I was struggling with recurring ankle pain from running and it was affecting my performance. Tracy took the time to assess my injury and create a plan that addressed both my pain and my strength. Thanks to her expertise and personalized treatment, I’m back running at college and pain-free. I’m so grateful for the care I received—it truly made a difference in my recovery.

Stride PT is an exceptional clinic! I had the pleasure of working with both Bonnie and Tracy for my Achilles Tendinosis. I cannot speak highly enough of their skill and professionalism. At the age of 75 I have made significant improvements in my mobility and strength.

I worked with Tracy for my lower back pain, she was amazing and so was my result. I treated at another local PT clinic and I was shuffled in and out of there so quickly every visit. Tracy was deeply committed to helping me, listened to my concerns and helped me get back to being pain free and work after my injury.

I came to Stride PT with nagging knee pain from running that just wasn’t going away. After a thorough assessment and targeted treatment plan, I’m now running pain-free and feeling stronger than ever. The therapist really took the time to understand my goals, and I’m grateful for the personalized care that got me back on track.
