WWE superstar Daniel Bryan’s return to the pro wrestling ring has a Denver tie to it.
Bryan injured his neck last year, losing nearly all the strength in his right arm, which kept him out of the squared circle. After months of talking to various doctors and exploring possible surgeries, he was referred to Denver’s Greg Roskopf and his “Muscle Activation Techniques” system, Bryan said on the March 27, 2015 episode of the .
According to Roskopf’s website, he has worked with the Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz.

Daniel Bryan on his therapy:
My strength was stuck at 55 percent of my right arm. They needed it at 80-85 percent for me to get cleared. …
He would dig into the muscles and nerves, and get the strength back for a bit and then he would stretch it out, and that would weaken it. He would do it again and then he would stretch it out and then weaken it. Until he stretched it out and it stayed strong. He did this process for two hours. It was a little bit brutal, but my strength after I left there lasted for five days.
And so I went back to see him again. He told me this the first time, he said, “I’m pretty sure we can get you back with this.” And he said, “I don’t know how long this first one will last, but I’m anticipating it will take two to three visits to get it to where it will just stay.”
I went to see him a second time and I’ve never been back to see him since.
Bryan will wrestle for the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a ladder match at WrestleMania 31 on Sunday at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
