Emotional wellbeing and pain are deeply connected.

It’s my job to determine if your pain is stemming from a mechanical issue.

And if it’s not I have a great network of professionals to collaborate with to support you.

So grateful for this review because taking a holistic approach to physical therapy is always my goal.

I used to put runners through my standard (yet very thorough) evaluation.

Now I’ve built a targeted evaluation process that is specific to runners when they come in for an injury.

My Running Assessment + Injury Treatment starts with a deep, runner-specific evaluation and hands-on treatment right away.

What I look at in the evaluation:
• Gait + stride mechanics
• Functional movement + activation patterns
• Stability + force absorption
• Mobility, flexibility + asymmetries

This isn’t standard PT. It’s targeted, diagnostic work for how runners actually move.

I then build a custom 3 phase rehab plan and provide options for physical therapy that fit their training and rehab goals.

If you’re a Boulder runner dealing with chronic pain (or looking to prevent injury) we’ll create a custom plan that meets your body and your goals where they are at.

Questions? DM me CONSULT and we can set up a free 15 minute call.

Sciatica 101: PART 3: What are the Best Sciatica Stretches?

If it’s a disc issue, your goal is to move the disc away from the nerve root, not flexing into it.

While I always say we need to start with an evaluation to really pinpoint your issue, some movements that are generally safe for sciatica are:

✔️ Lying on your belly
✔️ Sitting with good posture
✔️ Standing
✔️ Fast walking while swinging your arms

If you have a sciatica issue, don’t wing it with youtube.

The best place to start is a thorough physical therapy evaluation.

Book a free 15-minute consultation call and we’ll go over what’s bothering you to see if I can help.

Sciatica 101: PART 2: Why Common Stretches are Making You Worse.

People will look up “what are the best stretches for sciatica” online.

And the most common ones are actually making it worse: like pigeon pose or a hamstring stretch.

It might feel good at the time, but you might actually be actually irritating it instead of helping it.

If you have sciatica questions. The best place to start is an evaluation.
