Tim currently provides clinical care through Mile High Physical Therapy & Balance Centers in Denver’s Lowry neighborhood. Reframe Aging is the framework and educational platform; your clinical visit is scheduled and delivered through Mile High.

A yearly physical therapy visit for strength, mobility, balance, and long-term function.
For adults who are not dealing with an acute problem but want a real, measured picture of where they stand — and a specific plan for the year ahead.

A thorough, hands-on evaluation for a specific injury, surgery, or new limitation — back pain and sciatica, balance and dizziness, hip or knee pain, post-surgical and joint-replacement recovery — followed by ongoing treatment, progressive exercise, and education that builds toward more than just a return to baseline. Recovery is the floor, not the ceiling.
A focused conversation for a specific question — about fall risk and fall prevention, balance, an exercise or strength-training program, a change you have noticed, or whether physical therapy is the right next step at all. Honest input without committing to a full course of care.
A yearly physical therapy visit for strength, mobility, balance, and long-term function.
Most people monitor their blood pressure, cholesterol, and lab values. Few people monitor their physical capacity.
Most annual wellness visits review health history, medications, fall risk questions, and lab markers. Those matter — but they rarely measure what your body can actually do. The Annual Capacity Assessment fills that gap.
Range of motion is one piece of the picture — measured alongside strength, balance, gait, endurance, and the reserve behind them.
The Annual Capacity Assessment is a 90-minute, hands-on evaluation built to fill that gap. It measures your movement, strength, power, balance, endurance, and your ability to perform the real-world tasks that matter most — picking up a grandchild, carrying groceries, climbing stairs with a load, getting up from the floor.
Each individual measure is compared with published reference data for your age and sex. The results are then summarized in the Physical Reserve Score — a Reframe Aging composite designed to make several validated measures easier to understand together. The composite itself is not presented as a separately validated clinical instrument.
You leave with the individual results, a one-page report card, the Reframe Aging summary score, and a written plan with specific priorities — not generic advice.

If clinical care is the right next step, scheduling occurs through Mile High. A full history is taken privately at your visit.
Reframe Aging is not the right fit for every situation. If you need urgent surgical evaluation, specialized oncology care, or a high-volume insurance-based clinic with quick turnaround, there are excellent practices in Denver that will serve you better.
What Reframe Aging offers is depth, time, and a long-horizon clinical perspective. Sessions are deliberate. Assessment is thorough. The work is oriented toward where you want to be in ten years, not just how you feel after six visits.
If that is what you are looking for, reach out. Tim responds to every message personally and is happy to talk through whether this is a good fit before any commitment is made.
