A new year is on the horizon, and now is the perfect time to get a running start on your 2026 fitness goals.

Whether you’re training for your first 5K or chasing a personal best, running well is not just about doing more. It’s about moving smarter.

Our Running Performance program uses treadmill video analysis and a comprehensive gait evaluation to break down your form, identify strengths, and uncover opportunities for better efficiency. Recreational runners build strength, mobility, and stride efficiency. Competitive runners sharpen form, power, and speed.

Whatever your pace, we can customize a program that moves you forward. Learn more: Viverant.com/Services/Clinical-Performance-Coaching-1/Running-Performance-Program/

From back pain to getting back to the activities he loved, Casey’s story shows the power of a personalized recovery plan.

“I had lumbar surgery and had seven vertebrae fused. Three months after surgery, I began physical therapy. I was referred to physical therapist J. A. Schwartz at Viverant’s Edina studio because my case was complicated. At that point, I was not allowed to bend, twist, or lift anything over 10 pounds.

J.A. started by working on my flexibility because the surgery had my back locked up. He used massage and stretching to reduce inflammation and break up scar tissue. From there, we focused on building core and leg strength.

My pain level has dropped from a seven to a two, and I have regained roughly 75 percent of my strength. Viverant is the best at customizing programs for any injury or health condition. They also set me up with a home program that I could follow on my own.

I would highly recommend J. A. and Viverant for any type of injury or condition. I can’t wait to hike, golf, and travel again.”

We believe that everyone deserves to be free from pain. To bounce back from setbacks and reach for new highs!

Ever wonder what those red circles are on athletes’ backs and shoulders?

That’s Cupping, a technique used by our Physical Therapists to help relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve mobility. Using gentle suction, cupping increases blood flow to the targeted area and promotes your body’s natural healing process.

It’s a modern take on an ancient practice, and it’s one of the many tools we use to help you move and feel better. Learn more:

Cupping uses negative pressure to help stimulate the body’s natural healing process, release muscle tightness and improve blood flow.

Some patients end rehab in running shoes. Stacy finished hers in ski boots.

“The team at Viverant was amazing. They got me back to my full range of motion and strength following bilateral knee replacements.

They then got me through rehab for my hamstring reattachment. We even did a session with me in my ski boots and on my skis. It was awesome. I could get into a full squat in my boots and on my skis.

I am now very confident about returning to Colorado and hitting the slopes. Thank you, Viverant!”
