Lara is an exceptional PT. She is a committed practitioner who listens well, explains her process thoroughly, and is driven to help her patients achieve their most ambitious athletic goals. She's helped me stay healthy through many running seasons, run my best through 50 and 100 mile races, and recover after every race. She serves as the cornerstone of my approach to staying fit and healthy all year round and would be an asset to any dedicated athlete.

Lara is amazing. She really takes the time to figure out what is going on with me. She understands how everything in my body is connected and how an issue may present itself one way but really be stemming from something seemingly (to me) unrelated. When we try something that makes a huge difference she is just as (or maybe more) excited than me! I never really understood that being able to run correctly isn’t as easy as it seems like it should be, but sometimes it is the tiniest change that makes a big difference. I am so glad to have Lara helping me learn what those tiny changes are for me while I continue to improve.

I was introduced to Lara while training for my 5th marathon. The opportunity of a lifetime, Boston. A tight and tender hamstring had sent me into full panic. It was February and April was coming quick. Lara’s expertise, patience, and exceptional compassion were just what I needed! She diagnosed the cause, put together a plan and I’m happy to report I finished marathon #5 with a smile! There is no question that as soon as I choose marathon #6 my first call will be to Lara.

Lara has worked on my body for nearly 10 years. As a mountain athlete who demands a lot from my body, it's so comforting to know that she's there for me. She's helped me work through a climbing shoulder injury, allowing me to climb my hardest route to date recently. When I'm ramping up to leave the country on a climbing trip, or returning from one, she's always there to ensure I'm functioning at my best and recovering steadily. I really appreciate her understanding of what brings me joy - moving my body in the mountains. With that understanding, we work together to ensure that I'm able to continue doing what I love while also tending to muscular imbalances, soft tissue damage, or whatever my body is telling me. Lara will continue to be a central hub on my team to keep me performing at a high level for years to come.

I began working with Lara in April 2018 to resolve nagging arch pain in both feet that was preventing me from training at full capacity. I was signed up for a trail marathon and three ultramarathons between May and September, and Lara's expert care allowed me to not miss a single day of running. Between the immediate relief brought by the dry needling and the targeted exercises she prescribed, I was able to resolve my arch pain and have a great running season!

I have been seeing Lara for various injuries over the past few years. She has always been extremely thorough, communicates well, patient focused, and willing to try new treatments. After my last injury, I vowed to get better, stronger, faster and moved to a proactive, wellness approach. Lara was excited by the opportunity and provided me weekly strength, balance, and flexibility training to help prevent future injuries. I schedule a monthly session to work on any issues, update the plan, and make sure that progress is being made. She has always been available through email for any questions and her willingness to do this and customize the workout around my other activities to include those daily living hurdles has been amazing.
