Meet Patrick Naylor<\/span>
\nPT, MS, MBA-HA, FAAOMPT, Dip. Osteopractic<\/span>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n\nPatrick Naylor is a fellowship-trained manual physical therapist with over 27 years of clinical experience and a lifelong passion for movement, performance, and precision care. He founded Boulder Osteopractic Physical Therapy (BOPT) to deliver one-on-one, high-level treatment that integrates the best of evidence-based practice with elite manual therapy skills \u2014 all tailored to the active Boulder lifestyle.\n

\nPatrick holds advanced credentials rarely found in a solo practice setting:\n

\n
    \n\n
  • FAAOMPT (Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists), a distinction held by fewer than 1% of U.S. physical therapists.<\/li>\n\n
  • Diploma in Osteopractic through the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy (AAMT), which certifies expertise in spinal and extremity thrust manipulation, dry needling, and differential diagnosis.<\/li>\n\n
  • An MS in Physical Therapy from Regis University and an MBA in Health Administration from CU Denver.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\nBefore launching BOPT, Patrick served as Physical Therapy Manager at the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine and he has worked extensively across orthopedic, sports, and manual therapy settings.\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/span>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Who He Treats<\/span>\n

    \n\n
    \n\t\nPatrick works extensively with:

    \n
      \n\n\t\n\t
    • Athletes (cyclists, runners, triathletes, skiers, and strength athletes)<\/li>\n\n\t
    • Weekend warriors who want to stay competitive and pain-free<\/li>\n\n\t
    • Active adults and professionals who demand individualized, effective care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAs an athlete himself \u2014 a Gold Medalist in Downhill Inline Skating at the ESPN X Games, Colorado State Criterium Champion, and former professional mogul skier \u2014 Patrick understands firsthand the mindset and demands of high-performing individuals.\n\n\t\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
      Philosophy of Care<\/span>\n

      \n\n
      \n\t\nPatrick\u2019s clinical approach centers on:

      \n
        \n\n\t\n\t
      • Root-cause diagnosis, not symptom-chasing<\/li>\n\n\t
      • Manual therapy first, not passive modalities or cookie-cutter exercise plans<\/li>\n\n\t
      • Patient education and empowerment, so you understand why you're doing what you're doing<\/li>\n\t\n\t
      • Elite tools for elite results: HVLAT (high-velocity low-amplitude thrust manipulation), electrical dry needling, blood flow restriction training (BFR), neuromuscular re-education, and more<\/li>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<\/ul>\nTreatment is always one-on-one, private, and fully customized. Sessions take place in your home, office, gym, or outdoor location of choice \u2014 maximizing both comfort and convenience.\n\n\n\t\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
        What is Osteopractic Physical Therapy?<\/span><\/center>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
        \n\t\nAn Osteopractor is a physical therapist<\/strong> that has completed an evidence-based post-graduate training program in the use of spinal and extremity thrust manipulation, ultrasound-guided dry needling, instrument-assisted manual therapies, and differential diagnostics for the diagnosis and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal conditions.\n\n\t\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
        \n\t\n\tOsteopractic Physical Therapy is an approach to care, a sub-specialty within physical therapy<\/strong>, and more accurately describes the kind of physical therapy services (rather than simply \u201cphysical therapy\u201d) offered so the public, potential patients and colleagues alike, can identify the appropriate practitioner of choice for the condition in question.\n\t\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
        \n\t\n\tWhen you break a bone, you look for an orthopedist, not just a general medical doctor.<\/strong> When you have a skin condition, you go to the dermatologist. When your child needs medical care, you look for a pediatrician, not just a general medical doctor. Likewise, when you have neck pain, low back pain, headaches, tennis elbow, heel pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, shoulder impingement, or joint pain etc., it makes sense to look for a specialist within physical therapy, i.e. an Osteopractic Physical Therapist or Osteopractor, not a generalist, that is specifically trained and has advanced post-graduate qualifications to treat neuromusculoskeletal conditions.\n\n\n\t\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
