Dr. Richard Hansen, D.C.

“Wellness of Boulder is about helping our patients return to health as efficiently as possible.  Instead of just treating the symptoms, I focus on trying to find the source of the problem so that a permanent solution can be determined.  As a former collegiate distance runner, I understand the frustration that can set in when an injury is constantly reoccurring or does not seem to be improving.   I use my knowledge of the body from a biomechanical and functional point-of-view to analyze the patient as a whole to effectively diagnose the problem and break the repetitive injury cycle.
I am constantly challenging and educating myself so that I can provide my patients with the most current and dynamic form of healthcare.  Having an athletic mindset, my goal is to help the patient return to health so that they can re-establish an active lifestyle.”

Dr. Hansen utilizes the gentile hands-on diversified techniques along side Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.) to extensively work the spine as well as all the supporting connective and soft tissues.  As an A.R.T. provider Dr. Hansen can help alleviate repetitive stress injuries, overuse injuries, repetitive stress as well as chronic and acute pain. 

As a former intercollegiate runner for University of California San Diego and current marathon enthusiast, Dr. Hansen understands what it takes to compete at a high level; especially how to keep the body free from injury and going day after day.
