Still Hurting After Trying Everything?
You've rested, stretched, maybe even done a round of traditional PT — and you're still not back to full speed. You're not broken. You've just been given the wrong plan. Sound familiar?
"Just Rest" Isn't Working
Generic PT Left You Plateaued
Surgery or Injections Aren't the Answer Yet
You've been told to stop running, stop lifting, stop competing — but every time you ease back in, the pain returns. Rest treats the symptom. It never fixes the cause.
Fifteen minutes with a tech, a handful of resistance bands, and a printout of exercises you already know. If that's what PT has meant for you, you haven't experienced what PT can actually do.
You've been handed a referral for an MRI or a cortisone shot — but no one has explained why you're in pain or built a real plan to get you out of it. There's a better first step.

Gary Bolduc
"Originally experiencing back pain when running, Nicolette performed a complete assessment and determined the best path forward to address weaknesses that were the primary cause of my pain. In a less than expected time period, she had me running pain free — and also improved my overall leg strength, making me a stronger runner!"
Kris Litman-Koon
"For over a year I experienced a lot of pain if I ran more than 2 or 3 miles. I worked with AG, and she did a phenomenal job diagnosing what was going on and creating a personalized plan for strength and training. I'm back to running long distances pain-free and I look forward to racing again."
Mike Hirsch
