Why run? To get outside, see things/places, get a good workout, talk with friends, accomplish training goals, endogenous dopamine.

Why physical therapy? To help you feel good, learn how to help your body do the things you want to do and need to do.

Why Boulder Run Physio at Ability Physical Therapy? We love running. We understand how it fits in to many of our lifestyles. We devoted our professional lives to learning how to help others enjoy the type of running they want (and other stuff too).

Random fun fact about you? I'm trying to finish the Wheel of Time book series this year.
