Running more isn’t always the answer.

We see it all the time: Runners increasing mileage but skipping strength training, leading to common injuries like knee pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles issues, and shin splints.

Running is a single-leg sport, which means every step requires strength, stability, and control. Without it, your body compensates and eventually breaks down.

If you want to run faster, stay consistent, and avoid injury, your training needs more than miles. It needs strength, mobility, and recovery.

Did you know we treat kids!?

For multiple different reasons, including sports, some kids need help with pain or injuries. We treat a ton of youth athletes, but we also treat younger as well!

Dr. Briana has worked in both pediatrics and orthopedics and adds a wide range of patient population she can see and help!

Let us help your kiddos get better, faster by teaching them body awareness, mobility, strength, and coordination exercises to help them improve faster!

Their adult selves will thank you! 😊

Happy spring from our family to yours!

Wanted to give a quick life update!

Our baby boy, Myles, is somehow 8 months old 🥹😭 and we are loving every second with him! He is the light of our lives 🥰

Durfey and I are doing well! Refuge has had many changes since I was pregnant and now postpartum, and we are so thankful for the growth we are experiencing!

I am treating part time in the clinic alongside my two colleagues who are amazing and our superhero front desk staff who has made all of our lives easier and smoother!

Just wanted to check in and tell you we are thankful for all of the continued support and encouragement! It has been a harder season for me than expected with returning to work postpartum. I love being home with my baby boy, and I also love getting to help people in the way I get to.

That’s why we opened Refuge in the first place! Now it allows me to still help people but have the flexibility to be home with my family as well! So thank you from the bottom of our hearts for trusting us as a team at Refuge to help with your physical therapy goals and for allowing us to serve you! 🩵🩵🩵

Stop Negotiating With Your Injury

Jaxon's 2nd place finish we discussed yesterday wasn't a miracle; it was the result of refusing to accept a lower standard. He chose to execute while others would have chosen to sit out.

An injury is a temporary state, not a permanent identity, unless you allow it to be. Whether you are a state-level athlete like Jaxon or simply refuse to live with daily pain, the standard remains the same: Action over avoidance.

Many athletes have injuries or even little nagging pains come up in season!

Our job is to keep them moving and in season with training modifications.

We treat the injury but also build back the whole chain!

Shoutout to our hardworking gymnast, Layla, for always crushing it! 🤸 💪🏼

Jaxon's Success Story

With a limited recovery window, we got to work.

Through a focused plan that included: dry needling, cupping, body tempering, manual therapy, and a progression of targeted strength and mobility exercises, Jaxon made rapid progress.

In just seven weeks, Jaxon regained full mobility and approximately 90% of his strength. Most impressively, he returned to competition to place 2nd at the State Wrestling Tournament, helping his team finish 5th in Colorado!

Stories like Jaxon’s remind us that injuries do not have to sideline you longer than necessary. With the right guidance and a tailored approach, your body is capable of more than you think.

If you’re dealing with an injury and want a clear plan to get back to what you love, we’re here to help.

This is your reminder that taking care of yourself isn’t "all or nothing".
A short walk, a good meal, better sleep, a few minutes of breathing… it adds up.

You don’t need perfection. You just need consistency.
Small actions = Real impact.
