Summary
Founder, Altitude Performance & Measured Motion
Former two‑sport collegiate athlete turned board‑certified orthopedic specialist, Dr. Goldstein blends lab‑grade muscle science with hands‑on care.
After earning his DPT from the University of Colorado and completing both an orthopedic residency and fellowship, he launched Altitude Performance, a concierge practice devoted to sport‑specific rehab and performance optimization.
His newest venture, Measured Motion, pushes the field forward by studying muscle architecture, pennation angles, fascicle length, and refining intramuscular dry‑needling techniques.
As Senior Advisor for Performance & Development at Springbok Analytics, Doug converts 3‑D muscle‑health data into actionable plans for clients across all ages and abilities.
He also shapes the next generation of clinicians as affiliate faculty at the University of Colorado School of Medicine’s PT program and mentor to orthopedic fellows.
Trusted by athletes across the PGA, LPGA, USWNT, NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS, and MLB, Doug turns research into real‑world results.
