My Story

I thought that by becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy and being a clinician for almost 15 years, I could help (pretty much) anyone but I’d never “worked with runners”.

…I’m embarrassed to say those words considering what I know now. 

Did you realize there are over 20 million injured runners in the US every year?  I undoubtedly encountered many of them in my first 15 years of clinical practice.  It makes me sad to think of how many runners I could have served better but didn’t know how.

I thought I was a good PT but I certainly wasn’t a runner.  Oh, I’d tried to run in my 20s & 30s but breathing problems and a knee that would swell up like a balloon led me to buy into the myth that…

 “I’m just not supposed to be a runner”

…then, in my 40s, I started working with injured Solders whose livelihood and career advancement was dependent on their ability to run.

Who was I to help them when I couldn’t even help myself?

I joke that I’ve made (pretty much) every mistake there is to make along this running journey!

But here I am, pushing up against a half-century of life on this beautiful planet, and never in my wildest dreams would the younger Tamara ever have imagined saying,

Here I am…

An Ultramarathon Runner

A Triathlete

A Running Coach

A RUNNER!

You don’t have to be an elite runner to help injured runners.  I’m certainly not!

You don’t have to be a runner at all.

You're never too old to learn this, I was over 40 before I learned how to run without pain, and you're certainly never too young!  I sincerely wish I'd learned this as a PT student...even a decade earlier would have been great!

But you owe it to your injured runners to learn how to help them. 

We all enter this profession to help people.  I can give you the tools to help those runners who will otherwise suffer needlessly, enduring one preventable injury after another.

You can help them!

What are you waiting for?!?!
