About me

Hello! I'm Jena, owner of RunStrong PT.  I have been a runner since I was 10 years old- when I fell in love with the school mile! I have run, lifted, skied, biked, hiked every since then! I have run 3 marathons, 10 half marathons, 4 TC 10 miles, many 10k/5ks! 

Working in an orthopedic clinic setting for the last nearly 16 years has given me great perspective on treating clients. In this time, I advanced my understanding and ability to return runners with many types of aches, pains, injuries, surgeries and post partum. I am skilled in differentiating soft tissue injuries [muscles/tendons/ligaments], from bone injuries [Bone stress reaction and Fractures], and nerve and radicular pain. Along with working with post surgical patients to create a treatment plan and training back to running.   I truly love to dive deep with my clients into their past injury history, run training, barriers, areas of weakness and opportunity to form a detailed picture of how to return to running healthy again. I have worked with clients from 18 to 75 who have had clients with neck, shoulder, upper and low back pain- along with the 'usual' lower body injuries! .

I am married, with two kiddos. I was not able to run during my pregnancy due to medical recommendations- so I personally know the struggles of returning to running from 0 as a busy mom! 

Thankfully, I have only once been injured significantly - in 2021 with TERRIBLE plantar fasciitis. 

I can't wait to meet you, get to know your goals and get your back to running again! 

HAPPY, HEALTHY RUNNING! 

Jena.
