Back in 2012, I started my journey as a sports physical therapist after watching some old YouTube videos from a coach named Kelly Starrett. I noticed right away that athletes were only getting back to 80% with traditional PT. Why? Because of insurance rules or because they lost hope.
During the pandemic, I signed up for an extra year of training called a residency. Then I went to work with the Minnesota Twins. For two years, I helped pro athletes recover and get back on the field, while also learning from some of the smartest coaches/athletic trainers/physical therapists in the country.
In 2024, I opened PRO Athlete Physical Therapy bringing everything I learned from an MLB team and we quickly grew to 3 locations. Our goal is simple: get athletes healthy, keep them healthy and help them get to the next level.
The word PRO stands for two things.
1. We literally treat pro athletes, and
2. We are also figuratively PRO athlete because we support the human who happens to be an athlete, no matter their level. We are pro athlete.
If I'm not helping athletes get back to better than 100%, you'll catch me glamping with my wife, 3 dogs and 2 rabbits. Oh and playing fantasy football.
Thaddeus has always loved helping others. That's why his favorite part about working in pro sports was the relationships he built with his athletes while on the road and in the athletic training room 9-10 months out of the year. He started his journey to athletic training by graduating from Adams State University in 2018 with a Bachelor's in Exercise Science. He then graduated with his Master's degree in Athletic Training in 2021.
Before his final internship with the Minnesota Twins ended in 2021, they offered him a full time position as an athletic trainer. He quickly became an organization favorite because of his skills and ability to relate to athletes.
During his time in pro baseball, Thaddeus helped minor leaguers and big leaguers across the organization stay on the field and reach their potential. After spending over 5 years in this role, he decided it was time to come home to Colorado and pass down his knowledge and experience in a different way.
Enter PRO Athlete Physical Therapy where Thaddeus leads the Armcare/Maintenance and Performance department. Thaddeus' philosophy starts with learning what motivates each athlete, their goals then working backwards to prepare them physically and mentally to reach those goals. In his spare time you'll catch him spending time with his twin brother in the Springs, exercising and earning his title as "The PC Gaming King" (which only Edwin refers to him as).
Born and raised in Westminster and Louisville and having attended both Metro State University (undergrad) and Regis (Doctorate in Physical Therapy), Dr. Miranda Murray is a Coloradan through and through.
Miranda’s educational roots run as deep as her passion for helping athletes smash goals. She believes movement is medicine and data drives progress. She blends hands-on work, performance testing, and specific exercise programming in every session with athletes. From little leaguers all the way to Big Leaguers and NFL prospects, Miranda has a sharpened understanding to help athletes of all levels.
As someone living with Type 1 diabetes, Miranda brings a personal understanding of the daily demands of managing health while chasing athletic goals—and she walks the walk every day with her patients. Outside the clinic, you’ll find her trying to master the perfect golf swing, catching the next home Avalanche game, writing creative (and intense) gym programs, or brainstorming her next home improvement project.
