Dr. Paige pursued physical therapy right out of high school after 10 years of knee pain and a brief introduction to physical therapy. Through that first intro to PT she absolutely fell in love with how movement changed how her body felt; therefore, she pursued the profession to fulfill the desire to understand how movement can improve how the body feels. During graduate school, Dr. Paige resolved her knee pain, after 15 years, and it has not returned.

Following graduation with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Husson University, she was offered a position at Cincinnati VA Hospital as an orthopedic resident. Following residency, Dr. Paige packed up and moved to Denver, CO.

The transition from grad student to resident and then to full-time clinician at a private practice was a hard one. Dr. Paige has a passion for working on the mental component (Mindful Movement) as well as physical symptoms that made it very difficult to meet productivity standards and bill insurance for “proper reimbursement”. The current health insurance model reduces time with each client and dictates how care is provided. Both of which impact quality of care and actually getting back to the activities and life YOU want.

The Persistence Project is founded in not only Dr. Paige’s persistence throughout 15 years of chronic pain, through 7 years of college followed by a year of residency specializing in orthopedics, but also to provide the education on how the body works and how to optimize it for your favorite activities.

Let’s learn how to persist throughout every age & season of life together!
