“I was first referred to Brent Yamashita by my doctor. I consider this referral to be a turning point in my healing journey. I was instantly comfortable with Brent. He has an uncommon grasp of empathy which I have found lacking in my 20+ year journey back to wellness. Initially, I was shocked at how quickly he could help relieve many of my chronic pain issues. Over time I realized that I was learning a wealth of information that would prove to be invaluable in addressing not only my physical ailments but also in relieving severe depression, insomnia, and debilitating anxiety. Over the past months, my recovery has been nothing short of miraculous. I now feel as though I have been given a second chance at life and I attribute much of that to the care I’ve received from Brent. Steamboat Springs is one lucky community to have Mountain Springs PT!”

“Every active person eventually needs a healer and a guide. For me, Karen Church has been a miracle worker. she has helped me heal my various aches and pains. She is a highly trained Functional Manual Physical Therapist and I recommend her to anyone who is dealing with any kind of pain or injury due to an accident or the accumulated stress of working out. She is also an educator and has a very down to earth way of explaining the why and how as well as the cure for what ails me. Even if you think your situation is dire, you will be surprised at how much better you will feel after only one treatment with Karen.”

— Desiree Rumbaugh - San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

“For the past two decades, my goal has been to maintain as much mobility as possible.
Thanks to Mountain Springs Physical Therapy and its team of therapists who incorporate experience and practice in on-going, very current expanded methods of treatment, I am actually experiencing increased over-all health rather than the expected deterioration of approaching elder years.”

—Mary Ezequelle- Gypsum, CO

“Brent is a brilliant body worker with an intuitive approach towards his adjustments.
I have confidence to pursue an active Steamboat lifestyle knowing that he will realign me whatever happens.
FYI Brent is our Doctors’ “go to guy” for their own issues!!!”

— Audrey Hays - Steamboat Springs, CO

“Karen is an exceptional physical therapist. I have seen her for two different issues now, and she has really helped me with both my back and my shoulder. I have seen other PT’s for my back without much success. Karen was able to identify the issue and give me the guidance and therapy that I needed to in order to work toward being properly aligned, which has really made a world of difference in how my back feels and the level of activity I am able to do.”

— Erin Gleason - Glenwood Springs, CO

“I am currently 75 years old and have had issues with my back since 1996 as well as, other medical issues of consequence over the years. Unlike other therapists and physicians, Brent treats me, not merely my presenting symptoms. I would say that he knows me better than any other healthcare professional that I have ever encountered. In the distant past I have been treated by other professionals but I have never felt the benefits that I have been provided by Brent. My primary residence is Philadelphia, PA and I have on occasion flown to Steamboat just to have an hour or two of Brent’s time – time that has never been wasted. I am lucky in that I am in a position where I could go anywhere in the country for healthcare - I have always opted for Brent and have never been disappointed. I have also been treated by other people in Brent’s practice. While I would always opt for Brent, the others have always proven more than helpful and I have always felt that it was time well spent.”

—Barry Elson -Philadelphia, PA and Steamboat Springs, CO

“After leading a very active life, I found myself unable to sit down with pain in my lower back. No therapy was working until I underwent physical therapy with Brent in Steamboat. As a true PT innovator, if one technique for my pain didn't work, Brent would find another. During this time, Brent also worked with my trainer to help improve my bio-mechanics, so as to prevent future flare-ups. Since this incredible breakthrough, I have worked with Brent to maintain neck range of motion. Even though I live in Utah, I often target Steamboat as a getaway with seeing Brent as the key to the trip's itinerary.”

—Lorin Paley-Park City, Utah

“For over three years I have contended with a frozen shoulder which involved sharp pain and limited movement on a daily basis. Having successfully worked with Brent in the past on other issues, he began addressing spinal issues that were the basis for the shoulder pain and I experienced immediate relief. The bonus part was the continued work with his new employee, Gabriel, who has not only continued the progress started by Brent, but corrected my posture, neck issues, released fascia throughout arms even hands and lower back. The overall body change and pain relief has been remarkable. Gabriel has an incredible understanding of whole body work and function. His approach to healing is incredible - can't thank him enough for his work!”

—Steph Smith-Steamboat Springs, CO

“I am a professional athlete whose performance depends on my physicality. I have been to PT’s all over the country and ended up seeing Brent while recovering from a Meniscectomy. I was trying to get back to a full performance level in a very short time and Brent was amazing at guiding me. He believed in me but also encouraged me to slow down when necessary. Between his manual therapy and retraining the mechanics I feel I had the perfect guidance in rehabbing from surgery. I have seen several of the therapists at Mountain Springs Physical Therapy and have never been disappointed. They not only have a full body approach but a full person approach! I would highly recommend any of the therapists whether you are looking for a tune up or rehabbing from an injury.”
