I was a patient of Nick’s. I’ve had chronic right shoulder pain and was looking for a knowledgeable PT to help me pinpoint my issue as well as to help me be able to continue weight lifting. I was concerned about causing further injury as I’m in my mid 50s and want to continue engaging in resistance training. I found a great therapist. Nick assessed my shoulder thoroughly and found some areas of weakness I wasn’t aware of even though I am a PT myself. He developed a great program for me and helped me re-introduce exercises in my lifting program that I had avoided for some time. He is awesome at communicating and providing feedback and he sends out a weekly home exercise program that is very helpful. He also helped me learn how to lift properly in other areas I was concerned about and I am enjoying my work outs much more now. I had 4 visits and feel it resolved my problems. I’m referring my husband over there too. I highly recommend Nick and Backcountry PT.

Came in as a competitive marathon runner with lateral hip pain during strength training. Nick quickly identified it as overreaching rather than a structural issue, factored in exactly where I was in my training cycle, and gave me a plan that made sense for someone 6 weeks out from a goal race. Knowledgeable, practical, and clearly someone who gets endurance sport. Highly recommend.

Working with Backcountry PT and Dr Nick is the best decision I could have made for recovery from a shoulder injury. He was able to evaluate me and give me a personalized treatment plan with my specific goals in mind. By the end of my PT sessions, my injury was fully healed and I was able to do exercises I’ve been apprehensive about for years due to fear of injury. I strongly recommend them to anyone looking to return to activity and be better than ever!!

I am a primary care physician and I send patients to Scott often. In my 9 years of clinical experience the vast majority of patients I send to PT through standard insurance do not get better. Literally every patient I have sent him has gotten better. Can't recommend him enough. He is worth the cost

I highly recommend Back Country PT to anyone. I had a high grade tear in my hamstring tendon and thought I would never get back to running or biking. Dr. Scott taught me many exercises to strengthen and lengthen my hamstring and am now running pain free.

Dr. Scott Runyon at Backcountry Physical Therapy did a great job working on my golfers elbow. He utilized Dry Needling. My elbow has no pain now!! I can now get back to weight lifting.Dr. Runyon knew that I was nervous, but he was extremely patient and understanding. I would recommend his services to anyone!

I've seen great progress over the first 3 weeks and at this pace, I'm confident that I'll reach my recovery and fitness goals.

I am a massage therapist and my clients that have gone to Backcountry Physical Therapy for their injuries rave about the care they received and how much it helped them recover. I highly recommend Dr. Scott if you are looking for an effective treatment plan that is not just standard protocol but is specific for you.

Backcountry Physical Therapy and their entire crew absolutely know what they’re doing — and do it with real care. Their treatments and performance-oriented approach are top-notch, and the team actually listens and guides you through recovery and beyond. If you’re active — hiking, skiing, lifting, or just want to move pain-free while staying strong — this is the place to go. After working with them, I feel more confident in my movement, more mobile, and way less worried about nagging aches or re-injury. Highly recommend to anyone who wants expert PT that actually helps you get back to doing what you love.

I highly recommend working with Dr. Scott and Backcountry Physical Therapy. Scott is knowledgeable, explained concepts well, patient, and his methods are tailored and effective. I recommend seeing him immediately if you've experienced plantar fasciitis at all.

I can’t say enough good things about Backcountry PT and their team. After dealing with shoulder and back injuries that had me worried about how long recovery might take, I was amazed at how quickly I started to feel real progress.From day one, they took the time to understand the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. Every session was personalized, challenging, and motivating — exactly what I needed. The mix of hands-on treatment, targeted exercises, and education on how to move and strengthen properly made all the difference.I’m back to doing the things I love, pain-free and stronger than before. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, knows their craft inside and out, and gets results fast, Scott is the one to see!

Dr. Scott is great. Practical, focused, and really tailors plans to what you need. He helped me with a hamstring issue, so when my knee started acting up, it was great to go back to someone I trust. He also gave me long-term tips for lifting and training that I use in my normal routine. 5 stars!

2025-10-28T18:22:11.506Z

Scott is a caring and knowledgable therapist and I am so glad I am his patient. God bless ya buddy. Feeling Good AGAIN!!!!!

I had been struggling with plantar/foot pain for almost 2 years and had basically stopped exercising because of it. I decided to see Dr. Scott on a recommendation from a friend, and I'm so glad I did. We had a lot of work to do, but I'm now back to running and hiking again! I'm so grateful for Dr. Scott's expertise, care, and patience, and absolutely recommend Backcountry PT.

Scott is great! Came in with myriad issues, mainly back pain caused by poor posture and strength imbalances. We worked over the course of 10 sessions to address that as well as myriad other issues.He listens, stays within your comfort level but still challenges you (only way to see progress, after all) and is easygoing to work with. I can go on much longer hikes now without intense pain. I appreciated the convenience of the online portal to access my exercises.

Great service! I had a calf injury that had been bothering me for a year, and after consistent work and putting a game plan together, they had me back up and running (literally running). Highly recommended and affordable pricing too.

op-notch physical therapy! Larainna is knowledgeable, attentive, and tailors treatments to your specific needs. My recovery progressed faster than expected thanks to their hands-on approach and encouragement. Highly recommend!

2025-10-08T21:10:43.728Z

I’d recommend BPT to anyone. I’ve been seeing Larainna, she’s hands on and very knowledgeable. She goes out of her way to make every appointment educational and make sure your needs are met.

2025 edit: I've continued to go to Dr. Scott whenever I have any issues--knee pain, plantar fasciitis, pelvic misalignment, etc. He always takes the time to figure out exactly what's going on and come up with a plan of action. When my PF wasn't getting better after several months of therapy, he also wasn't afraid to recommend I go to ortho and get another opinion. I respect him even more for that. In other words, the 5 stars continues.I happened to find Scott last fall after my insurance stopped covering my PT sessions for a torn piriformis & misaligned pelvis. Things were a little better, but I still wasn't able to run without major pain. Within a few weeks of seeing him, I was able to run easier and start pushing my distance, and after a couple months I was back to doing 30-40 mile weeks. This month I ran a 25-mile race pain-free, and stronger than I've ever been. He is very patient and professional, has a good mix of manual therapy + exercise homework, and is always willing to take a look at other issues even if they have nothing to do with what you came in for (benefits of not going with insurance!). I have an arsenal of exercises and stretches that will support all my athletic activities, and won't hesitate to call on him again if I have any other injuries in the future!

I was having some back issues - Scott's willingness to meet with me and get my bike dialed in let me to keep my date with climbing up Pike's Peak the next day!
