I started coming to Up and Running for a calf strain. Before coming, I tried quite a few alternatives: acupuncture, massage, and rest for weeks at a time, but nothing helped. At my first appointment, Joey said that I’d be back to running pain free within 8 weeks. At the time I was skeptical but willing to give it a try.

I found Up and Running and was pleasantly surprised with how kind and caring the owner AJ was towards my situation. He matched me up with Joey who did a wonderful job at not only showing me daily exercises I can do to help strength my foot, but also helped me get back to my normal self! I can now start the school year off right and know that if I ever need help again Up and Running will be there every step of the way. Highly recommend if you are even considering physical therapy for your injuries that may be stopping you from doing what you love. Less

I came to Up and Running PT after a recommendation of a friend for pain in my hip when running, especially up hills. I was training for the Horsetooth Half and hill training was crucial. I have been to multiple different PT programs and what stood out about Up and Running the most was the amount of time they spend with you each session. Sam, my PT at Up and Running, was amazing! She first worked with me to relieve my pain and then worked with me to keep the pain from coming back. Sam used a variety of techniques to relieve the immediate pain. She taught me important body cues so that I could still run but protect my body from injury as I was rehabing my hip. I loved how responsive Sam was to my needs and was realistic and respected my time. As a busy mom of three, Sam worked with me to keep the exercises concise yet challenging in order to get me back to running hills pain free. Up and Running PT also uses a patient portal where the PT can upload videos of the exercises which was great because it helped me with my form and able to confidently perform the exercises at home. Overall my experience with Up and Running PT and Sam were phenomenal. If I need PT in the future, I will definitely be returning. Less

About 15 months ago I went to Up and Running with a brutal stress fracture in my lower leg, and a history of stress fractures. I was a sporadic runner, letting myself go over the winter, and then training too hard to “make up” for the winter. Injuries were a common companion in the spring. I’m an older runner (euphemistically, a “master runner”); with my history I was facing the prospect of no longer running. Last year I had to drop out of the QuadRock. But AJ really turned me around. He listened to my concerns, my realities, and my goals. He was able to integrate his remarkable understanding of the science and practice of running with my interests and needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner for recovery. He provided the guidance to get me on track to healthy and enjoyable running for the foreseeable future. I am forever grateful. With AJ’s help, last December I set my half marathon PR, and, last weekend, I finished the QuadRock25. Less

I've been having knee and hip pain for over 6 months until I decided it was finally time to see a PT. I tried several things on my own with no improvements and things were just getting worse. I was at the point I was pulling back on personal goals and reducing what I thought I would be able to do this summer. Within a few weeks of working with Joey I started to see improvements. I wish I would have come into Up and Running sooner! I've been to several PTs for various issues over the years. Typical PTs will spend 10-15 minutes with you and recommend 2-3 appointments a week. This approach limits the progress that is made between appointments and limits the effectiveness of each session. With that PT typical approach it feels like you're wasting your time and money while in clinic. Up and Running spent quality time in clinic and made the most of the time I was spending there. Their approach makes the time spent in clinic so much more valuable and useful which I really appreciated. Joey was able to understand the issues I was having almost immediately and worked with me in clinic to give me the right tools and approaches to make progress in recovery. He helped me fix my training program to avoid issues in the future and I'm back on track to meet my goals. For anyone looking for individual, valuable, and smart PT I highly recommend Joey and the team at Up and Running Physical Therapy. Less

I went there for a foot injury that completely stopped me from running (and even walking) and disrupted my gait. When I first contacted them about it and visited the office, I knew immediately it would be a good experience. They are very focused on really understanding the injury and my goals, and especially on getting me back to full performance function (not just helping pain). Joey is particularly awesome. I always felt better right after sessions with him, and the exercises he gave me were things I hadn't seen before that really helped me work on recovering at home and get back to running like I wanted to. I HIGHLY recommend Up and Running (and Joey!)--100% worth the time and money. Less

Sam Greig and the Up & Running team were amazing! I contacted U&R regarding sports-related low back pain and discomfort that had been ongoing for about 2 years. From the first session Sam was clear about what PT would involve, her and my respective roles in the treatment plan, and the tools and methodologies available to me. She prioritized equipping me with strategies, tools, and tactics so I could continue to heal outside of formal physical therapy sessions. When there was a beneficial practice I could not take advantage outside of therapy sessions (i.e. dry needling), she made sure to prioritize those in-session. When there was an issue that needed a second opinion, the other PTs in the office were more than happy to assist. After 8 weekly sessions, Sam's pelvic health expertise and thoughtful treatment helped me get back to having fun outside instead of worrying about my next injury. The office is full of PTs who are also athletes that engage in running, climbing, and lifting. I would highly recommend (and already have) that anyone needing PT seek treatment here. Less

Within a week of training for the Horestooth Half I was already telling myself that I probably needed to quit and get a refund. My hamstring was killing me by mile 3 and this was an old injury that I'd been dealing with for about 7 years. Since that injury I hadn't run anything over 3 miles, was really cautious when lifting and even went to other professionals to get help. I figured wth, why not go see URPT (I'd seen their FB promo) and see if they had anything different I could try. I went in for the initial evaluation and Dr. Sam put me through a series of assessments. She told me it would take about ten sessions with her and hard work at home to get me to a place where I could confidently run the half marathon. Spoiler alert! I just completed my 7th session as of late March 2023, left my appointment and ran 10 miles out on the trail that runs along Shields with NO PAIN! Don't get me wrong, my body was sore and feeling things that it hadn't felt in years but I felt no pain in my hamstring or hip. I had written off running as a form of exercise and told myself that this injury was just something that would always nag me so I was constantly waiting for the pain to creep in. But nope, nothing! I do my at-home exercises consistently and I know that it's going to take a few more months of work to make sure this thing is healed for good, but being able to run pain free is something I never thought I'd be able to do again. I can't thank Dr. Sam enough for helping me. It's more than just running this half marathon; it's being able to run with my husband and know that I'll be able to run with my daughters when they get older. As for working with Dr. Sam, I cannot say enough good things about her. She's extremely thorough with her evaluation and her depth of knowledge not only allows her to recreate the exact pain, but give you the right exercises to effectively fix that pain. She gets down to business and pushes you the right amount to make sure you're getting better without overdoing it. She is a true professional. Moral of the story is that if you're dealing with any pain or telling people you're just "not a runner", go see URPT! They'll be real with you if they can help and they won't sugar coat what it actually takes to get better. You also have to be accountable to putting in the work, but their expertise is unmatched. See you out on the course in a few weeks! Less

I started PT at up and running because of a few injuries I had developed through obstacle course racing. I had a lot of injuries in the right side of my upper body (chest, shoulder, & back), and then my left ankle (Achilles and more) was a mess as well. I found up and running through a google search and was so pleased with my initial assessment I started going regularly for 6 months. My schedule was limited so I wasn’t able to go in every week but even with limited visits, Sam was able to do so much work on me and give me exercises to do in between that made a world of difference for my body. I had gone to PT last summer and had a terrible experience (pt didn’t help my injury at all and I left with more pain than I started with) so I was hesitant but Sam’s approach was SO much better! I told her my injuries and she did comprehensive movement assessments on me and found more muscles (than I had realized) that were strained and some of the causation of the injuries and created a program that attacked the problem from the root. I have been working with her for 6 months now and went from barely being able to breathe because I was in so much pain to running faster than ever on trails and throwing my body around on ninja warrior courses regularly again! She has also given me exercises and progressions for preventative measures so I can maintain the health and strength we have created. I can’t thank Sam enough for all of her help. Worth every dime.

From my first appointment, I felt welcomed, heard, and confident that this shin problem was going to be taken care of! Joey has been such a great PT to work with! He identified some significant imbalances in my left vs right side-- it all made sense to me as I had knee surgery on my right leg 5 years ago and never cared to strengthen it since. Since then, Joey has been an incredible help in getting me back to running stronger! Now 2 months later, my shin problems have gone away, I am running faster and stronger, and I have a new set of great exercises to maintain my strength! I used to be very skeptical of PT given prior experiences, but I highly recommend going to UPRT! I had such a great experience and looked forward to each appointment! Less

I knew I wanted individual and specific help with my injuries so that I could learn from the experience and have skills to help myself in the future. I found just that in Up and Running PT. Not only was I willing to put the time and effort into healing my body so that I could continue to enjoy an active life, I knew that this PT clinic and Sam would put the personalized time and effort into me. During my sessions with Sam, I felt heard, validated, and like she really listened to what I was saying. It was clear that her approach was tailored for me and not a generic routine. This not only created a great client relationship but it also created increased motivation and drive to improve. From this experience I now have knowledge of what I can do to keep myself from experiencing this again, or if I do, how I can proceed. And certainly, if I do need PT again, I'll be returning to this clinic. For anyone looking for individual, valuable, and smart PT I highly recommend Sam and the team at Up and Running Physical Therapy. Less

As I was training for the Marine Corps Marathon, that I ran in October 2022, I was encountering several different areas of pain in my legs and feet, as well as tiredness in my legs early during a run. At 52 years old, and running only my 2nd marathon, I was at a bit of a loss. After some online research, I came across Up and Running PT. I decided to give it a try as I was unable to overcome the difficulties that I was encountering. I worked with Joey once a week for a month and a half, and was not only able to complete the marathon, but drop 20 minutes from my previous time from 4 years ago. And it wasn't just 20 minutes faster, but it was 20 minutes faster the last 8 miles. Up through mile 18, my times from 4 years ago and this day were identical. The work I did with Joey gave me a better ability to finish strong and have my body feel better after the race. Joey was very knowledgable and easy to work with. Moving forward, I am looking to continue running for fitness and will utilize the exercises and stretches that Joey outlined for me. I would strongly recommend Up and Running PT for anyone needing assistance with their running. Less

I am 58 years old and I returned to dance four years ago. I currently take adult dance classes in Ballet, Jazz, and Contemporary. My age, years of sitting at a desk job, and a slew of old injuries combined to limit my mobility. I am a more proficient dancer than I was four years ago, but I want to have a greater expression of movement. I have been disappointed previously with doctors and physical therapists who basically told me that my expectations were too high and/or that I was too active for my age. I changed my search to try to find a PT that focused in sport movement and who understands why I want to continue participating in my sport at my highest level and I found UP and Running PT. I meet with Joey once a week and he gives me a regime of lower kinetic chain exercises for me to do throughout the week at home. The exercises are challenging, but I am working to attain my goal. When I started, I was only thinking about my bad knees, but it turns out the exercises also help my ankle and hip joints. Joey is helping me to strengthen the muscles supporting my joints and gain joint stability. I am already moving better and with greater confidence – my ballet jumps are higher and my contemporary dance floor-work is more agile. I am really happy with my progress and am looking forward to feeling even better as I continue therapy though Up and Running PT. Less

I loved working with Sam at Up and Running. I specifically searched for pelvic floor physical therapists after experiencing severe pain in my pelvic floor muscles. When I started my sessions, I was in pain daily, couldn’t sit comfortably and missed out on a family vacation because the pain was so severe I couldn’t sit in the car for a long time. It was very hard emotionally and physically. Sam is very knowledgeable in this area of the body and helped determine my pain was caused by overly tight muscles and helped me with breathing, stretches, and strengthening exercises that have greatly reduced my pain. I’ve been able to get back to my normal life and daily activities with much less pain (and anticipating everything returning to normal with continued stretching and exercises). I appreciated Sam’s gentle approach and always making sure I was comfortable. When you are working with the pelvic floor, you have to be comfortable with the person you’re working with and Sam was great from my very first visit. One of my favorite things was dry needling that was offered in-office during my sessions. I also liked that Sam asked me at each appointment what I wanted to accomplish during each session, so I was able to do the things I really felt I needed. I highly recommend seeing Sam if you are experiencing pelvic pain! Less

I received specific exercises that were progressed after each session, manual therapy, and some dry needling that all were helpful in helping me improve my walking quality, my strength, my range of motion, and my ability to return to the sports/hobbies that I enjoy (running, biking, climbing, hiking, etc). I would definitely return to Up and Running for any future needs! Less

Samantha Greig is a fantastic PT. I came in for Plantar Fasciitis and she set me up with great workouts to strengthen my foot during the session and at home. After my sessions my foot is feeling much better and if I keep doing the workouts like she instructed I'm sure I'll get fully over my issue. Thank you, Sam!... More

I was a brand new runner when I met AJ this Spring at a local 5k race, and was immediately intrigued by his run coaching offering.

I was a brand new runner when I met AJ this Spring at a local 5k race, and was immediately intrigued by his run coaching offering. I wanted to become a better runner, and was already interested in signing up for more races over the summer time. We first had an introductory call where he took the time to patiently answer all of my questions and paint a picture of what working together would look like. I filled out an intake form with my goals, current training program (or lack thereof), and before I knew it he had programmed my first week of runs into the Final Surge app. Not only did AJ listen to my goals, he encouraged me to set them too! So, I signed up for a half marathon which at the time felt like a huge stretch for me. Throughout the training process, AJ was always available for support, encouragement, feedback, and to talk me through a race day plan. It felt so good to know that someone had my back and was holding me accountable. I also found a lot of comfort in knowing that he is a Physical Therapist and an avid runner himself. He KNOWS what he’s talking about, and he coaches in a way that is encouraging and positive. It’s been just over 6 months since I started worthing with AJ, and wow has it paid off! I’ve gone from a brand new runner, to a runner that has taken a podium at a 10k. I can also now proudly say that I just ran that half marathon—the farthest I’ve ever run in my life, and the fastest. Just saying that fills me with so much pride + joy, and I truly don’t believe any of this would have come to fruition without Up and Running PT. This has been hands-down one of the best investments I’ve made in myself. If you’ve ever thought of hiring a run coach, look no further than Dr. AJ Cohen and his team. Less

I visited Up and Running to get help with hip/glute pain that was impacting my running to the point where I was considering giving it up for a while. Sam was amazing and gave me new hope that I could heal and get back to the sport I love. She did a very thorough evaluation of my symptoms and muscle strength. She tailored a plan for strength training and a step up approach to running that allowed me to jump back in safely. Through specific strength exercises, dry needling, and a reasonable yet challenging running plan, I am thrilled to say I am back doing what I love with 70% less pain than when we started working together. And I’m hopeful I will only improve from here. I would HIGHLY recommend Sam at Up and Running! Less

I was so nervous going into PT for the first time ever that some doctor was going to tell me that I couldn't run for a really long time in order to get better. This did not happen at Up and Running PT, and I believe I chose the best place possible for an injured runner to go to! Working with Sam has helped me to learn so much about my body, how to heal from injury and ease back into running, while still staying super active (which I love)! Sam is always open to answering my questions and making sure I fully understand why I am doing what I am doing. I have been going for about 10 weeks now, and have a 50-mile race coming up in about 4 weeks. Sam has helped me get to a great point in which I am back to training and will be prepared to race! Yay for PT! Less

If you are a runner with a chronic injury (or even just running pain) and you might be feeling a bit hopeless - give them a call. Price point is a bit high relative to other physical therapy but ABSOLUTELY worth it! Less

Both Sam and AJ were the best PT's I have ever been to. They considered what was going on in my life mentally during the time of the injury and were very thorough with their initial evaluation. I really appreciate the fact that both Sam and AJ specialize in runners, and understand that as a runner, we want to get back to running as soon as possible. Sam provided me with strengthening exercises, explained them very clearly, and had me do them in the clinic first to make sure I was performing them correctly.

Sam is really a professional: she knows the diagnostic techniques to understand an injury, and she has the problem-solving ability and knowledge of treatment methods to really effectively improve it. Over six sessions we developed a stretching and strengthening regimen to address several imbalances and weaknesses we identified, and by the end I was back to comfortably running in the foothills! It was honestly fairly remarkable to work with her and internalize some of her extensive knowledge of body mechanics. I've seen a few other physical therapists for different issues over the years, and Sam has been the best I've worked with to date.

I was so frustrated and disenfranchised feeling like I just needed more personalized help. Sam has been absolutely incredible. She explained how pelvic floor healing is about a mind/body connection and the importance of whole body strengthening in healing the pelvic floor. Sam knew my goals of being able to play soccer, run, and jump without leaking and catered a program to help me meet those goals. She was personable and friendly as well as professional. I was never uncomfortable, and she always remembered details about my life outside of our sessions which made things that much better. I am still working, but I have made huge strides in being able to do things that I couldn't do before and that is all in thanks to Sam and her incredible knowledge and willingness to make things so personal.

I sought out physical therapy for pelvic floor support. I learned about a specific treatment from a provider in California who was unable to help me from a distance. She recommended Sam Greig, PT, DPT in my local area of Northern Colorado at Up and Running Physical Therapy. Each week Sam provided detailed physical activities related to breathing, core strength, and developing essential muscle groups. Her approach pinpointed my areas of concern. She listened carefully, assessed my functions while explaining it all to me with an educational approach, and then she set forth a plan. She was very communicative in checking in with my progress and moving forward with more exercises. I felt very comfortable with Sam and she met me with much confidence and knowledge. I can integrate the strength building and breathing exercises into my already established workouts without being overwhelmed. I have recommended Up and Running to my friends and colleagues.

I reached out to AJ last fall after sustaining a knee injury while playing soccer. After 2 months of the nagging pain and minor improvement I decided it was time for professional help. AJ quickly helped me identify possible reasons for my ailment and developed a program to get me back to the the physical state I desired. After just 4 intermittent sessions I was able to be back to running and strength training full time. I still use the exercises he gave me today in order to prevent further injury. The fact that AJ only works with people who are willing to learn and desire change in their body's is why I would recommend him 10 out of 10 times. Not only does he assist you in getting back to 100%, but he works with you to improve your abilities in order to achieve the goals that you have. I can confidently say that AJ is one of the primary reasons for me becoming a stronger runner and achieving my marathon PR earlier this month. Thank you AJ Less

In September 2021, I awoke at 4am with my head twisted to the side and severe pain radiating down my arm.

In September 2021, I awoke at 4am with my head twisted to the side and severe pain radiating down my arm. An ER visit revealed a herniated disc and the next few months involved steroid anti-inflammatories, chiropractic treatment, cervical traction, and massage therapy. Although the pain improved, I had residual numbness and weakness in my left arm. My MRI showed premature disc degeneration and nerve compression at level C5/C6 due to a neck injury 14 years ago. Without surgery, my prognosis was permanent nerve damage that would likely end my ability to rock climb, so I opted to have the disc replaced in January 2022. When I was 1 month post-op, my neurosurgeon recommended PT, so I reached out to Up and Running. I met AJ in the Fort Collins running community and knew his approach would be running and climbing specific. I was initially afraid to do much of anything with my arms because I didn’t want to worsen the ongoing symptoms. AJ helped me feel confident about gradual weight training and taught me how to target specific muscle groups, so that I could improve my strength asymmetry. He also recommended some adjustments to my running training plan so that I could prepare for Quad Rock 25 without too much impact on my neck. I’m pleased to report that I’m 3 months post-op and already rock climbing and running again. I’m optimistic that I’ll continue to improve and get stronger in the upcoming year. I’m very grateful to Up and Running for helping me recover and resume the activities I love so quickly because I was uncertain what my athletic future would be. I greatly appreciate the expertise I experienced, which was much more customized to my specific needs that generic PT elsewhere. I’d highly recommend Up and Running to other rock climbers and ultrarunners! Less

Most recently Sam helped me with a low-grade Achilles injury I’d been trying to deal with (unsuccessfully) on my own for nearly two years.

I came to Sam and AJ after having quad issues that began to hurt first during running then walking for months after my half marathon training that I couldn't seem to eliminate. As someone who had an extensive running and physiology background, I thought I could solve it on my own but wasn't able to until I found Up and Running PT. I tried rest, stretching, massage, exercises, and didn't solve it until I worked with Sam to figure out the source of the problems and how to create an effective plan to solve my issues while still allowing me to keep running. As a runner, Up and Running PT was very appealing to me as I knew they would understand typical runner injuries and how to eliminate them while still completing running goals. This expertise along with the much longer length of consultation and sessions was something I did not see available at any other PT's in the area. They were very nice and knowledgeable so I left every session feeling stronger and energized to continue running which is huge part of my life and I'm happy to have had them solve it after only a couple months. I know physical therapy sometimes seems like something you can on your own at home if you know the exercises but this is well worth it. Thanks guys! Less

As a fellow ultrarunner and science nerd, AJ had a refreshing no-BS approach to what my injury meant to my training, as well as what the current state-of-the-science said would be the most beneficial for getting me back to where I should be. I appreciated very much his willingness to explain to me the logic behind the workouts he had me do to re-strengthen my foot. It made me feel genuinely cared for and in-the-loop on what the the PT community recognizes is the best practice for treating my issue. AJ understands the awful feeling you get training for a trail race and having a major injury setback, and wants to get you back to your training plan as fast and as safe as possible. I HIGHLY recommend for anyone in the outdoor community who's looking for a PT who literally understands your pain. Less

I first went to AJ for help diagnosing and treating a shoulder injury in early 2021. After an in-depth yet very accessible initial evaluation, AJ drew up a treatment plan for me and my symptoms were resolved completely within a few visits. Later in the year, I suffered a partial tear of an A2 pulley in one of my fingers and, after taking a couple of weeks of rest, went back to AJ. Expanding on the information he explained while working with me on my shoulder injury, AJ not only gave me an incredibly effective, yet simple and easy to implement treatment plan, but a solid framework to understand how soft-tissue injuries and our perception of pain & discomfort interact during the injury, treatment and rehabilitation process to provide context above and beyond a simple "do X, Y & Z". This gave me a great baseline to better understand the signals my body was giving me and not only recover from the injury and return to climbing quickly and safely, but also avoid injury in the future and assist in working to treat & rehab future injuries. I'm following a similar process after straining a different pulley and the framework AJ taught me has proven invaluable during this time. I can't recommend AJ enough! Less

I saw him again in-person for plantar fasciitis and he gave me a rehab plan that was evidence and strength based.

I also loved that I have been able to keep running throughout this process, with an understanding of pain scales and load management that I didn't have before. I would 1000% recommend him to anyone.

This left me in a vicious cycle of not running or strength training to wait for healing, but then when I would start running again the same pain would come back. The insight that AJ provided on understanding different levels of pain in combination with the strengthening exercises he showed me, allowed me to continue to run while strengthening the areas that needed strengthened. I'm still a work in progress, but I feel way more empowered with the approach that AJ provided than with my previous PT experiences! Additionally, AJ provides lots of scientific facts to back up his approach that he openly shares, I appreciated that a lot! Less

I tried different strategies hoping to recover, including stopping running, bending it less, etc. It was at the point where I could only bend it to 120 degrees. I race in triathlon and was only able to do duathlons because of it. Also, I love sitting on my feet as I work and couldn't even do something as basic as that. I have been going to see AJ for only three weeks and my mobility range has already increased to 140 degrees! I was already able to race again and can sit on both feet with a slight modification which is very exciting. AJ uses a variety of methods and exercises so he is able to define what works best for your particular anatomy. He is easy going and gentle but also knows when to push for best results. He can even use Chiropractic adjustments as you go along (I had pulled a back muscle compensating and he fixed that too!). I would recommend AJ to any athlete (or individual) for a holistic diagnosis which will not only help you recover but will improve your running form. Thank you AJ!! Less

Not only did a feel great during the triathlon, I didn't have to deal with pain after the race. (I also cut off over a minute from my T2 time not having to put knee straps on.

I have also greatly benefited from dry needling to treat tension headaches as well. Two years ago I went from barely able to get out of bed independently (due to severe back pain during my pregnancy) to completely pain free while under his guidance and care. AJ is different then other physical therapists and always goes above and beyond to make sure his patients understand their plan of care and the research backing up his approach. I highly recommend patients who are looking for an “out of the box” approach to treat and overcome their injuries to see AJ. He also does strength and performance as well as run coaching if you are looking to become a stronger more resilient runner. Less

For about a year I was struggling with my Achilles while doing ultra races and saw multiple different PTs, who gave different answers to what was wrong. I would do their exercises/stretching they gave, but didn't notice a difference. When I saw AJ earlier this year, he immediately was able to identify the culprit to what was triggering the pain; Haglunds deformity. He gave me a single exercise to do with a progression. Unlike other PTs, the exercise provided put a good amount of load on the right area of my Achilles and calf muscles. Because of one session with AJ, I was able to tackle three 50 milers in 8 weeks without hiccups and laybacks. Prior to seeing AJ, I doubt this would have been possible. Definitely would recommend AJ to anyone being plagued by an injury. Less

So here is the backstory: Active guy --- ran dozens of 1/2 marathons, 5 marathons, more 5Ks and 10Ks than I care to count.

So here is the backstory: Active guy --- ran dozens of 1/2 marathons, 5 marathons, more 5Ks and 10Ks than I care to count. I ran to stave off age and stay off medications that seem to become part of a middle aged persons life and it was working. About 3 years ago I started suffering right side calf pain, then right side lower back pain, then right side piriformis, numbness. I was unable to walk a few blocks, let alone run. The medical drill: Orthopedic surgeon wants to operate on my back, family doctor sends me to rehab to learn how to place milk jug in refrigerator and how to stand in the shower to cope with my limitation for the rest of my life, another physician gives me epidurals, muscle relaxers, and pain meds. I had no accident, I had no falls, I hadn't overdone it lifting something, something wasn't right, but I could not get medical professionals to listen. Enter AJ: Step 1 --- he listened to my long drawn out story along with my theories on what I thought was wrong. Step 2 --- he asked pointed questions (what had I tried, what was my lifestyle, what worked in terms of reducing pain, what was I able to do comfortably, etc.) Step 3 -- he answered my questions and educated me as to why some of my theories or research were possibly right and where other ideas may be a little off base --- he wanted me to understand the big picture Step 4 --- He created a detailed plan, explained the plan, why he wanted me to follow the plan, and why I should not deviate from the plan (the plan is rehab exercises geared for MY ISSUE and a back to running plan geared for me) Step 5 --- 4 weeks into the plan I am running 5K without pain In closing: AJ listens, really evaluates for the individual, and comes up with a plan for the individual (no one size fits all approach). He communicates if you have questions -- he makes himself available for those quick questions or concerns --- just a great person to work with with Less

AJ clearly has a lot of expertise and I appreciate his dedication to research supported practices in the field - he stays up to date and targets his interventions toward what will be most effective. I also appreciate his knowledge about running dynamics and the fact that (unlike other medical professionals I have seen) he doesn't just tell me to stop running while my injury heals. Highly recommend! Less

I have been an advocate and consumer of Physical Therapy since my mid 20's when I first started utilizing PT to keep me on the pitching mound after developing some chronic shoulder pain. PT has most definitely improved the quality of my life over the years because it has allowed me to keep active in the activities that bring me joy and connection. Not all PTs are the same. I am fortunate and grateful to have found AJ Cohen at Up and Running Physical Therapy after moving to Fort Collins. I came to him after the second occurrence over a three year period of severe foot pain that struck suddenly during my warm ups right before my first Olympic triathlon attempt. The first time it happened was right after a half marathon. The pain was so severe, I could not run on it for weeks (depressing!). After this second occurrence, I started to believe that my long running days were over and started working on accepting this "fact." I gave AJ at Up and Running a try after meeting him on a group run he hosted through our wonderful Fort Collins Trail Running club. He had given a brief talk on the importance of strength training for runners prior to the run. I was intrigued, because what he was talking about seemed so radical compared to what I have read and been taught from coaches over the years. Well, I can now say that working with AJ has been one of the best investments in myself I have made. He has reinvigorated my running. I completed my first trail marathon late last year, and now I am training for my first 50 miler! I am getting to enjoy long peaceful trail runs pain free and feel stronger than ever. And on top of that, I am playing catch with my two baseball players and able to do high altitude back packing trips with my daughter pain free! AJ does not waste my time and money using modalities that are not needed or called for. He takes the time to explain and educate me on the evidence based, rehab protocols he feels are going to be most effective for me, taking into account my actual life situations and goals. He is generous with his knowledge and advice and backs it up with the latest and best evidence. I now partner with him on coaching for my running goals. I have so much more confidence and understanding in myself. Some dreams that I thought maybe I am getting too old and injured for are back in play as possibilities. Less

I found AJ at Up and Running PT this summer when I started feeling some pain behind my shin (runner). I had a number of things I was worried it might be (stress fracture, shin splints), but with some testing he was able to assess that it was my posterior tib. He gave me some exercises to do to strengthen the muscle, and tailored them to what I was capable of doing at home since I’ve been avoiding gyms due to COVID. The biggest difference between AJ and any other PT I’ve worked with is that he got me back to running SO much faster - mostly because he didn’t tell me to completely take time off. He gave me a program that started mostly with fitness walking and less running, and increased the ratio of running to walking over time. This in combination with the exercises meant that when I got back to being able to run the entire time, I hadn’t lost nearly as much fitness as I normally do when I’m trying to rehab an injury. I went from being unable to run without pain to finishing the Black Squirrel Half in a little over a month! Working with AJ has also completely changed the way I think about running injuries. In the past, I’ve always believed my injuries to be the result of imbalances, something being “wrong” with my body (flat feet/overpronation), or just needing to stretch more. I’ve learned from AJ that it’s really about whether the muscles and tissues are strong enough to withstand the training load, and that the best way to prevent injury isn’t to stretch like crazy but to do specific exercises to help my body adapt to the training load. I’ve cut a lot of practices that weren’t actually helping much (mostly all the time spent stretching and foam rolling, and a lot of glute work), and I spend my limited time doing exercises that are way more effective at making me a stronger runner and preventing injury. I would 100% recommend AJ/URPT to anyone who’s looking for evidence based physical therapy that is going to get them back to their running as quickly as possible and make them a stronger runner going forward!

Since starting with AJ in January 2020, I've had the best year of sustained success running. It's been a good balance of strengthening the right muscle groups, running smarter, and training smarter too. He does a good job of setting you up for reasonable expectations with what running will look like, how to read and react to different levels and types of pain, and does a good job of encouraging and pushing when needed. He is one of the nerdiest people I've met, which is a good person to have in the physical therapy field. I always feel he keeps up with the newest research. Everything he told me had science behind it, and he was good at acknowledging when we just don't know one way or another. I highly recommend this practice. Less

After one session we were already swapping stories and he was showing how much knowledge he actually possessed.

I even had a follow up session with him not because I wasn't getting better, but because I wanted to learn even more exercises that would help me as a runner. I am so thankful for him and because of his help I was able to build up the strength in my tendons and ligaments slowly (because of the run/walk + exercises combo) and by the summer I was running 50 mile weeks consistently without pain. Would recommend AJ to anyone!! He is super knowledgeable and keeps up to date with the data and research in the field. If I ever have any other niggles or pain I wouldn't hesitate to go to him first.

Recently, I suffered a Grade 1-2 MCL tear while running and visited Up and Running Physical Therapy after attending a workshop hosted by them at Alive By Raintree. I was intrigued by what AJ Cohen spoke to about running related injuries and how injured ligaments, tissues, fascia tissues benefit from continued activity. This seemed counter to other treatments prescribed by other professionals in the industry but resonated with my own belief and hope that the body rejuvenates itself from movement and care. I began a 5 session treatment plan and continued running and strength training that has successfully brought me back to racing and running trails. I am grateful for the knowledge AJ provided to allow me to continue running with Athletes in Tandem. Less

I had injured my knee from a work injury in 2017 and hadn't really done anything physical for about two years. I was recommended to AJ through a friend that climbed at whetstone, I had the summer pass but wasn't using it very often.

I had injured my knee from a work injury in 2017 and hadn't really done anything physical for about two years. I was recommended to AJ through a friend that climbed at whetstone, I had the summer pass but wasn't using it very often. After my work with AJ I was feeling stronger and more confident in my knee's physical ability. After that I noticed an improvement in my climbing and felt more confident. This led me to get a full time membership at the whetstone. Knowing AJ worked there made me feel confident that if I were to sustain another injury through climbing or running that I would have an excellent therapist that would get back on my feet in no time at all.

Loved up and running physical therapy. He improved my running by helping my body stay healthy while being able to push myself with my running goals.

I was looking for a physical therapist who was also a runner and I found that in Dr. AJ. After my first meeting with him I felt confident, comfortable and ready to rehab a back, glute, and hip issue. He was positive in his approach and helped me realize that "the rehab is the training" so that I could do daily workouts safely and with good results.

A.J. was able to quickly identity the potential source of the problem and suggested some basic stretching and strengthening exercises.

My abdominal strain started improving immediately and my hip flexors are no longer tight. On top of that, since the pain has lessened, I have been able to run more miles while getting better. A.J. is passionate about his work and I will definitely see him again should I have any more running related injuries. Less

I never would have made it to the finish line of the half without his help. He did a thorough evaluation to diagnose the problem and explained everything to me clearly. He showed me exercises to do on my own and we worked on increasing cadence to improve form which also helped. It was easy to get convenient appointment times and my knee pain improved within a few sessions. Definitely recommend! Less

His goal was to get me back out running ASAP. He is very accommodating, he gave me a free consult on Thursday and Friday did a full evaluation of my running style, training routine and body mechanics. By the end of the hour he identified the issue, we practiced exercises to correct the issue, he then emailed me videos exercises so I could work to improve the strength in my foot at home, and sent me on my way with a free theraband. His goal is to keep you doing what you love. I would recommend seeing AJ for any injury but especially a running related one. He has great conversation as well by the end of the appointment I told him I don't want to come back to have him work on me, I'd rather go for a run with him. AJ is body mechanics wizard and an all around awesome guy. Less

The week following my injury I mindlessly got on the treadmill and had so much pain I had to stop, but immediately thereafter remembered to do the warmup exercises from AJ and was able to run about 3.5 mi with little pain. I was given a number of time effective exercises that I could do while juggling my work and childrens' activities while safely increasing mileage again. Fortunately I was able to start and finish the Quad Rock 25 mi race healthy and even beat my previous times. I love the kettle bell injury prevention exercises!! Less

AJ was great at helping me address what seemed like a laundry list of body issues. He gave me great exercises to start healing and strengthening.

I came to AJ with various lingering issues down my right leg while training for a marathon, and, within one session, he was able to accurately assess my symptoms as all being related to a nerve root compression in the L4 vertabra. Going forward, his treatment of me in our sessions, in addition to the exercises he prescribed me, have helped me to get back to running with little to no pain, depending on my compliance with the exercises. When similar symptoms started to occur in my left leg and lower back recently, I didn't freak out, but, rather, applied what AJ had taught me. Now, that pain is significantly reduced. This is what AJ is about: teaching self-care and maintenance so that, when possible, you can learn how to take care of those nagging pains and injuries yourself when they inevitably come up again. Besides all of that, AJ is very friendly and inviting. You will feel comfortable when you walk into his clinic. You can tell that the care and education of his patients is his highest concern, and he is very knowledgeable about sport specific injuries and how to treat them. He can get to the root cause of your injury and help you to treat that instead of just treating symptoms. He has dealt with many of his own injuries while engaged in different activities/sports, so he also has personal experience to draw upon when treating you. You can also tell he is a giver because he is willing to help and point you toward resources, even outside of your time with him in booked appointments. Your investment in the care that AJ provides is well worth the cost. Less

As injuries have crept up during my short time in this sport, I've worked with another PT, a podiatrist, and seen a surgeon trying to identify what's causing my pain and how to fix it. AJ, amongst all these folks, seems to have helped the most so far. AJ performed his assessment very professionally and thoroughly. He then explained what he believed to be the problem in a very clear, easy to understand manner. Maybe most importantly, he tailored my strengthening exercises to my specific sport/activity. His needling and ESTEM skills are on point, too. Aside from the therapy itself, his practice is very centrally located in mid-town and easy to reach. His website is easy to use, and AJ himself has been very accessible and responsive for follow up questions and such. It's a great alternative to an outpatient Physical Therapy office. Less

AJ asked me a lot of questions about my injury but also allowed me to ramble on about my symptoms, pains, and theories as to what is happening. He did a strength & mobility assessment, followed by some manipulations and dry-needling. He talked me through his process each step of the way, making sure I was comfortable and that I understood what we were doing and why we were doing it. AJ assigned me some ’homework’, a manageable number of strengthening exercises in hopes to eliminate my issues moving forward. He also sent a follow-up email with a summary of my appointment and some additional recommended runner’s core / lunge routines to do if I had time. AJ was very professional and you can tell how passionate he is about his work. I’ll certainly be going back to him anytime an issue arises. Thanks, AJ! Less

AJ was very knowledgeable about pain referral patterns and was able to improve my hip/low back pain with just one dry needling session. He explained his thought process every step of the way & made me feel comfortable throughout the treatment. Very skilled & professional. Would highly recommend to anyone.... More
