Tribu Physical Therapy

🏔The offseason isn’t a break… it’s your upgrade window.

Races might be months away, but this is when strong, resilient runners are actually built. When you’re not juggling peak mileage or chasing PRs, your body finally has the bandwidth to level up your base strength, clean up imbalances, and bolster the tissues that usually get overloaded once training ramps.

Think of it as putting money in the bank 💰so future-you can cash out on race day.
A body that’s strong and dialed in doesn’t sit on the sidelines. It stacks miles, builds momentum, and keeps you in the game - whether that’s on the road, on the trails, or in life.

Use your offseason wisely and your next season won’t just feel better… you’ll run better. 💪🏽

A peek inside Tribu’s Premier Runner Evaluation 👀

If you’re a runner who’s tired of guessing, tired of nagging pain, or just ready to take your training seriously, this is where things start to change.

When you come in, we dig deeper than a quick screen. We walk through your full injury and training history, run you through runner-specific strength and mobility testing, and for the folks who’ll benefit the most, we layer in a high-precision running analysis with the .ai belt plus slow-motion video.

Video shows us the outside.
Runeasi shows us the inside.
Tribu puts it all together with your particular symptoms, history, and goals.

Because even the sharpest coach’s eye can’t measure how your body is handling impact or shock absorption. The Runeasi belt fills in those blind spots, giving us real-time insight into how well you’re:
💥 managing impact
💥 absorbing load
💥 staying symmetrical and controlled with every stride

It’s the kind of info that helps you finally get ahead of pain instead of chasing it, and build a body that actually supports the miles you want to run.

And fun fact: Tribu is the only Runeasi-certified provider in the South Sound/Tacoma area.
If you’re ready to run smarter, stay healthier, and actually feel confident in your mechanics, this is your next step.

⚡️Celebrating 3 years of serving runners greater Tacoma!

January 2022 was when I officially opened my doors to seeing patients with Tribu PT. Originally starting as a mobile side hustle, then transitioning to full time and operating out of gym spaces, here we are!

🎉 To celebrate, for the month of January, I will be offering a FREE 6 week strength program catered towards runners.

If you are a runner who:
1️⃣ Hasn’t stuck with a strength training program in the past
2️⃣ Doesn’t know where to start with strength training
3️⃣ Needs help establishing a relationship with lifting
4️⃣ Is new to running and wants to add strength work
5️⃣ Sick of getting injured or running with pain

Then THIS guide is for you! 🫵🏽

One of my goals has always been to make it as accessible as possible to work with me. This FREE guide is a great place to learn a little bit more about what I teach my patients. All while getting stronger. You won’t find anything fancy in here - the foundations and consistency go a long way 💪🏽 To get your guide, comment “STRONG” below and I’ll reach out directly!
🚨This guide is NOT a replacement for physical therapy treatment. If you are injured or dealing with pain, get evaluated before starting any strength plan.

⚡️Walk with intention!

One of the most common questions I get, especially this time of year in the PNW, is “what’s the best warm up before a run?”

And while there’s no go-to SUPER ULTIMATE BEST DYNAMIC RUNNING WARM UP EVARRR since every body is different, brisk walking is a secretly valuable tool that everyone can utilize pre-run.

From physical prep to mental prep, it’s just a damn good way to transition from waking up, decompressing from work, breaking from family/caregiving duties, or any other task you’re disengaging from for the day.

💥Take 5-10 mins and walk like you’ve got somewhere to be! Then, if you have a few dynamic warm up moves you like to do, transition into those or just switch into your run.

🧠 Also, walking can remove a mental barrier to getting in a run. If you’re feeling unmotivated, starting with a walk can help. Some days, you’ll transition into a run, some days you might just stick with a walk, or you might turn around and go home - either way, you got out and did the dang thing to keep the habit alive.
If you’ve made it this far - thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting me. If there’s ever any way I can support you through your aches, pains, or injuries, please don’t hesitate to reach out. And even if I’m not the right fit, I promise to help you find someone who is so that you can get back to doing the things that bring you joy 💛

Reviews!

⚡️A lot of times, when we hear the words Physical Therapy, our mind naturally goes to the physical aspects: regaining strength, flexibility, power, etc! The reality is that the rehab process is so much more than that and folks deserve to be supported as a whole being. Part of my job is to identify:

1. What does my patient need?
2. Can I provide that or is it out of my scope?
3. If out of my scope, who are other trusted providers in the area that would be able to support my patient in the way(s) they need?

Grateful for my patients who trust me with their care. And grateful to my colleagues in all aspects of physical & sports medicine, mental health, nutrition, and beyond for their collaboration in keeping our community supported. ❤️

If you’ve have something that has been holding you back from moving and enjoying life, or if you’ve had a history of injury/injuries that you’re worried about coming back, I’d love to chat with you.

🗓️ On Sept 7th from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM, I’m offering FREE 20 minute injury consults at . You can sign up via the link in my bio, comment ME below, or shoot me a DM.

Can’t wait to meet you 😊
