Running is our jam
Here at Upward, we pride ourselves in specializing in activities that we enjoy ourselves (after all, it’s much more fun!). We are experienced road and trail runners, with hundreds of races under our belts. We know what it takes to train for a big race, or to get back into running after taking time off. We’re passionate about helping you optimize your training experience and avoid injury. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy use our expertise in functional movement, injury prevention, and runseasi technology as tools to help you create a personalized training program specific to your goals and aspirations!

Running Injury Prevention & Physical Therapy
So many of us only seek out help from a movement professional after an injury has already happened. And by then, it may prevent us from running that race we’ve been training for for months.
Let’s change the game. We are all about the proactive approach here at Upward. Come and see us as soon as (or better yet, BEFORE) you are having any pain at all. This way we can work together to create a program that will help you perform your best and hold you accountable.
