Jill’s Story
Name: Jill
Age: 54
Years Running: 5 years
Jill had an injury for each of the five years she’d been running. UGH!
For the first two years it was knee pain. The third year it was fascia pain. The fourth year it was hamstring pain (she just couldn’t catch a break).
She wasn’t running the miles she wanted to run. She wasn’t running the paces she wanted to run.
She tried strength training, rest, ice, compression, elevation, chiropractic interventions and massage. Nothing gave her the results she hoped for.
Frustrated and at her wits end with what to do, she reached out to us for help. Within a few weeks Jill’s hamstring pain resolved and she was able to run the 2020 Boston marathon injury-free!

Name: Kevin
Age: 50+
Years Running: Less than 2 years
Kevin had been running for less than two years (yep, you don’t gotta be running long for chronic injury to take hold).
He was struggling with Achilles tendon pain, tight hips and groin pain. He hurt ALL the time; especially when he stood up from a sitting position. Even just walking around at work caused him pain.
He tried to fix himself by stretching, rest, foam rolling, changing his running form, BioFreeze gel, anti-Inflammatories, KT Tape and wearing compression gear. NOTHING worked the way he’d hoped. He was becoming more stressed and frustrated…wondering if he’d ever run pain-free again.
His goals of running 100 miles per month, a sub 21 minute 5k and more half marathons were quickly going to the place where runner’s dreams go to die.
We ended up working together. We mapped out a 10 week plan for Kevin and helped him implement it and in less than 1 week he was 100% injury-free!

Edward’s Story
Name: Edward
Age: 40+
Years Running: 10+ Years
For Edward, what started out as one injury quickly cascaded into many.
For the last 5 years he’d suffered with hip flexor pain, hamstring pain, knee pain, hip pain and low back pain.
He tried to fix himself by stretching, strength training, changing his running shoes, going to physical therapy, straps, bands, and more, yet his injuries got worse (so frustrating) but was ultimately forced to stop running.
We started working together. 2 weeks later he was no longer waking up in pain. At 5 weeks he was experiencing no pain in his left hip flexor or hamstring (something he hadn’t experienced in 5 years.
At 7 weeks he ran a 5K and was looking forward to many, many more!
Watch Edward’s story to discover exactly how we helped Edward go from years of hip flexor pain, hamstring pain, knee pain and low back pain to running a 5K just 7 weeks later.
Name: Tim
Age: 59
Years Running: 10+ Years
When Tim came to us he was experiencing knee pain, pain on the outside of his lower leg above his ankle which was most concerning for him. He also had osteoarthritis in his right hip.
He LOVED to run, but every time he tried, his pain would force him to stop (it was so discouraging). The pain would then linger for 2-3 days afterwards. The ONLY time Tim was running was during his Crossift workouts. That was no more than 400 meters. But even that he said was excruciating.
Over the last 5 years, Tim had gone to multiple physical therapists. He also tried chiropractic, acupuncture, yoga, strength-training, stretching, ice and TENS machines and more.
He was skeptical that there was anything that could help him.
We ended up working together.
We mapped out a 10 week reconditioning plan for Tim and helped him implement it. Five 5weeks later he was able to run 2 miles pain-free and was excited about running again!

Julio’s Story
Name: Julio
Age: 62
Years Running: 10+ Years
Julio was 62 years old and a Court Officer II at a Supreme Court and a Staff Sergeant/ SSG at the U.S. Army.
When Julio came to us he’d been suffering from debilitating plantar fasciitis (PF) for two years. He had just gotten out of an immobilization boot and was on the verge of giving up running.
He tried doctors, physical therapists, conventional cures, herbs, rest, medications, immobilization, reducing his miles, cycling, stretching, turmeric, rubber bands, balance balls, foam rolling, a Strasberg sock, compression, ice, prayer and more. Nothing got him back to running pain-free.
We started working together and within 45 days Julio related that he felt 70% better. In the last 3 years he’s run approximately 15 marathons and 8 half marathons, training with his buddies again and able to continue doing something he loves.
