The Run Rx provides concierge performance physical therapy and personal training services for runners and modern athletes. All of our services are customized and designed specifically for you, with your lifestyle as a runner in mind. We are Doctors of Physical Therapy with extensive experience in personal training, rehabilitation, sports performance, and detailed running analysis.
Whether you are recovering from an injury or simply looking for an extra edge to enhance your performance, let an expert help you do what you love to do better.
Tell us about yourself
I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy and always maintain personal training for clients on the side. After five years of practice in the traditional health care model, I started The Run Rx to provide more personalized attention to clients and bridge the gap between rehabilitation and staying active across the lifespan of the modern athlete. Each day I am motivated by the effect we can have on our runners, to keep them healthy and doing what they love to do.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment so far has been opening our brand new location, which required a full buildout and long process from beginning to end but ended with a beautiful and modern new studio well worth the investment.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Riding the ups and downs of the good weeks and bad and being able to detach from work and balance life!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Get comfortable being uncomfortable.
- Don't be afraid to take risks.
- Have confidence in what you have to offer.
