I was an avid runner for years until an injury sidelined me about 12 years ago. I tried cortisone shots and two rounds of physical therapy, and while they managed my day-to-day pain, I still couldn't run more than a mile or two without hurting. I saw a Fit & Function ad on Facebook and decided to give it one more shot.I worked with Maria Leibler for about six months. Within a couple of months I was running a 5K pain-free. I picked up a little runner's knee along the way, but worked through it with her help. More importantly, Maria taught me how to tell the difference between pain I can push through and pain that means I need to adjust, something no one had ever explained to me before.I hadn't been able to run for over a decade and honestly never thought I would again. I'm so glad I found this team. I'd 100% recommend giving them a try!
