Team Members
Julia Anderson, PT
Julia is the owner and president of Fairplay Therapy Center. Her vision is to incorporate physical therapy & natural health principles with the best that technology has to offer to facilitate wellness in each of our lives.
Julia’s dream is to work together with an incredible team, whose goal is to assist people to achieve health and wellness in their lives.
Julia comes from a long line of healers which is why it’s no surprise that healing is what she is here to do.
Julia’s journey as a healer started at a young age. As a teenager she worked in her father’s Medical office, taking weight,
blood pressure and temperature measurements. She had an awakening to her own gifts when one day she took a lady into the treatment
room. As she did Julia felt her own left knee suddenly became very painful. It felt like she could barely walk. She pushed thru the
taking of the lady’s measurements. Out of confusion, she fled the room as soon as possible and stayed there until the doctor requested
her to return. At this point, and much to Julia’s surprise, the lady conveyed to the doctor the very same and specific knee pain that
Julia had been experiencing… Suddenly Julia realized that her body was echoing the lady’s pain within her own knee. This knowledge
brought Julia a fair amount of distress because she didn’t want to feel other people’s pain as she worked with them. It has been a
journey, learning to understand how these abilities can be a blessing. Julia believes that we all have extrasensory perception, and
we are all unique in how we express and experience healing in our lives.
As a Physical Therapist and Doctor of Natural Health, it is her intention to assist each person to learn how to truly love their own
magnificent body and nurture themselves. This happens thru natural health principles of exercise, rest, nutrition, alignment both
physically and spiritually.
Fairplay Therapy Center has many modalities, techniques and tools to assist each person where they are on their journey to wellness.
Julia starts with basic alignment of the physical body. If the body is out of alignment, then mechanically it can not work correctly,
and indicates area’s of energy blockages. She assists in realigning the body if needed, and because the feet are the foundation of the
body, if they need correction in their feet, then she uses the
Footmaxx custom orthotics with a computerized gait plate
to assess this and create top of the line custom orthotics. Many professional athletes have found significant improvement in their performance
and comfort. Back, knee and foot pain can be completely eliminated if the problem is corrected in the feet.
Once the alignment is corrected, she instructs in home strategies to continue and maintain benefits of the treatments. We know that
the real healing happens in each person, so education is key for understanding the body healing process.
It is natural for a body to heal and feel good. If alignment does not maintain easily, than Julia and her team work with releasing
blocks to healing, such as techniques like dry needling, massage,
M.E.L.T. for connective tissue imbalances, pilates,
ThetaHealing
for beliefs that may limit our well being, and state of the art allergy elimination computer and
NAET techniques.
Susan Van Orden, PT
Sue has been a physical therapist in a variety of clinical settings for over 25 years. Her advanced education includes a diverse blend of
exercise physiology and manual therapy techniques. Sue was an elite triathlete for many years, qualifying, competing and finishing the
Ironman World Championship. Through her own athletic experiences and injuries she learned her goal as a physical therapist is to find the
specific technique that help the individual patient heal and be involved in the healing themselves.
Five years ago Sue specialized in lymphedema management treating primarily medical and surgical patients. Knowing that the therapist is still
there to help the person heal from within themselves is powerful and effective.
"My particular philosophy is that every patient is unique and a PT's job is to find that unique treatment to heal and motivate the patient
to wellness. I believe healing comes from within the person and a PT helps facilitate that healing."
Recently Sue has completed level 1 & 2 dry needling course work with
kinetacore Physical Therapy Education.
She is very impressed with the technique's results
and is excited to bring this modality of care to Fairplay Therapy Center.

member of the South Park Park and Recreation District and Park County Amateur Radio Club.

Raised in Breckenridge, Colorado since the age of two, Joshua joins the FTC team specializing in
ThetaHealing®. After
four years as a talent agent in Los Angeles, Joshua searched for a change and a life with more meaning. Fascinated with
the human spirit and the amount of limitation people put upon themselves, ThetaHealing® put into words, practice and
positive change what Joshua had explored for years.
"We have a choice whether or not to stay in prolonged periods of depression, sadness, pain, illness, disease, anger,
anxiety, or any negative state that prevents us from creating a positive and happy existence for ourselves and those we
care about. Through ThetaHealing® we align ourselves with our Devine Source so we can identify and heal those blockages
that keep us unhappy and ill. In addition we bring consciousness into the present so we not only see the counterproductive
patterns we cultivate but shift our energies so those paradigms no longer exist."
A graduate from Summit High School and the University of Northern Colorado studying Musical theatre, Joshua's journey has
been nothing shy of exciting. He also knows that the most thrilling chapter begins today.
