WHO IS IMPACT SPORTS MEDICINE

Who is Impact Sports Medicine?


Keith Christianssen is the principle owner of Impact Sports Medicine, and has been a Physical Therapist for over 22 years and in the Denver Metro community for over 17 years. Keith did his undergraduate education in Athletic Training at San Diego State University, and went to Physical Therapy school at Northwestern Medical School in Chicago.  After college, Keith migrated back to San Diego, where he worked for the team physician for the San Diego Charger, and worked with the San Diego Gulls (IHL Hockey) and the San Diego Padres.  Keith also had opportunities to work with two colleges, major league indoor soccer, and America’s Cup sailing.

After returning to Colorado, Keith worked for HealthSouth in Denver, Wheat Ridge, and Birmingham, Alabama before deciding to open Impact Sports Medicine in 2005.  As an Athletic Trainer, Keith and the Impact Sports Medicine staff have covered many local events such as Soccer tournaments, football and basketball games for Broomfield and Boulder County schools, and many 10K events.  We have also committed time, energy, and money to the Wounded Warrior Project and the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.  The Physical Therapists at Impact Sports Medicine have also worked with athletes from the Colorado Rockies, Colorado Rapids, the University of Colorado, Colorado Christian University, Colorado School of Mines, and several Olympic skaters and marathon runners.

Keith has worked with the American Sports Medicine Institute and several PGA teaching professionals in developing a golf mechanics program, which is presently being utilized on the PGA tour.  Currently, Keith travels extensively teaching continuing education for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers.  This year, he is teaching courses on shoulder rehabilitation and throwing mechanics, and an advanced lower extremity rehabilitation and running course through North American Seminars.  Because of Keith’s relationship with North American Seminars, Impact Sports Medicine has been able to host many continuing education courses, which has allowed the Impact Sports Medicine staff to stay on the cutting edge of rehabilitation techniques.

Programs

Great things are happening at Impact Sports Medicine!
We are continuing to develop programs to better meet our patient’s needs, and we want to be your provider of choice. To ensure the best possible rehabilitation outcomes, Impact Sports Medicine continues to provide one-on-one care with only highly skilled physical therapists. In addition to providing cutting-edge physical therapy services, we now have additional services and new wellness programs.



CUSTOM ORTHOTICS: We make custom Orthotics for less than “Good Feet”! We do a complete biomechanical evaluation, fit with the appropriate Orthotics, and follow up to maximize proper fit and utilization. We also utilize the ALINE insole system that was originally designed for the X-Games. With ALINES, we can make custom adjustments to an off-the-shelf device, for a reasonable price.


AFTER CARE: This program is designed for patients that have exhausted their insurance benefits yet still require supervised exercise, or require assistance with monitoring or modifying home exercise program. After care is scheduled by appointment during normal office hours.



RUNNING GAIT ANALYSIS: : 82% of the population are heel strikers, and 82% of those runners will sustain an annual injury.  This program is designed to analyze an athlete's gait, and provide feedback and drills to improve their running mechanics. 


GOLF FIT: This program was developed with several top PGA teaching professionals to address flexibility, strength, and posture, as they relate to the golf swing. We will do a complete biomechanical evaluation, and design a program to improve anyone’s ability to swing a golf club.



BIKE FIT: To maximize posture, power, and position, everyone should have their bike professionally fit. This program was originally designed by the Specialized Bike research division in conjunction with top medical providers.
