  • EXPECT to make an impact - TIP to Thrive from Frank Sinclair

    "Go out with an expectation of making an impact today. Really - if you go out expecting to do that, you'll do that. Stop worrying about yourself, the outcome of lifting others up is that you'll be lifted up. You WILL become the person in this community that you desire to be."


    WOW, what a simple and profound truth. This man knows from experience what it takes to make an impact. If you've not heard the full interview with Frank Sinclair - PLEASE do yourself a favor and take a listen. Click here to access the full interview.

    Imagine if the Colorado Springs community at large followed this advice. The outcome is that we would all be elevated!

    I'd like to also caution you that this principle works in the reverse as well. If you EXPECT negative things, you'll reap the rewards of that expectation. If you want to be lifted up without lifting up others - you'll be disappointed and will NEVER reach your full potential.

        • Ascending to a Higher Perspective: Lessons from India with Heather Felde

          Heather Felde is physical therapist, athlete, and world traveler who owns and operates Ascend Physical Therapy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Her unique focus in manual therapy centers on an individualized approach that gets to the root of the problem and has taken her across the world to teach, train, and practice. 

          Motivated by the opportunity to gain a new perspective, Heather stepped away from a new and growing practice for 6 months to experience life and practice in the Far East. This leap of faith took her to Delhi, India where she treated patients, taught manual therapy techniques, and explored the rich landscape and culture of Nepal and India. 

          From the summit of Mount Everest to the foot of Pikes Peak, Heather has worked tirelessly to provide the Colorado Springs community with opportunity to Ascend to new heights of health and human performance. 

          We discuss: 

          • Why Heather saw a need for a patient-centered approach to physical therapy in our community 

          • How her unique focus led to international opportunity 

          • How being overwhelmed in a foreign land led to a mindfulness practice

           • The unique experience of being a minority in a new and unfamiliar culture 

          • Tips for optimal sleep and why it is important for tissue repair and overall well-being 

          Heather and I also provide a brief “behind the scenes” look into the values, perspectives, and business aspects of going into solo practice. This candid part of the conversation explores the real-world sacrifices and challenges that go into providing high quality care with integrity and a patient-centered approach. 

          Heather shares some very insightful perspectives from her time in India that I think you’ll find not only interesting, but thought provoking.
