Ernie Quinlisk, P.T.
President  of Precision Physical Therapy, Inc.

Ernie received his Bachelor of Arts in Human Relations from the University of Pittsburgh in Bradford, Pennsylvania in 1984. Following his path of service, Ernie found physical therapy to be the link between his passion for understanding the psychological and physical relationships of pain. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia in 1987. Over the years, Ernie has accumulated over 700 hours of continuing education in his field of expertise.

As a leader in his profession and an accomplished speaker, Ernie lectures to the general public and professional groups on various topics. In the past, he has addressed both the Colorado Athletic Trainers Association and Physical Therapy classes at the University of Colorado, where he specifically addressed the treatment of kneecap pain. Ernie was also the Keynote speaker of the Colorado Chapter of the American Physical Therapy Association's fall symposium in 1998. The topic was "An Eclectic Approach to Treating Lower Extremity Dysfunction for Physical Therapist's". Ernie is also a Primal Reflex Release Technique™ (PRRT™) instructor and he is now teaching the basic level seminar to healthcare practitioners in Colorado and Pennsylvania. He has taught over a dozen seminars to date and was the first instructor other than John Iams (the developer of PRRT™) to teach PRRT™. Ernie has received all the advanced level PRRT™ training and he has also been a guest speaker at the intermediate and advanced level PRRT™ seminars in San Diego. Please refer to the PRRT™ Seminar page for more information about this new pain relieving technique.

Ernie is the developer of an exciting new pain relieving technique called Reflex Relaxation™ or Reflax™ for short. This technique stimulates various receptors (mechanoreceptors) in the skin, muscles, joints and tendons that creates a relaxation effect throughout the body. This in turn will help to alleviate pain, stress and muscle tension. Reflax™ works very well on chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. It is very gentle and has been successfully used on those who suffer from osteoporosis to athletes of all levels. Reflax™ is now available in a DVD home study course format for health care professionals. Visit the home page for more information and to view video testimonials.

Ernie has practiced in Boulder County since 1989 and works hard to maintain his thriving practice where he treats pain that arises from all types of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. He is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), the Private Practice Section of the APTA and of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT).


"Having been a family doctor in Boulder County for more than 40 years, I have referred a great number of patients to physical therapists. The qualities most patients and I desire in a P.T. consultation are proficiency and a genuine competency for addressing symptoms and working toward resolution of problems. It is imperative for a quality therapist to recognize if the patient's particular problem needs referral to another specialist. In my opinion, "Ernie Q" possesses these attributes more than any 'other' physical therapist in Boulder County."
Dr. Howard Wolf, Family Practice Physician

"Ernie is a physical therapist with whom I have worked closely for almost my entire nine years of experience in Colorado. My office has referred patients to him with almost every conceivable orthopedic problem. I do not recall one patient who was not enthusiastically satisfied with his treatment, his professionalism, and his attentiveness. He provides me with follow-up, literally on a daily basis, which makes my work quite a bit easier. He is without a doubt one of the most exceptional physical therapists I have had the privilege of working with."
Jon M. Erickson, M.D., Orthopedic Surgeon

"Primal Reflex Release Technique™ is an excellent primary or ancillary modaility to help patients resolve symptomatology which resides in the body as a result of unresolved trauma and the resultant dysautonomia. I have recommended PRRT™ to clients, friends, family and colleagues and I have experienced this new form of therapy from Ernie Quinlisk, PT on several occasions with good results."
John R. M. Day, M.D.
Boulder, CO

As a family practice nurse practitioner who incidentally suffers from chronic back pain, I feel very fortunate to know Ernie. From him, I have gained valuable knowledge and learned techniques to lessen my personal daily pain and help prevent exacerbations. As a medical provider, I am happy to have someone to whom I can refer my patients, knowing that they will receive attentive analysis, treatment and education. His dedication to helping people ease pain and become more functional enables them to enjoy life on a higher level. Ernie has gone beyond his excellent traditional physical therapy skills and is currently researching, teaching and practicing Primal Reflex Release Technique. Bravo to Ernie for taking a big step beyond traditional methods to better provide for those who suffer from pain!"

I have known and referred patients to Susan for Over 10 years. Many of the patients she has seen for me have been difficult rehabilitation patients for the simple reason that she has the capacity to deal with these patients with a compassionate, professional and direct mix that is rare in healthcare providers. She is knowledgeable with a deep set of skills that I find unparalleled in the physical therapy community.
R.J. Swarsen, M.D., Colorado Occupational HealthCare

I would highly recommend physical therapist Susan Blue. Susan has a thorough knowledge of the field, and she is especially skilled at adapting it to individual circumstances. My post-surgical physical therapy needs were complex and Susan listened carefully not only to my doctors, but to me. She tailored an effective program that succeeded where prior therapists failed. I am grateful to Susan for both her expertise and her commitment to my full recovery - she supplied me with hope and encouragement during a challenging rehabilitation.

Jaime received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Minnesota Moorhead in 2002 and was inducted into Psi Chi National Honor Society. While completing her BA in psychology, she attended school at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley for one year on a student exchange, where she held a teaching assistant position within the Psychology department and was involved in research focused on eating habits and emotions. She was initially exposed to physical therapy after her father underwent a total hip replacement. Since the surgery did not fare well, the surgical team argued that he would not be able to return to work for three months. After only five weeks of physical therapy, he was able to fully return to his occupation. Jaime was astonished by the success that her father had experienced through physical therapy and wanted to be a part of a profession that fueled not only her passion, but also would give others their life back. Dr. Neujahr graduated with honors from The College of St. Scholastica physical therapy doctoral program in Duluth, Minnnesota. During her educational career, she completed research on the neurophysiology behind the Primal Reflex Release Technique (PRRT™), which she utilizes with her patients.

She is an active member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and is certified in fitting for custom orthotics through Sole Supports, Inc. Currently, Dr. Neujahr splits her time between our north office in Louisville and our south office at the Apex Center in Arvada. At the Apex Center, she provides aquatic therapy along with traditional physical therapy. She also coordinates health and wellness programs with the personal training staff for those patients who want to continue with an exercise program post rehabilitation. Jaime is a "hands-on" manually base therapist who is able to individualize treatment based on the patient's specific needs and goals. Dr. Neujahr's background as an athlete allows her to realize the importance of returning to an activity and/or sport safely and effectively.
