“I have been a physical therapy client at MOTIVNY for 3 months and have been working with James. James has completely changed the way I think of strength and mobility and how they should be incorporated to achieve my distance running goals to work with my body. I went from being told I needed major hip surgery and taking an 8-month running hiatus... to working with James and running several times per week, including long runs. It has been such a positive experience.”
