Physical Therapists and lifelong running enthusiasts. We know how much running means to you, and we’re here to help you move better, run stronger, and stay injury-free
About Us
Hi, I'm Robin!
I’m a licensed Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapist with a passion for treating running related injuries. I love working with runners of all levels—from beginners to seasoned marathoners and ultra runners, to reduce pain, improve mechanics, and boost performance.
I especially enjoy working with complex or long-standing injuries, pinpointing the root cause(s) driving the symptoms. Helping runners return to the sport they love with confidence is incredibly rewarding.

Spring & Fall Workshops
Movement & Performance for Runners
Date/Time: Saturday June 6th, 8:30am-9:30am
Location: 4464 Fremont Ave N UNIT 101, Seattle, WA 98103
Cost: $45
Location: 4464 Fremont Ave N UNIT 101, Seattle, WA 98103
Cost: $45
A small-group workshop for 8–10 runners looking to improve performance by reducing unnecessary stress with every stride.
Wendy and Robin will guide you through a series of movement, mobility, and motor control* assessments designed to identify inefficiencies that may be limiting performance or contributing to injury risk. You’ll leave with 2–3 individualized exercises tailored to your specific findings to help improve movement quality, symmetry, and running efficiency.
The goal: move better, run stronger, and build more resilient running mechanics.
*Motor control refers to the nervous system’s ability to coordinate and execute efficient movement through the integration of sensory input and muscular activation. Strong motor control supports stability, adaptability, and efficient movement patterns during running.

Run Strong: Strength & Power Essentials for Runners
Date/Time: Monday, September 21st, 2026
6:30pm-7:30pm
Location: 4464 Fremont Ave N UNIT 101, Seattle, WA 98103
Cost: $45
A workshop designed for 8-10 runners looking to enhance performance by reducing stress with every stride.
With the constant bombardment of fitness advice, it can be challenging to distinguish trends from solid, evidence-based guidance. As an endurance runner, your strength training shouldn’t mirror that of a bodybuilder or team sport athlete. It needs to be specific, efficient, and designed to complement the high mileage required for endurance running, so you can improve your running economy* without sacrificing your time on the road/trail.
In this workshop, you'll learn how to structure your resistance training for maximum impact: how heavy, how much, how often, and which muscle groups to target, so every stride is stronger, more powerful, and more injury-resilient.
*Running Economy: How efficiently the body moves during running, influenced by metabolic, biomechanical, and neuromuscular factors. Improving it requires targeted strength training that enhances movement efficiency, force absorption, and stability.
