I’ve known Brian Briggs, co-owner of Revo Physiotherapy and Sports Performance, for a few years now. Every time we talk, I’m reminded how rare it is to find someone in healthcare who is both honest and unfiltered in a way that truly helps people.

When I asked Brian about his values, he said honesty and integrity, and he meant them in the real sense — the kind that shape how someone treats their clients, their staff, their family, and the decisions they make when no one is watching. It’s not polished. It’s not strategic. It’s simply who he is.

In the rehab world, clear answers can be hard to come by. People arrive with conflicting diagnoses, rushed opinions, and whatever they picked up online. Brian doesn’t avoid those contradictions. He walks people straight into them and sorts out what’s actually going on.

Over the years he’s learned how to deliver the harder truths with more and more clarity and kindness, and the level of trust that builds is obvious the moment you step inside Revo. His staff carries a similar tone. His leadership is reflected in a team that operates with straightforward care, respect, and commitment to real conversations.

It reminds me of what authentic leadership actually looks like in practice.

On a personal note, I spent two intense years working with Brian. My hip was one choice away from replacement, and then a rotator cuff tear from an Ultimate Frisbee accident dropped right into the middle of it. That period reshaped my body and my patience. Brian was the steady perspective I needed when I could barely see my own progress.

He never sugarcoated anything. He always told me the truth, even when it was difficult to hear it. Because of that, my outcomes were exceptional — range of motion returned, strength rebuilt, confidence restored. I trusted the process because I trusted him.

What developed inside Revo over time — and Brian admits this with a laugh — is a community. Not something he engineered. Something that grew naturally. People say hello to each other. People notice when someone’s making progress. It’s a gym for people who don’t like traditional gym environments. It’s inclusive and rooted in real goals rather than performance or aesthetics.

Revo offers Boulder something meaningful: a place where rehab and performance are not separate, where conversations are real, and where the plan makes sense. Someone can arrive in pain or with a big performance goal and move through an entire arc under one roof.

First comes a thoughtful assessment: what actually happened, what the body is doing now, and what the person wants to get back to. Then comes honest expert opinion — what is realistic, what might take time, and which steps matter most. From there, the plan turns into action: hands-on rehab, targeted strength work, personal training sessions, and a gym environment where progress is observed and adjusted instead of guessed at.

There are options built in. Some people come primarily for physical therapy. Others add strength coaching, massage, or dry needling. Some lean on ongoing check-ins and gym access to keep stacking gains long after the initial injury is resolved. The model is designed so that recovery and performance are part of the same story, not two separate chapters people have to piece together on their own.

It’s not a chain. It’s not a fad. It’s a place built from values that have been tested and lived, day after day, by Brian and the team standing next to him.
