Baker Mulherin
PT, DPT, CSCS
Baker grew up in Nashville, Tennessee before moving to Colorado for undergrad where he developed a love of the outdoors and all forms of mountain activities. While working at a spinal cord injury clinic after college, he discovered a deep passion for coaching and teaching - working with clients one-on-one in the strength and conditioning field for almost a decade before becoming a physical therapist. Baker has an eclectic interest in physical recreation. From ultra running, olympic weightlifting, jiu jitsu, to ultimate frisbee, he loves to learn new things and challenge himself. In his free time you can find him enjoying time with his wife Elizabeth and their son Logan.
Interests
Baker has a passion for helping patients navigate the difficulties and uncertainties that lie around orthopedic injury. He has a special interest in shoulder and spine presentations, as well as return to sport and general strength/exercise programming.
Treatment Philosophy
Baker believes in treating you as a whole person first and foremost. His goal is to utilize exercise, manual therapy, and patient education to empower his patients to have agency over their injury, pain experience, or whatever is holding them back from their fulfilling activities. He believes that understanding the "why" behind your rehab is critical for success.
