I had issues with my knee, which included it giving out completely from time to time, for 5 years until Sam helped me fix it. He was the most professional and helpful person that worked with me to solve the problem I was having, and made a plan to get me off if physical therapy for it at a pace that made sense for me. 5 years later I am still able to run freely with no issue and haven't had my knee give out since I worked with him. My biggest regret is I don't live near him now to have him fix my shoulder. - Chris R.

I was a client of Sam Roe in San Diego for five years, and doing the initial consultation was one of the best decisions that I've made. Because of Sam's MAT skill, I have been able to lose (and keep off) fifty pounds, started playing adult baseball again (I'm 52 years old) as a catcher, and recover from ankle surgery in a fraction of the normal recovery period. I'd recommend Sam for anyone that experiences pain, it's a process that works quickly and generates results that last. Sam is the best! - Ed K.

Sam worked with me in San Diego and helped me get through concurrent injuries. He was quick to identify the underlying mechanical imbalances behind my issues and helped me work on them over multiple sessions. While helping me through a knee injury he worked with me to address the pain I was feeling to the full extent of his expertise. When it became clear that there was an underlying structural problem that was still troubling me, Sam was quick to recommend that I seek out an MRI because there was probably something there that he alone couldn't address (Sam's a wizard, but I needed surgery to fix my torn meniscus). Sam provides great communication and is happy to share his knowledge with you so that you can better understand how your body works and how to take care of it. I highly recommend his services to anyone - we'll miss him greatly in San Diego!! - Rachel S.

I worked with Sam for a little over 2 years in San Diego. I was able to gain strength, lose weight, and generally just feel better daily. It was a true pleasure going to my workouts, Sam is very professional and will put together a workout suited for you. He is consistent and always on time, which is very important, my time was very valuable to him which is always appreciated. The Aspen area is very lucky to have him, we all miss him in San Diego. Do yourself a favor, book an appointment. - Dana M.

SAM IS THE MAN!

Growing up playing soccer my whole life I have had to deal with a lot of ankle and knee issues, issues that I thought I had to deal with for the rest of my life. Luckily I met Sam in San Diego and I am so happy I did! Working with Sam has drastically improved the mobility, performance, and overall health of my ankles and knees. Sam is an extremely knowledgeable person who really cares about his clients. I can honestly say that if I hadn’t met Sam in San Diego then I wouldn’t be playing soccer today. I am currently living in Europe but I always make time to visit Sam when I am back in the States - Julian B.

I started working with Sam in 2018 in San Diego because of some persistent low back pain that I had been dealing with for about 10 years. I had tried physical therapy, massage, and chiropractic but none of them seemed to meaningfully improve my symptoms in the long term.

After working with Sam consistently for a couple of months, I was pretty much pain free and able to exercise and surf without the limitations I had while dealing my back pain. I was also able to go longer between sessions without feeling like I needed a 'tune up'. I have now been living without chronic back pain for 4 years and I'm able to work a very physical job and stay active with surfing and mountain biking without ever having back pain flare ups.

I'm bummed that I won't be able to get worked on as frequently now that Sam is no longer practicing in San Diego but it'll be a good excuse to get out to Colorado! I highly recommend working with Sam if you've had any persistent pain issues that have not responded to other treatment approaches. - Jesse T.

So far I’ve completed 3 sessions with Sam and the results speak for themselves. Prior to seeing him I had consistent lower back pain and lack of mobility in my hips. After each session I can considerably feel a difference in the way my body feels. With the exercises he provides and some stretching my lower back pain is virtually gone and my hips are ready for the dance floor! If you’re looking to improve the way your body feels and functions then I HIGHLY recommend you schedule with Sam! - Sam P.

Sam is an absolute pleasure to work with! We did a couple sessions of table work after I re-injured my ankle, which I’ve had issues with for years, and I could feel the improvement almost immediately. I especially appreciated how clearly he was able to communicate the mechanism behind the therapy, and can only say I wish I’d worked with someone who understood the way the body works as well as he does much earlier. Thanks for all your help Sam and enjoy Aspen, they’re lucky to have you - Nate C.

Sam is incredible to work with. He is very knowledgeable about the body and helps me reach my full potential. If you are thinking about trying MAT, you definitely should. I have found it to help me perform at a very high level in multiple sports (skiing and biking). Thank you, Sam! - Kevin J.

I worked with Sam for over three years while he was in San Diego. Between focused training and MAT Sam kept me in shape to be able to do all the sports activities I love - Skiing (over 50 days last year including Heli), Surfing, Trekking (Kilimanjaro in 2019) and Mountain Biking. I could not recommend him more highly. - Dan B.

I was treated by Sam in San Diego over a period of several years. Sam is a great practitioner, and his MAT work really helped me overcome several injuries and allowed me to have a pain-free active lifestyle. I would definitely recommend both Sam and MAT to everyone! - Nick C.

Have worked with Sam the last 2-3 yrs. regularly in San Diego, where I needed MAT and targeted exercise treatments for back and core pain -- Sam is excellent with MAT clinical table work, and came up with weight / machine programs to strengthen and maintain -- both for training programs with him and on my own. Highly recommend Sam and his capabilities. - Jason J.

I have been plagued for years with leg cramps, and foot and hip pain related to plantar fascitis. Early this year, I was in serious pain, limping and wondering what course of action to take. My daughter got a recommendation for Sam Roe from her MAT (Muscle Activation Technique) therapist in San Francisco. She convinced me to try an approach that I'd never heard of.

What I have learned after 4 months of therapy is that MAT and Sam Roe were the right combination for addressing my long-term structural imbalances. MAT treatment requires the patient's concentration and involves active participation in therapeutic manipulations. You will get out of MAT therapy what you're willing to put into it. MAT hasn't been a quick fix for me. I am a senior-aged person in good health with lots of miles on her body, so I am continuing with MAT therapy and using the training that I got from Sam to keep building muscle control and strength. I have reduced pain these days and rarely experience leg and foot cramps. From week-to-week, I feel improvements in my ability to be on my feet for hours, traveling trails without pain or cramping. - Evelyn O.

As a healthcare professional and a recreational athlete, I've found M.A.T. to be an amazing tool for optimal health. Sam has an amazing understanding of the body's biomechanical balance and has worked to correct long standing issues that could not be fully addressed by any of the other therapies that I've tried (massage, chiropractic, physical therapy, ibuprofen or orthopedic intervention). Getting back to my sports was a priority and I could not have done that without M.A.T. which has allowed me to find my strength with greater efficiency and without pain! We are so lucky to have this amazing resource in our small valley!! - Marcey R.

MAT works! I've tried all types of Physical Therapy, but nothing else has has successfully, consistently worked to heal my issues like MAT. I've used Sam Roe's extensive knowledge to help my over-used body to heal from IT Band Syndrome and Plantar Fasciitis. If your suffering from physical ailment or need to recover quickly from a surgery, Sam Roe's expertise in MAT will work for you. - Ted O.

Sam, So sorry to see you leave San Diego. I had become frustrated with PT treatments until my Orthopaedic Surgeon recommended you. I was most impressed when he informed me that he and his daughter had success from your services. That said a lot to me. My knee, elbows, hip and both shoulders are pain-free. Many of my friends have said, “An 80 year old man who has been active in sports all of his life cannot expect life without pain.” Perhaps that will turn out to be true but, for now, I am able to ride my bike vigorously, play pickle ball, swim, and do all of what I could do when I was in my 40’s. The only activity that seems to show my age is that I am stiff in the morning until I move around and loosen up the parts that were broken, strained, and sprained in my younger days. After that I am ready to go. I am considering going skiing next winter but my wife throws a fit when I mention it. I would wish you luck in your new endeavor but luck has nothing to do with it. Just continue to be the best. That’s all you need. Best regards, John

I forgot to mention that I am back to playing golf. Thanks Again. - John M.

Sam's technique is truly amazing healing! I find him to be true to his work and technique and I truly believe he genuinely wants to help every client. He has extensive experience and is extremely knowledgeable in this organic technique. I was referred to Sam from a natural doctor trying to heal my hip and back and wanted it to be done organically. The minute I met Sam and after speaking to him for only a few minutes I knew I was in the right place. With Sam's help and expertise, I realized that my hip would have to be replaced. Sam worked with me extensively before the surgery by keeping my hip and back as mobile and strong as possible with very little pain. The afternoon after my surgery I was walking without any help up and down my driveway and my hip felt great and I felt strong! Going back to Sam after my surgery was the only right thing to do for me. The physical therapy that was offered was not doing for me what I knew Sam's technique could do for me. It has been not quite 4 months since my surgery and by working with Sam this technique has my back feeling almost perfect, my hip is fantastic and my whole body is stronger and going in the right direction. I am pain free and able to do what I love the most, hiking up the mountain with my doggies. I would not be in such a great place physically if I hadn't of met Sam and the technique that he uses and believes in. It is truly amazing! Thank you Sam, I am truly grateful for you! You are very special and one of a kind and an extremely wonderful healer!!! - Julie M.

Over the years I have grown stronger as a National Team athlete under Sam's care. His professionalism, drive to improve and overall knowledge as an MAT Specialist is outstanding to say the least. I am terribly sad to see Sam leave us here in San Diego, but more terribly excited for his new chapter and everyone in Aspen! PLEASE take care of him as he will absolutely take care of yall! - Sarah S.

Sam and his gym are a secret sauce that I selfishly don’t want to get out, but truth is, everyone owes it to themselves to heal, connect, and exponentially strengthen their bodies through his guidance and support. Sam’s experience and approach are quickly apparent, even after one session with him. I highly recommend Aspen Biomechanics whether you have an acute or lingering issue, want long term progress, or simply enjoy connecting with and learning to use your body at its best, customized to you. - Jenny L.

I worked with Sam in San Diego and he exceeded my expectations by a long shot. In just 10 sessions, Sam helped me more than any medical doctor has in my entire life. I've never felt so informed about my how my body works, and confident in getting the most out of it in safe and sustainable ways. I had knee pain lingering for two years that he fixed like magic in the first 4 sessions. Any other aches and pains that arose from sports and fitness activities, Sam could identify it and usually fix it the same day. Highly recommend MAT with Sam Roe! - Blake J.

I highly recommend Sam Roe and his MAT treatments for various athlete and patient recovery needs. For nearly 40+ years I have been a high out put, high use, multi-sport athlete and for 30+ years a mountain guide, coach, and athlete trainer - now here in the Roaring Fork Valley. Prioritization of body performance for health and longevity is critical to me. I have been working with Sam for months now, initially seeing him for help with nerve pain from my back, radiating down a leg and pain associated with compensatory movements in my left shoulder from an old injury. My recovery and improvement has been steady with every visit. These issues were old from injuries in my 30s that had caught up to me now in my 50s. For me to see improvement in strength and function, decrease in pain and increase in ROM is not only incredibly motivating for me, but also a true testament to the value of MAT and Sam’s knowledge and experience. ~ Carolyn P.

Sam is a godsend! I’ve suffered from debilitating back and neck pain for 20 years. I relied on chiropractors and could not travel, exercise, etc. MAT helped to calm the muscle spasms, build up the atrophied muscles, straighten my posture and help me find the proper range of motion so my body could hold itself up and do basic things without strain. Sam is one of those rare people who gives it all he’s got! He’s always improving his technique and bringing the best of the best to his clients. We in San Diego are sad to see him go but he will benefit all those who come to see him in Aspen! - Akasha R.

Thank you for introducing me to MAT Sam! I can't believe I've waited all these years. Sam's skill and efficiency really helped me address a chronic issue and mitigate much of the pain. Sam's work gets an important process started and he continues to guide me with various behavioral elements I can incorporate myself for better wellbeing. MAT with Sam is now an important part of my toolbox! - Courtney C.

I have been working w/ Sam for about 2 years. Previous to working w/ him i was unable to do any physical activity due to multiple knee and shoulder surgeries. Through MAT he has been able to get me through rehab and to gain my strength back. I have had great success with Sam and MAT and I highly recommend him to anyone. - Rob P.

I worked with Sam Roe in San Diego for the last 2 years. He helped me fix ankle issues, shoulder issues, neck issues, and the most important, helped me recover from a torn calf that occurred only weeks before my wedding. He was always professional and very knowledgeable. It will be a difficult hole to fill for all my future injuries in San Diego! Everyone in CO is lucky to have him. - Elliot K.

I have struggled with low back pain since a car accident in high school. I had surgery on my L4/L5 disc at 28, and have managed to continue a very active lifestyle surfing, freediving, snowboarding, mountain biking, and playing baseball and tennis among other things. About once or twice a year my back goes out to the point I can barely walk. It usually took about a month to recover completely. I'm in my late 40s now, and the time it takes to recover has extended. I met Sam 2 years ago, I was down with tightness, spasms, and pain for about 6 months despite massage, yoga, ART, acupuncture, and more. The Rx MAT approach Sam used significantly improved my condition after a couple visits. I was back on a surfboard and snowboarding within a couple weeks. My back has stabilized with the strength I’ve been able to build through exercise on the foundation provided by SAM and Rx MAT. I am truly grateful to Sam for giving me the ability to keep doing the things I love with family and friends. - Jon H.

MAT is by far the most underrated form of personal wellness that I have ever found. When you're injured and can't seem to find the solution, you'll exhaust every possible avenue to locate what actually can provide relief. My wellness journey led me through many different avenues - physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, etc., but I've found nothing has provided me with more relief than MAT.

Like anything, treatment is only as good as one providing it - you wont find relief from an underqualified physical therapist. Sam Roe is very qualified in MAT and is extremely passionate for his trade. With his acquisition of Aspen MAT, I have no doubts that he will help many people, just as he helped me! - Spencer B.

I have been battling neck and back problems for years and never found a long term solution. Sam’s approach has alleviated the pain/stiffness in my neck/back and also increased overall strength and flexibility of my entire body. Sam is a world class practitioner of the M.A.T methods, I have recommended him to friends and family. Give it a shot you will feel better. - Dan W.

Sam worked on my ankle that I had rolled playing soccer. After a few sessions with Sam he had me back on the pitch in no time. Not only was I amazed on his work to give me a speedy recovery but he had also gave me great heath and wellness advice that I will use for the rest of my days. Keep up the great work Sam! - Drew D.

Every single time I had an injury that would stoop me from doing what I loved doing most, sam would help me. The exercise and stretches and everything in between helped me feel good on and off the soccer field. Sam is a genuine guy and has a great sense of humor. I will miss him being in San Diego. - Luca J.

I had major lower back and sciatic nerve pain. After a couple appointments with Sam, my issues had subsided and had zero pain. Sam's muscle activation techniques have transformed my body and how I go about addressing other issues I face. - Kent B.

Truly life changing. After trying to sort out muscle imbalances and nagging injuries no PT could really meaningfully tackle, Sam and MAT got me back to being the old, competitive me. Simple put, pretty amazing stuff. - Colin O.

Sam really helped with my knee problem. The treatment eliminated pain and stabilized my knee so I could walk better! - Amy C.
