery store.

My first PT told me there was nothing she could do for my ankle problems. I had given up hope that I would recover, but then I went to see Kyle (out of network) and after each session I noticed progress, and after 5 sessions I had a full recovery. Highly recommend.

I went to Dr. Willets for a stiff, swollen knee and feared I would wind up needing a surgeon. She is a very skilled diagnostician and even without MRI imaging, she was able to figure out my problem. She does super effective manual therapy and gave me great advice for home exercises which didn't feel like a long list of chores, but rather simple things that were easy to do and helped me change the way I move. With her treatments and guidance, my effusion has resolved, my meniscus has settled down, and I have my full range of motion back. I highly recommend Dr. Willets. She is fantastic!

I've seen specialist after specialist for an injury and must say that Dr. Kyle is 10/10 amazing.Dry needling is often kinda jarring but she was gentle and helped me feel much better.

PT is tough. Living an active lifestyle with chronic injuries is even tougher. Kyle and Alpine Fit help me manage both. With two shoulder tears in as many years and longterm injuries to hip and knee, I've personally had a lot of body work and worked with numerous clinicians in Boulder over the years. I've been working with Kyle for most of 2018 and here are the elements have helped me make real, longterm, lasting gains:- Genuine personal attention: taking the time to know my injuries, my style to design and continually adjust a rehabilitation plan accordingly.- Accessibility: the ability to actually schedule sessions (not weeks out) and find the time to do more if its a rough week or reduce sessions if my body is doing well- Depth of knowledge and techniques available: Kyle has an excellent working knowledge of kinesiology and physiology and uses it to develop protocols that are effective and not overtaxing at the same time. The ability to vary between cupping, dry needle, manual manipulation, edge tool, stretching, and measure and track progress provides a overbuilt tool chest of techniques which is exactly what you need to make real progress rather then just treat symptoms like most PTs out there.If you are looking for a place that gives you a take home sheet of exercises and red and green bands and says ;come back in four weeks for your next paper' this is definitely NOT the place for you. Also, if you are looking for a magic fix and don't want to put in any effort, this isn't the place either (and good luck- because such things don't exist once you cross into your 30s!). If you live an active lifestyle but have had some setbacks and want to invest in improving them and yourself as a whole, then I would recommend Alpine Fit.

When my orthopedist suggested that I try physical therapy to alleviate my low back pain, I was less than enthusiastic. Been there, done that. Fortunately, a friend recommended Alpine Fit and Dr. Kyle Willets.After years of hunching over a computer all day, my neck, shoulders and low back were all in terrible shape and my posture was awful. Kyle has taken a holistic approach to help relieve my muscle issues and help me reshape, retrain and strengthen my muscles in an effort to reduce pain and improve mobility. The results have been fantastic and I feel fortunate to have found Kyle and Alpine Fit.

Kyle has refreshing, holistic view of health and has been wonderful to work with. As a life-long athlete, I've had plenty of doctors thoughtlessly prescribe a regiment of ice and painkillers for any injury. You will find the exact opposite at Alpine Fit.The initial mechanical evaluation was thorough with diet, stress, previous medical history, and current lifestyle all being taken into account. During my sessions she helped alleviate my symptoms immediately, but was always searching for the root cause and long term solution.Alpine Fit has exceeded all of my expectations for any professional in the health space.

Kyle is just the best. I had a lot of medical professionals give me things to work on and advise but nothing was really working. So I lived with pain for years thinking that is just how it was. Kyle reached out and I am so happy she did. The difference she has made in my life is amazing. I feel so much better then I ever have and it has allowed me to start showing up again fully in every part of my life.

Physical Therapy with Kyle at Alpine Fit has been excellent. Personal attention, careful explanation and calibration of exercises based on how my body is progressing and reacting to the exercise regimen have all helped me to make solid progress after ACL surgery.

Kyle was in charge of rehabbing my shoulder after a recent surgery. I requested a rehab program based on exercises I could perform on my own. She started by performing an in depth evaluation of the shoulder and based on that, gave me a series of exercises to restore the shoulder to full mobility and function. She put a lot of effort into making sure I understood how to correctly perform the exercises, including making a video and sending me an email in which she described them. We then had regular session where she evaluated my progress and adjusted my regimen accordingly. Thanks in large part to her efforts and oversight, the shoulder now is fully functional and feels great!Among the reasons why I liked working with Kyle and recommend her and Alpine Fit:She was very attentive to how the program was working for me -- she was not locked into any preconceived notions she might have had and continually adapted her views and my program to how my shoulder was progressing and my overall physical situation.Her in-depth knowledge of a wide range of healing modalities including exercise, anatomy, diet, kinesiology, yoga, massage and sleep made her a one stop for any wellness questions I had. She didn't just treat my shoulder but with my overall well-being. I feel that she is a good resource for any health-related question I have. As an example of her general flexibility and desire help her patients in any way possible, she once met me at my gym to observe and provide feedback on my workout routine.She is very personable, her scheduling is very flexible and her rates very reasonable.While I don't necessarily look forward to needing medical attention, I do look forward to working with Kyle in the future.

I have seen Kyle for nutrition counseling as well as physical therapy, both with incredible results. Her approach and demeanor is gentle and kind, and her base of knowledge is astounding. I have suffered with chronic neck pain for many years, and in a very short time, Kyle has gotten me to a level of mobility and freedom from pain that I didn't think was possible. I've never looked forward to PT so much in my life ( and I've had a lot of it). Whether you're looking to gain insight into your nutritional habits, or are rehabbing an injury/struggling with chronic pain, I would highly recommend going to see Kyle - your body will thank you.

I loved working with Dr. Kyle for physical therapy! She is very professional and loving. She truly wants to help her patient's and her dedication to her patients' well being and overall health is inspiring and appreciated. My ankle is recovering well and I believe with time will be strong again. My elbow is challenging, however, I believe the dry needling is working and hopefully, with time, will cure a 5 year old problem. Dr. Kyle is very kind and understanding, yet lays it on the line for what needs to get done for success in recovery.

Dr. Kyle brings a warmness and kindness that accompanies someone doing something from a place of love and self-fulfillment. She has a strong enthusiasm for her work, but tempers that with a calmness of mind and demeanor. I came to her with a neck problem and she offered me exercises and diet advice. I'm feeling better already.

At the time I started working with Dr. Kyle and Alpine Fit for physical therapy I was coming out of six years of health challenges, including: two cardiac stent procedures, a hernia mesh surgery, 7 days of hospitalization for extreme pneumonia, prostate cancer surgery, a difficult case of sciatica resulting in leg and foot numbness. In light of this list, Kyle has been intelligent and encouraging about setting expectations for therapy along with a positive attitude and sense of humor. It seems to have made a real difference in how I feel and act.I have experienced a consistent upgrade in exercise ability and improvement in posture! And, surprisingly, I’ve seen an improved attitude in general about fitting exercise and health improvement into daily routine. Overall I’ve seen an increase in muscle tone and strength and improvement in spine stability and awareness.Dr. Kyle is perceptive to individual needs and personality. She creates realistic expectations combined with encouragement to reach far better performance.Working with Alpine Fit for physical therapy and exercise has exceeded my expectations largely because of the accountability combined with achievable expectations. Texting records of performance tracking has provided a daily reason to keep track of things and stay honest with self.

My shoulder feels so much better! I really enjoyed my sessions with you and I appreciated the custom exercises and feedback from you. I now feel so much more confident in my home practice. And I loved the massage and passive stretching you incorporated into the sessions - they really helped me shift completely how I feel in my body. I now feel empowered to do get back to yoga feeling injury free AND knowing how to prevent it from coming back!

Caroline Cohen

At first I was hesitant to work with Dr. Kyle. I’ve been in pain for 6 years and nothing’s changed it, why will physical therapy this be any different? But, I’m so glad I did! Since working together I’ve learned strategies to manage my pain as it comes up and even though I still get pain I am doing things - like camping, running (which I haven’t been able to do for six years), and biking up steep mountain roads I was afraid to ride before. Using what I’ve learned from Dr. Kyle I am more aware of my posture and how I move throughout the day. I still get pain but I’m much more confident about how to get it under control and just have an off day versus not be able to get back out and be active the next day. I’m so thankful to be on a road to health and feeling more confident in my body!
