Brad Schoonveld is the owner/operator of Colorado Orthopedic Rehab Specialists. As a Colorado native, raised in Fort Collins, he attended Colorado State University. Brad graduated in 1991 then moved to St. Augustine, Florida to attend Physical Therapy school at the University of St. Augustine, graduating in 1999. His first job was in North Platte, Nebraska where he practiced for 3 years. Brad left employment there as the Rehabilitation Director.
Brad focuses on developing a program that is tailored to the individual based on his/her diagnoses and the individual’s goals. This includes utilization of manual techniques like joint and soft tissue mobilization and joint manipulation when needed. He prefers minimal use of modalities unless recommended or required.
Brad enjoys working with patients who have chronic pain — especially from spinal disorders and has proven to produce positive outcomes where other treatment programs have failed. Most importantly, to promote progress, Brad works with the client to ensure good communication before, during and after every treatment.
Brad is passionate about educating the public through educational programs to prevent spinal pain. Through experience he has found that most people believe that pain is a normal aging process — this is only partly true. Pain indicates injury that may get worse if not treated or appreciated. Brad is highly skilled in the treatment of orthopedic injuries and rehabilitation.
