Performance & Recovery Labs / PR Labs

Fantastic experience: PR Labs is so much more than a great place to get a massage. They have chiropractors, physiotherapy, personal training, nutrition and more. The new addition of an infrared sauna and cold plunge pool make them pretty unique. Kate, the owner has fixed my shoulder with targeted massage, Ellen and Sarah helped fix my back and after 50 years of extreme exercise including many ironman triathlons and just shy of 200 total races, I need help.i can't wait to try the sauna and cold plunge. Every town should have one of these.

Fantastic experience: Julie is fantastic! Great communication in determining what the main cause of the issue originates from. Always feeling better after I leave a session. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've seen Dr Lindsey for PT, Audrey for massage, and used the sauna and cold plunge. PR Labs covers all aspects of recovery for me and I couldn't be happier with the service. The sauna and cold plunge feel so good after a long run!

Fantastic experience: Okay, Julie is a magician. She’s brilliant. I’ve had hundreds of deep tissue massages for past injuries and chronic pain and she is no doubt the best ever.

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Brenna and Kate for massage and Dr. Lindsey for PT and they are all excellent! I’m a competitive runner and cyclist and I always feel better after leaving PR labs. They helped me stay healthy while training for CIM in 2024. I can’t recommend their services enough! I’ve also seen Shae for energy work and she is fantastic - her and Dr Ellen do a soma flow together where they combine energy work and chiropractic treatment that’s really effective. Highly recommend overall!

Fantastic experience: Brenna Lofgren has what I call magic hands . I came in for my pre-race turn-up to remove my training soreness and she did not disappoint. My only regret is that I didn't schedule more of these during my training blocks prior to the pre-race. As an endurance runner, I need specific therapies to keep my body flexible and pain-free. She found the trigger points and skillfully released them while relaxing the tension in everything else. Brenna worked thru all my tightness and my body was left feeling reborn. An excellent experince from start to finish. I won't wait so long for the next one. Already have it scheduled. I can’t rate her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend PR Labs massage. Tim’s knowledge of the body shines through in his massage. I have had a tight neck with limited rotation for years, and after my first massage with Tim, I had more range of motion than I have had in a long time… and it has lasted. He listens to your concern and then gets to work ironing out the tightness. I have already rebooked!

Fantastic experience: PR Labs has become a key component to my overall well being and performance. Sarah always takes such good care of me and educates me when issues arise. She has helped me identify and recover from various minor injuries and I am a much stronger person and athlete because of her. Elissa is knowledgeable and her massage services are highly recommended. Overall, the staff is so friendly, and the facility is clean, has tons of great tools and the Recovery Lab is a huge bonus. I always leave my appointments feeling taken care of and ready to tackle anything.

Fantastic experience: A truly exceptional place for holistic wellness - state of the art facilities run by caring experts ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic experience: Absolutely one of the best massages I have ever had. Yen's pressure was perfect, she was incredibly professional and located all of my "hot" spots and released them. I will continue to see her.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place very clean. Brendan gave the best massage I have had.

Fantastic experience: Performance and Recovery Labs is my favorite place to go for massage! Brendan is the absolute best! He’s intuitive, listens to my wants and needs and is very knowledgable. I always leave the table with my body moving better than before. 10/10 recommend PR Labs, make sure to book with Brendan!

Fantastic experience: The crew at PR Labs is amazing!! I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with Boulder Sports Physio and Kate since they were at their old location! They’ve been a part of what I like to describe as my running team. It’s because of them I’m continually getting stronger in my running objectives and coming back faster in my recovery, post big objectives. Also, I highly recommend trying a session in the Recovery Lab, it’s awesome!

Fantastic experience: I had an awesome sports massage with Brenna, I felt like she completely hit the sweet spot of relaxing but also going deep and really working through some knots. Definitely will be going back.

Fantastic experience: PR Labs is an incredible place! They have wonderful practitioners as well as talented massage therapists. I've had the pleasure of receiving massages from Tim, Kate, and Julie. WOW! All of them are uniquely talented and well-versed in massage therapy. They made me feel comfortable and they catered to my bodies needs. The ambiance is relaxing and I felt soooooo much better after each session! If you haven't visited PR Labs...you are missing out!

Fantastic experience: I've been to the Recovery Lab three times. I love it. It actually makes me happy. And calms my mind. First, let's talk about WHO can book a Recovery Lab session. You can. This isn't just for special people or high level athletes. This is for anyone who feels like they've been carrying the weight of the world. This is for that person who is getting ready for a race. This is for the person who is contemplating doing their first 5k. And this is for the person who never wants to do a race. Ever. Contrast therapy involves infrared sauna and cold plunge. Book solo or book with a friend. I'm not kidding. It's incredible. I wasn't sure I'd like the cold plunge. As I get older, I don't tolerate the cold weather but the cold plunge is different. Hard to explain so I won't try. And the room is lovely and private and CLEAN. PR Labs is a special place created for regular people like you and me.

Fantastic experience: My massage with Yen was phenomenal! I work in the dental field so deal with back/shoulder pain. She listened to my areas of concern and really took her time working on them. She knew exactly where to focus to help with my pains. I left feeling like a new person. One of the best massages I’ve had. Thanks Yen!

Fantastic experience: Booked a session at the recovery lab! Definitely recommend going for at least an hour but this was my partner's first time trying the infrared sauna so just wanted to give him a little sampler of it. Staff are super friendly and helpful! I'll definitely come back for another session at the recovery lab and maybe check out the massages!

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Lindsey for a couple of different issues and could not recommend her enough. She always has availability and quickly diagnoses me and helps to fix whatever ailment I came in with. The office is always clean and everyone is very friendly!

Fantastic experience: Had my first session with Brenna today. It felt like being slowly dropped into the depths of the ocean and suspended in peaceful stillness while she quieted the fascial storm at the surface.

Fantastic experience: I am delighted to share my exceptional experience at PR Labs, the premier collaborative care and recovery center in Boulder. The level of professionalism and care provided by the team at PR Labs is truly unparalleled. From the moment I walk in, I was impressed by the dedication and expertise of their staff. The physiotherapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists at PR Labs are second to none, offering a comprehensive approach to wellness and recovery. Their collective knowledge and skill ensure that each aspect of care is addressed with precision and care. A standout moment of my experience was a spectacular massage from Kate, the owner of PR Labs. Her expertise and technique were remarkable, effectively easing my sore muscles and leaving me feeling rejuvenated. Kate's personal touch and commitment to her craft were evident, and her massage significantly contributed to my overall well-being. I am incredibly grateful to Kate and the entire team at PR Labs for their unwavering dedication to keeping me healthy and injury-free. Their collaborative approach to care and their commitment to excellence make PR Labs the best choice for anyone seeking top-tier recovery and wellness services in Boulder. Thank you for providing such outstanding support and care.

Fantastic experience: I had two one hour sessions with Tim Mcgrath. I went in with a hip flexor/abdominal strain. Tim not only helped with the injury itself but the surrounding muscles and tendons leading to the discomfort. All while throughly explaining the ins and out of how the body works all together. Very knowledgable, friendly, and professional!

Fantastic experience: Massage, Chiro and physiotherapy are absolutely amazing! All my issues from years were solved and I keep going there to maintain and evolve my training. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Absolute gem of a spot in Boulder! You can get multiple services under one roof, and combine your care all in one spot. Kate and the whole team are super welcoming, and immediately make you feel at home. I'm most often there for massage - usually before/after a bike race or just to feel better after too many hours at the computer. However, my last visit was for an hour in the new Recovery Lab. I really enjoyed the infrared sauna (chill vibes, good lighting, plenty hot!), and the cold plunge pool made me feel awake for the entire rest of my day. Whole body felt great afterwards! The Recovery Lab is in a semi-private space (or you can book fully private), that felt intimate and cozy without being at all cramped. Perfect. Can't recommend PR Labs enough!

Fantastic experience: I recently visited PR Sports Lab for a sauna and cold plunge recovery session, and love the experience. The friendly and efficient reception made check-in really simple. The facility is impeccably clean and well-equipped, including luxuriously spacious shower and changing room. Detailed yet simple guidance helped me get the most out of the cold plunge and sauna. While the non-rushed session, and welcoming staff made me feel completely relaxed as I was a bit nervous being new to both heat and cold exposure. Overall, PR Sports Lab offers a top-notch experience that I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: We just booked an hour in the recovery lab. It was a great, quiet, private space (we booked the whole thing for my husband and myself). We had never used an infrared sauna before and we found it was plenty hot and got us sweating. The combination of the sauna and the cold plunge was a perfect end-of-the-week activity to kick off the weekend. The space is calm, clean, comfortable, and luxurious.

Fantastic experience: Excellent client rapport and fantastic services offered. I’ve had personal training, physical therapy, and recently enjoyed the sauna/cold plunge offerings. All top notch!

Fantastic experience: Great facility with diverse team of practitioners. I’ve seen Brenna twice now for athletic body work excellent.

Fantastic experience: Simply superb. Go in broken, leave better.

Fantastic experience: I’ve only had a few appointments here so far, but I am so happy I found PR Labs and made my first appointment. I’m so grateful for the help they have given me in just three appointments after 10 years of pain!!

Fantastic experience: My session was with dr. Lindsey Mayer, she is very professional, and also a good listener, so she was focusing with my telling her about my problem and if there is something she missed or need more information about she will ask about, so I felt she is really taking care of me.. and we took the whole session, she answered my all questions and made sure that my appointment is not done with me having some questions or concerns, I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: PR Labs is an absolute powerhouse of all things health, wellness and recovery. The team is friendly, accommodating and very skilled. The facility is clean and welcoming. I can’t wait for the cold plunge and sauna recovery space to open. This is a one stop shop! I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Had a massage with nito today. He’s wonderful!!!

Fantastic experience: Tim is a really great massage therapist! He’s been extremely helpful.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Tim McGrath for sports massages for years now. He has a fundamental understanding of how the body works that comes across while he works. He's always friendly and respectful and I look forward to our sessions

Fantastic experience: The best place to go for a sports massage and PT with Dr. Sarah Zimmer. They have been incredibly helpful here in helping me get back to running without injury. I had a massage today with Paty and she was fabulous, as well. I highly recommend the practitioners at PR Labs.

Fantastic experience: Truly the premiere practice in all of Boulder county for massage, PT, dietetics and more. It’s the whole package and the most caring people who make it happen, I could not be more grateful

Fantastic experience: I see Kate regularly for the absolute best, most therapeutic massages, have seen Sarah who is a masterful PT and just recently got a home workout routine dialed after four sessions with strength training maestro Forest.

Fantastic experience: A great experience

Fantastic experience: Tim was amazing. Took the time to listen, explain his approach and I left feeling better than I had all week! I will definitely be going back.

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Kate & a few other massage therapists here (most recently Tim) and have never left disappointed. They’re knowledge & execution is top notch. I feel lucky to have access to this team of professionals.

Fantastic experience: Kate and everyone at PR labs are absolutely amazing. If you need amazing body work, sports massage, Physical therapy with Dr Sarah or Chiro with Dr Ellen are amazing and they take the time to learn about you, listen and take care of all of your needs!! HIGHLY recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Everything about PR Labs is top notch! It's a completely inclusive space as well as the staff and services. I have utilized the massage, PT and nutritional services. They talk to each other and create a truly magical experience. You'll be taken great care of here.

Fantastic experience: Everything about PR Sports Lab is amazing. The staff and all the practices that encompass PR Sports Lab are knowledgeable practitioners. I love the collaborative environment used in my treatments. I have always used Kate for my sports massages but our schedules have not aligned so I had to bite the bullet and see a male massage therapist for the first time!!! I've always been self conscious about getting a massage from a male. I scheduled a massage appointment with Nito Orecchio and all my fears were put to rest. He was professional and conscientious of my comfort level. There was no creepy experience or vibe at all. Thank you!!! I will definitely be back for another sports massage!

Fantastic experience: Kate and her team are unparalleled. Their level of care and attention is truly exceptional. Kate's approach to collaborative and holistic healthcare is changing the game for practitioners everywhere. I have been a loyal customer of Kate's for nearly 8 years, and I cannot overstate my gratitude for all she has done to keep me healthy and strong.

Fantastic experience: Best therapeutic massage I’ve had in a long time. Alex was amazing and I’m so happy to have found my monthly recovery

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend PR Sports Lab enough! Everything I need for my running needs is in one amazing location. Kate Ripley is the best sports massage therapist that I have seen for years, and has put together an amazing, friendly staff. Love walking into a business where I feel welcome & like I belong. My husband has seen Sarah for PT to sort through some of the toughest injuries. Don't hesitate to check them out!

Fantastic experience: Dr Ellen is genuinely invested in helping you figure out the root of your problems. She is incredibly kind, thorough and smart. Highly recommend and especially if you have multiple and even chronic issues going on.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing, they have it all! It is the one-stop shop for endurance sports (and regular sports/fitness). I started going here when I began training for my first 100 miler. Sarah, PT, DPT is awesome! She is also an ultra-runner and accomplished athlete which to me is invaluable when looking for a good PT. Sarah was great at helping me stay strong and prevent injury. Kate and Alex are also amazing sports massage therapists. I seriously have not had a better massage than I have here from both of them. Everyone is super friendly and personable. The facility is very clean and modern. I always look forward to my appointments (and I used to dread going to PT)! I would recommend PR Labs to everyone and cannot say enough good things!

Fantastic experience: Great therapeutic massage - therapist had her job cut out for her and fixed me. Will be returning regularly. Friendly staff and lovely space.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars. Best Sports Physio. Kate Ripley is phenomenal. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: PR Sports Labs is a wonderful collaborative space. You get all your care in one place - sports massage, chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, nutrition etc. The individual focus you get from each practitioner is exceptional. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Kate is the absolute BEST. Everyone knows there are too many bodyworkers to choose from in Boulder, but if you love yourself, like REALLY REALLY love yourself, you'll see Kate. By far, she is the best in the area (probably the country). Great for cupping, massage, girl talk, you name it—Kate's your gal! Plus, her new office features multiple practitioners so you can get everything you need in one place. If that's not amazing, I don't know what is. 100/10 would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Im new to the area and found this place and I have to say... its AWESOME! Such a great business idea and they have an amazing staff! I only had one session with Sarah Ceschin PT , DPT and I feel so much better! I will be a returning client here! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I have always had a wonderful massage experience at Boulder Bodyworker. The scheduling system is easy, the experience is relaxed and comfortable, and Kate is great for conversation. Schedule a massage, your body will be happy!

Fantastic experience: Kate is fantastic!!!

Fantastic experience: I feel very well taken care of and have had great immediate results after seeing Kate Ripley! I've had some chronic pressure points we've been working on. I've seen many body workers over the years for this issue and I'm very excited I found Kate, she's a natural!

Fantastic experience: Great massage for my beat up body.

Fantastic experience: Kate really knows her profession, and it shines through with her amazing work! From intense work on specific ailments or just an afternoon of relaxation, this is the right place. Very professional and fun, this practice should be high on you list of places when visiting Boulder. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Coming from out of town and wanting to get a pre-race message I knew I wanted to stop into Boulder Bodyworker and see Kate. She's ran a great massage practice in Austin and I was thankful that she was in Boulder. Super easy to make an appointment and the massage work was great!
