“I worked with Joey and was really pleased with the experience. Up and Running has a strong reputation in the local running community, and deservedly so. I got personalized exercises with modifications to work on my weak zones. Over a series of appointments I saw growth in my strength and corresponding updates to my assignments based on my available equipment and time. I liked that I could ask all the questions I wanted, get the reasons why the exercises would help, and where to focus my attention when learning new techniques. By my last appointment I had a library of options to continue on my own. Up and Running and Joey certainly left me in a better place and I would recommend them to anyone either coming in with a specific issue or simply looking for areas to improve.”

“My wife has been seeing Jen for years and is a professional dancer. Jen is incredibly knowledgeable and a master of her craft as a PT. When Jen started working at up and running, I was looking for someone to help take my triathlon andI ultra endurance game up a notch. Jen recommended Joey to me. My experience working with Joey has been nothing but exceptional. This group of PT and staff are super knowledgeable, personable, cool, and make you feel welcome. I totally trust my PT Joey to help keep me safe, injury free, and find imbalances that limit my performance both in sport and daily life! As nurse practitioner and strong believer in physical therapy, I have and will continue to recommend family, friends, and patients to them for everything mentioned above!”

How to Heal a Torn Rotator Cuff Naturally
A torn rotator cuff can make even simple movements feel impossible. Reaching for a glass, lifting a bag, or even sleeping comfortably becomes a challenge. You want to know how to heal a torn rotator cuff naturally, but is that possible?
The good news? Many rotator cuff tears don’t need surgery. With the right approach, your body can heal itself.
Natural recovery takes patience, but it’s possible with a mix of rest, gentle movement, and targeted therapies. The key is reducing inflammation, strengthening supportive muscles, and avoiding further strain.
You don’t have to live with pain or limited mobility forever. Let’s go over the best ways to help your shoulder heal without surgery.
Hip Mobility Exercises to Unlock Power: Don’t Let Your Hips Hold You Back
When it comes to staying active and pain-free, your hips play a more vital role than you might think. Poor hip mobility doesn’t just affect your hips—it has a ripple effect on your entire body. The good news is hip mobility exercises can make all the difference!
If you’re an active adult or an outdoor enthusiast, improving your hip mobility can be the key to enjoying activities like hiking at Horsetooth Reservoir or running along Spring Creek Trail without pain.
But here’s the kicker: neglecting your hip mobility could lead to long-term issues like:
– Low back pain
– Knee discomfort
– Even Achilles problems
If your hips aren’t doing their job, other areas of your body will have to pick up the slack—and that often leads to pain or injury.
So, how can you improve your hip mobility, stay strong, and move better? Incorporating a hip mobility exercise routine can be the solution.
