At Starting Line, you won’t be discharged just because your pain is gone. It is my goal to provide you with the tools to not only get out of pain but build up a tolerance to loading so that the same pain doesn’t keep sneaking up on you! We can seamlessly transition to in person performance training or online coaching to help you maintain the gains you’ve made in your initial phases of rehab.

Stronger Runs Await You!
*
We are just ONE day away from sharing with you our strategically designed strength program created with the “busy runner” in mind!
*
This program is for YOU if:
* You don’t know where to start with strength training
* You’re short on time and have a hard time managing runs + strength
* You need someone to filter through the noise and make the decisions for you
* You have limited equipment at home and no gym access
*
Let us take the guesswork out of the equation and provide you with a well rounded, full body strength program that is easy to follow and doesn’t disrupt your run training!
*
If you want to be the first to learn more when it drops tomorrow, head to the link in our bio and join our newsletter!

A little reminder for you today🩵
“Keep Showing Up”
*
This is my go-to favorite from running legend, @des_linden , and it stuck with me because no matter where I’m at in my training journey, if I keep showing up for myself then I know I will keep making forward progress and it will always be worth it.
*
When you Keep Showing Up, you may surprise yourself on where you’ll be in 3, 6, or 12 months from now.
*
*
Save this for later or send it to someone who needs it today. by @startingline207

What is the LTAP?
*
The LTAP ™️ includes 5 orthopedic Based assessments that help direct me to better understand where to start my treatment.
*
When I say, I’m trying to understand the “root” cause of your symptoms, I mean it. The LTAP allows me to do just that!
*
That isn’t meant to over-simplify pain because pain is multi-factorial which means there often isn’t just ONE cause, BUT with this assessment tool it helps direct me to the area to focus on FIRST that is causing a protective pattern that isn’t allowing the body to fully heal.
*
As @movementrev says, “It reveals the area of the body that will result in the greatest global change and facilitate optimal dynamic alignment and self healing capacity of the body.”
*
This assessment tool has truly had a profound impact on how I assess and treat, which has resulted in my patients getting back to what they enjoy most, FASTER!
*
*
If you’re experiencing pain that you just can’t figure out, let’s connect! Comment LTAP to get the conversation started :).

What it REALLY looks like behind the scenes☺️ at Starting Line!
*
A little bit of assessing, a lot of education, and not taking myself too seriously to keep sessions fun!

Something you probably wouldn’t know about my process is is that I am a LTAP Certified Practitioner ( thank you to @movementrev !). This assessment protocol is how I start all of my sessions to help guide me on where to start! Check back tomorrow to learn more about the LTAP!

I said what I said. If you are looking for training support AI isn’t the first place I’m going to send folks.
*
Does is mean that all AI generated programs are inherently bad? No,not exactly. It will likely provide you with some solid workouts and general plan BUT it won’t be able to
🤖Make adjustments to your program when your sick or navigating injury
🤖help you figure out how to modify your training load while on vacation
🤖remind you to get throw away clothes to wear at the start of the race in case it’s a chilly start(👋fall marathoners)
🤖help you troubleshoot why you keep cramping during long runs
🤖talk to you about your life stressors that are impacting your ability to recover in between sessions
*
If you want REAL results, start working with REAL coach. @trishkana_dpt and I are currently accepting new clients! Spots are limited! Send us a DM to learn more.
*
Don’t have a race on the schedule? No sweat! You don’t need to be training for a specific race to want to work with a coach and have a structured plan! by @startingline207

When you hire a human coach, you get a human experience.
*
Your program will be online but your coach will be a living, breathing, licensed Doctor of physical therapy and certified run and/or triathlon coach who will take into account your daily schedule and life demands.
*
We take into account
✔️Your busy work schedule
✔️Any lingering injuries you may be navigating
✔️Your disrupted sleep when your kiddo is having a sleep regression
✔️That you need a reminder to pack extra fuel and to add electrolytes to your water
✔️The fact that you HATE speed workouts on a track but are ok when its integrated into a run
✔️That you only have 10 and 20lb dumbbells and we curate strength plans with that in mind
✔️Your load tolerance and know that back to back run days don’t work well for you
✔️When stress increases (because life is life-y sometimes)
✔️YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL!
*
Soooo you could chatGPT your training plan but I don’t think you’ll get an excited golf clap or personal cheerleader when you share your wins! Just sayin’ 🤷🏻‍♀️😬.
*
*
If you are ready for real life accountability and a human first approach to coaching then comment COACH and we’ll send some more info your way! @trishkana_dpt and I are each accepting 3 new clients to start in June!
