Community Highlights: Meet Jeff Katzoff of Synergy Sports and Rehab

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jeff Katzoff.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My name is Jeff Katzoff and I am a Licensed Physical Therapist in the state of Colorado as well as a Licensed and Certified Athletic Trainer, and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. I have other certifications like Trigger Point Dry Needling and a Medical Titleist Performance Specialist. I am the Owner of Synergy Sports and Rehab and have been in business since 2013, serving the community of Parker, CO. Over the years I bounced around as both an athletic trainer and physical therapist in professional sports, at the Collegiate level, the high school level, and even for the Olympic team. After years of working for others developing relationships with various doctors and patients, I decided to Open up a private outpatient physical therapy practice, and called home Parker, CO. So in 2013, partnered up with Physical Rehabilitation Network, I did just that. My goal was to always find a way to make a name for myself and in one way or another be a part of the community in which I work and live. We started a sports medicine outreach program back in 2014 providing sports medicine and athletic training care to area high schools and support to others. I have also formed relationships with local athletes that have moved out of the Parker area to become professional Race car drives, basketball players, and various other sports. Over the Years we have continued our outreach programs with Lutheran High School Parker, Regis Jesuit High School, and have several relationships within the Douglas County High School District.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Nothing about starting a business in healthcare is a smooth road. Struggles could include the ups and downs of the medical field with the additional physician owned practices and increase in hospital presence in physical therapy as well. There were even times when out of state organizations tried to come to Colorado and dictate how the world of physical therapy should be approached. There was also a rebranding in 2017 which caused some conflicts that caused doctors to think that the original practice went out of business, and the obvious time during COVID, which made practicing healthcare even more challenging. We actually handled that better than we thought and were able to become a stronger practice and have a larger presence in the community.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Synergy Sports and Rehab?
Okay, thank you for having me. I’m excited to share more about Synergy Sports and Rehab.

**Tell us more about your business or organization. What should we know?**

Synergy Sports and Rehab is dedicated to empowering our patients to move beyond just rehabilitation and achieve their highest potential in strength, mobility, endurance, and overall function. We’ve been serving the Parker, Colorado community since 2013, and our core mission is to bridge the gap between recovery and optimal physical function. We believe in providing personalized, innovative care and equipping our patients with the tools and support they need to reach their health and wellness goals. We aim to create a vibrant, modern, and welcoming environment where patients feel supported on their journey to a stronger, more active life.

**What do you do, what do you specialize in / what are you known for?**

We offer a comprehensive range of services with a strong focus on preventative care and rehabilitation. While we provide traditional physical therapy, we’re known for our specialized programs designed to address the diverse needs of our patient population, from athletes to individuals recovering from surgery or dealing with chronic pain.

Our specializations include:

* **Orthopedic Manual Therapy:** This is a cornerstone of our approach. Our highly trained therapists use hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat soft tissue and joint issues.

* **Sports Medicine:** We provide comprehensive sports rehabilitation for athletes of all levels, focusing on restoring function and getting them back to their desired activity safely and effectively.

* **Pre & Post-Operative Care:** We have programs specifically designed to prepare patients for surgery and optimize their recovery afterward, focusing on promoting healing, reducing pain and swelling, and restoring mobility and strength.

* **Injury Assessment and Biomechanical Movement Analysis:** We’re skilled at evaluating various injuries and analyzing complex movement patterns to identify deficits and areas of concern for injury prevention.

* **Specialized Techniques:** We offer advanced treatments like Trigger Point Dry Needling, Kinesio Taping, Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy, red light therapy, and concussion management. We also utilize innovative assessment tools like dorsaVi movement assessment, ArmCare Assessment., and the use of Hawkins Dynamic force plates.

* **Custom Orthotics:** We create custom orthotic inserts to address foot-related pain and imbalances that can affect the knees, hips, and back.

* **Worker’s Compensation:** We have a comprehensive work injury rehabilitation program to help individuals recover and return to work.
* **Recovery Lounge:** A unique aspect of our facility is our Recovery Lounge, which offers services like NormaTec compression therapy, cryotherapy, infrared saunas, hot and cold plunges, and hydration therapy to enhance healing and rejuvenation.

We’re known for our hands-on approach. We believe this gives our patients a sense of security and ensures their care is tailored to their specific needs. While we utilize cutting-edge modalities, our primary focus is on the human side of care.

**What sets you apart from others?**

Several things set Synergy Sports and Rehab apart:

* **Our Hands-On Approach:** As I mentioned, we prioritize manual therapy and personalized attention. We believe direct, hands-on care is often the most effective way to reduce swelling, improve mobility, and decrease pain.

* **Commitment to Clients Beyond Rehab:** Our philosophy extends beyond just recovery. We aim to empower patients to achieve their highest potential in all aspects of physical function and maintain an active lifestyle.

* **Comprehensive and Innovative Services:** We offer a wide array of services under one roof, from traditional PT to advanced techniques and a dedicated Recovery Lounge. This holistic approach caters to a broad spectrum of needs.

* **Highly Educated Staff:** Our team consists of licensed physical therapists and athletic trainers with expertise in sports rehabilitation and injury prevention. Many have pursued post-graduate training in specialized areas.

* **Community Focus:** We are deeply rooted in the Parker community. Our sports medicine outreach program to local high schools since 2014 is a testament to this commitment.

* **Patient-Centered Environment:** We strive to create a fun, friendly, and encouraging atmosphere. We also offer convenient early morning and late evening hours and verify insurance for our patients to make the process as smooth as possible.

Not only do we feel that we can set ourselves apart in physical therapy care but having access to an in-house recovery lounge with a hot tub, cold plunge, Infared sauna, normatec compression boots, and whole body and spot cryotherapy systems as well. Tie that in with our sports performance programs to take the patient beyond rehab, we have partnerships with other practitioners in our facility to include a certified dietitian that can create programs to help you both gain or lose weight, or just develop a plan, and a nurse practitioner who can provide health care services, supplementation, and IV treatments for recovery as well.
**What are you most proud brand wise?**

Brand-wise, I am most proud of the trust and reputation we’ve built within the Parker community and beyond. Knowing that individuals and families rely on us for their physical therapy and sports rehabilitation needs, and seeing our patients return to the activities they love, is incredibly rewarding. I’m also immensely proud of our sports medicine outreach program and the positive impact it has had on young athletes in our local high schools. Furthermore, the relationships we’ve built with athletes who have gone on to professional careers speak volumes about the quality of care and dedication we provide. Our brand stands for personalized care, expertise, and a genuine commitment to helping people achieve their best physical well-being.
