How are we different?

We’ve merged decades of competitive running experience, physical therapy education, and specialized research to develop our treatment methods.

This multifaceted approach helps us and our clients avoid all the common pitfalls runners typically face within the restrictive insurance based model. 

Our Level of Care

  • Undivided one-on-one attention
  • Up-to-date with relevant research
  • Understands running programming and its effects on therapy
  • Backgrounds in running and strength training
  • Availability for follow-up by text, call, or email
  • Individualized exercise prescription based on current deficits, goals, and training habits
  • Physical therapy that compliments training goals and will aim to keep you running and lifting as much as possible
  • Clear guidance on path forward. We re-assess every single session and update exercise prescription and training based on responses to treatment
  • Work with the same provider or two-person team with full alignment on your rehabilitation, treatment strategies, and training goals

Standard Level of Care

  • 2-3 patients at a time
  • Outdated information
  • Doesn't understand the complexities of running training
  • Weak and slow
  • Unable to ask questions between sessions
  • Cookie-cutter, pre-made exercise programs only partially relevant to your goals and training
  • Overemphasizes rest so you'll get deconditioned while rehabbing your injury and are unsure of your ability to train adequately
  • Re-assessments occur every 4 weeks and are primarily based on outcome measures requested by insurance companies who don't understand your goals or preferences
  • See multiple therapists who often aren't aligned with their treatment strategies or patient goals due to a busy outpatient environment
