She didn’t just become a running coach.
She became the running coach who also happens to be a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a pelvic health specialist, and one of the only clinicians in New Jersey combining 3D gait analysis with postpartum return-to-run programming.
Dr. Christine Martirez is officially a Certified Running Coach. And if you’ve been following her work at Mana Physical Therapy, this won’t surprise you one bit.
What makes her different? She doesn’t just watch you run and tell you to stretch more.
She tests your hip and glute strength. Measures your power activation, impact loading, and symmetry. Identifies the actual weaknesses driving your pain. Then builds a training plan she adjusts every single week based on how your body responds.
Swipe to hear it from her patients.
Whether you’re coming back from injury, returning to running postpartum, or chasing a PR you’ve been stuck on for years, this is the person you want in your corner.
