Expert Dry Needling in Boulder, CO
Chronic pain, nagging injuries, and tight muscles holding you back from training, trails, or the mountains? At Fullswift Physio + Performance, our Doctors of Physical Therapy use advanced dry needling in Boulder, CO — combined with hands-on manual therapy and performance rehab — to find the root cause and get you moving again. No referral needed. No insurance hoops.

Still Dealing With Pain That Won't Quit?
Most Boulder athletes don't quit because of their injury — they quit because the care they tried never got to the real problem. Sound familiar?
Generic PT That Goes Nowhere
You've done the theraband exercises and ice-and-rest routine. You were handed a printed sheet and shared a table with two other patients — and the pain came right back the moment you returned to training.
Told to Just Rest or Wait for Surgery
A provider told you to stop doing what you love — with no clear timeline and no real plan. You're not ready to accept that answer, and you shouldn't have to.
Treating Symptoms, Not Root Causes
Short appointments, rotating staff, and cookie-cutter protocols leave the real source of your pain untouched. Temporary relief fades, and you're back to square one — frustrated and losing training time.

"I've had chronic shoulder pain for years, and Jesse's dry needling relieved it in a way nothing else ever has. That personalized approach is exactly what yielded the results I'd been hoping for."
Your Path Back to Peak Performance in 3 Steps
Step 1: Deep-Dive Evaluation
Your 90-minute comprehensive evaluation goes far beyond a surface-level assessment. Your Doctor of Physical Therapy listens to your full history, analyzes your movement, and pinpoints the root cause of what's holding you back — building a clear, personalized plan before you leave.
Step 2: Targeted Treatment & Training
Every session is yours alone. Your DPT applies the right combination of advanced dry needling, orthopedic manual therapy, strength training, and performance rehab — progressing you strategically so gains stick and injury risk drops.
Step 3: Return Stronger
Pain-free is just the starting line at Fullswift. We bridge the gap between rehab and full performance — getting you back to the trails, the barbell, the race, or the mountain stronger and more resilient than before your injury.

The best PT I’ve been to. As a dentist I have lots issues with neck and back injuries. Jesse is the best with practical advice; not only recommending exercises at home but also practical recommendations and treatment in office to get you back up and running. In addition to the skill and knowledge the person behind the treatment is just as top notch. If you are looking for top tier evidenced based care with a gentle caring hand look no further than Jesse and Fullswift. If I could give 100 stars I would!

Jesse the best PT I have worked with. I was a Team USA athlete and trained at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs so I’ve had some great ones. Jesse listens and treats you as a whole person.
He also takes care of my athletes and clients and I am grateful to have him in my Corner.

Jesse & his team are the cream of the crop. Until this year, I had only heard about the mastery that Jesse provides to his clients from his raving fan base. Then after an ankle fracture in late ‘22, I was able to experience it first hand. Jesse’s care & dedication to his trade are unparalleled. Thanks to Jesse, I was able to salvage the ski season and was back on the board in 12 weeks. Personal health is not to be taken for granted & I urge anyone in need of getting back on track from an injury to reach out to Jesse today!
Working with Ben and Jesse at Full Swift has been an A++ experience. Ben is a natural teacher and they did an amazing job creating an inviting facility/space. Big fan of Full Swift Physio + Performance.
I began seeing Jesse several days after back fusion surgery was scheduled for me to alleviate debilitating pain that was preventing me from walking more than 75 feet. Plus standing for more than a few minutes was impossible. I had nerve pain in my leg and butt. After two dry needling sessions with ET the pain subsided completely and over the next two months I've cancelled the surgery, went back to tennis, done some rigorous climbing and plan to go skiing. He's compassionate and he skillfully created a rigorous strengthening progam which I follow diligently. My friends and family who've watched my progress are amazed. As am I. I understand not everyone is going to get these kind of benefits. I was diagnosed with severe stenosis at L4, L5...
Jesse is knowledgeable, personable, and above all experienced and creative. Have been quite happy with the progress we've made on an a nagging injury. He's always coming up with new ideas and ways to test the progress we're making.
I had an outstanding experience with Fullswift who helped me avoid surgery! After 8 years with a nagging shoulder injury, I found myself unable to lift my arm one morning. My Ortho said I would need surgery, but told me I would have to do PT for 6 weeks before my insurance would pay for it. I went to Fullswift whose team took time to develop a plan for me and explain in detail how they believed it could get me going again, which I greatly appreciated. I stuck to their program and within a few months was doing weighted overhead presses again and my Ortho told me I was cured. Along the way, their team even taught me some general strength and mobility exercises that would benefit my overall fitness. And I could tell that they were also...

Fullswift is far & away the BEST when it comes to personalized physical therapy! Jesse & his team are knowledgeable, personable, thoughtful & respectful in their care. I found Fullswift Physio via a colleague and I’m so grateful I followed through. I now feel like my back instability & pain is 100x more manageable. Combined with a structured & personalized plan, along with dry needling & exercises, Dr. Modica has helped to reduce my back pain, and most importantly to renew confidence in my body’s abilities. Thank you so much 🙏
So grateful for the ownership at Fullswift! Jesse and his team are highly responsive, knowledgeable and supportive of their clientele’s health goals.
