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.

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. Sure enough, after just 4 or 5 visits I was running without pain for the first time in several months! I can’t recommend Joey and Up and Running Physical Therapy enough! Less

As a teacher I've been dealing with some PF in my foot for over a year now and was tired of it getting in the way of not only my work life, but my hobbies as well. 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 had to decide between conservative therapy or a surgery for a meniscus tear. I was pretty fit and strong going in, and was improving initially, finally deciding on surgery. Having regular physical therapy with Joey really helped me stay strong with tailored exercises, an easy app with a list of my daily assigned exercises, and professional advice going into surgery and healing after surgery. I’m seven weeks out from surgery now and already hiking 13 milers and cycling again.Thanks, Joey and Up and Running! Less

So glad I found Joey and Up and Running PT. I haven’t been able to run since 2016ish without pain in my hip and knee. Now I’m running 3x a week and have never felt stronger. The exercises we are doing are obviously targeting my weaknesses, I love doing them and making progress. Dry needling is also a game changer.

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

Sam was awesome and I’m extremely happy with my experience. The home exercises and the exercises we did in the office helped me reach all of my goals. She was patient and kind and made sure I was comfortable every session. I highly recommend Sam and Up and Running P/T!

I've been an avid runner since high school, and for the last 3 years have been a Physical Therapist. There is nowhere else I would trust for high quality physical therapy care than Up and Running. My many experiences working with AJ and Sam have been nothing short of exceptional. I would recommend Up and Running PT to anyone and will continue to come back!

AJ was super responsive and helpful in getting me scheduled for a physical evaluation and gait analysis. After dealing with a decent foot injury he was very attentive when listening to the story / symptoms, evaluating my gait, and describing the process and plan to get back stronger than before. Will go back if I have any other questions or need advice with regards to running and ortho health.

Up and running PT is incredible! I fell and hurt my wrist, it negatively impacted my golf game, and my doctor recommended PT, Sam was amazing, she taught me exercises and stretches that helped my recovery, and even increased my swing speed! Highly highly recommend them if you are an active person or competitive athlete.

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.

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

Joel helped me figure out what happened to my knee and showed me exercises to help recover. Recovery has gone great! It was a relief because several months prior to meeting with Joel I had little progress

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've been to several PT clinics and chiropractors for different injuries, but Up and Running is by FAR the best experience I've had. 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.

I tried resting for a while, only for it to come back the next run with even more pain. I chose URPT because of the great reviews, both on Google and on the Facebook Noco Runners group. 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

Sam was my PT and she was phenomenal. Super thoughtful and mindful of what I actually needed to get better at. Didn’t try and just put a blanket over a problem. She was fantastic. Up and Running PT was an amazing experience.

I experienced an injury to my knee and hip and after a few weeks of little progress on my own I knew it was time to get professional help. 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

Through a few sessions of dry needling and sticking with the assigned exercises, my back has significantly improved over the course of several months.

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 pursued therapy at Up and Running after a partially torn LCL because I value the one-on-one sessions, the personalized instruction that I received (that you wouldn't get from other clinics or larger healthcare organizations where you are just a number), and I care about seeking professionals who are active in the same type of activities that I wanted to get back to. Joey was so super easy to have a rapport with. 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

Sam is awesome! I started seeing Sam to help strengthen my pelvic floor and to relieve shin splint pain so I could start running again. I learned so much about how my body works and great exercises to get me back into fitness. She is very knowledgable and detailed. I would highly recommend her!

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!

I experienced some long standing hamstring problems and was looking for answers. AJ helped me with dry needling and a whole bevy of exercises that helped me to recover.

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 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.

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

After having over-use injuries from running of plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinopathy, I decided to seek out PT. 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.

After having over-use injuries from running of plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinopathy, I decided to seek out PT. 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

I thoroughly recommend AJ as an ultra-running coach. He helped me get to, and through, my first 100K (Never Summer) injury free which I doubt would have happened without his help. Regular contact through meetings, texts, calls, and the occasionally group run, kept my training on track.

I sought out PT due to achilles pain, I was unable to exercise, and I had tightness and pain every morning. Sam was wonderful, she listened, made me feel heard, and pushed me at the right moments. I started seeing improvements after the first couple of visits, and I am now free of pain. Sam also helped me with another injury that occurred right before I started seeing her with my hamstring.

I started seeing improvements after the first couple of visits, and I am now free of pain. Sam also helped me with another injury that occurred right before I started seeing her with my hamstring. Sam equipped me with the exercises and routine I will need to continue to build strength and avoid a recurrence. Not only did Sam work with me to improve my symptoms, but she explains everything going on with your body so that you have a stronger understanding. I could not recommend Up and Running, and especially Sam, more. Less

If you are struggling with pain, mobility, or just health related goals in general, I cannot recommend Up and Running enough! I have worked with both AJ and Samantha and they both have helped me figure out the cause of my pain and helped me overcome it. Seriously, if you need any help at all give them a call!!

Cannot speak more highly of Sam and the team at Up and Running. She helped me through a ton of injuries, and got me back into the race scene, and back into long trail events. Thankful for the professional expertise and care that I received! Highly recommend!!!

Sam helped me through a wide range of injuries and limitations that I had. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine care was essential to getting me pain free and racing again!

Can't recommend Up and Running enough!!

Can't recommend Up and Running enough!! I've had a chronic ankle injury that has affected my running for 2 years now (and consequently affected my overall body position, etc.) and, after having limited success with other physical therapy, I came to Joey at Up and Running feeling pretty deflated. But honestly in a few sessions, I have had MASSIVE improvements, am back to feeling as strong as I did running ultramarathons, and am still improving. 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

However, this past summer I unfortunately started experiencing pain associated with plantar fasciitis. Sam Greig was amazing in helping me devise a therapy plan to recover and simultaneously return to running so i could train for my race. Sam's approach was unique in that it mixed PT with running and training that allowed me to meet my goal. I would highly recommend anyone seeking PT to go see Sam - she was amazing and I am grateful for her help and expertise. She has not only given me the ability to reach my goals but also empowered me with the education and training I will need to continue my lifelong running journey. Less

I worked with Sam over a few months to overcome an injury that prevented me from being able to rock climb without some pretty limiting pain. She was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful throughout the process of identifying the root causes of my pain and progressively prescribing exercises to address it. By following the program, which Sam updated each session based on my progression, I’ve been able to get back to climbing without pain faster than I’d originally hoped. I also learned a ton that will help me avoid injury going forward. I would definitely recommend working with Sam — it was a great experience all around. Less

My experience at Up and Running Physical Therapy with Sam was wonderful! She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and listens to your concerns. She took the time to educate me in a way that no other PT I’ve worked with has done. I feel much more knowledgeable, confident and have made huge strides during my time working with Sam. Highly recommended!

I am an active person, and was utterly devastated to be sedentary for such a long period of time. I chose Up and Running PT because of their specialization in helping runners and active people overcome injury. I worked with Joey for about two months, and am now pain-free, and starting to get back to jogging again! Joey provided injury-appropriate guidance and exercises to not only strengthen my foot, but my whole body. Each session we continued to advance my progress, while being mindful of my pain levels and abilities. Up and Running PT helped me go from months of painful hobbling, to pain-free jogging! Less

I’m so thankful she’s a resource for me in getting stronger and helping my relationship with running continue on. I will definitely call her again if and when needed but like she said… she hopes I don’t have to see her any time soon! Less

I came to Sam a few months post op after an ACL repair. I was frustrated with the long recovery and just wanted to get back to my active lifestyle. Sam has been amazing. She has helped me build strength and coordination and helped change my gait to begin running again without pain. She is so pleasant to work with and always meets me with a smile. Thanks Sam!!

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. They were extremely helpful when I needed to schedule an MRI, and continue to answer my questions whenever I call. If you are a runner, or anyone who is looking for kind, compassionate and knowledgeable PT's, I would highly recommend Up and Running. Sam and AJ are the best! Less

I worked with Sam Greig at Up and Running PT over the course of a few months to treat sciatic nerve pain caused by a household injury. 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. Highly recommended for personalized, thoughtful, and effective treatment. Less

AJ and the Up and Running team are of the highest quality in the industry. I've worked with AJ off and on through the years. I often defer to his expertise in helping me achieve my running goals. I highly recommend Up and Running to anyone who is either dealing with a running related injury or is embarking on lofty goals. -Nathan

I contacted Up and Running PT in an effort to heal my pelvic floor after two pregnancies and trying way too many things that just didn't work. 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 will (and have) recommend Sam and Up and Running PT to anyone, especially women in need of pelvic floor help. Less

She listened to the details of my problem and offered solutions that worked for me so that I could be successful with my treatment goals. I highly recommend getting an evaluation to see if Up and Running would be a good fit for you.

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. Anyone who may be interested in successfully improving their pelvic floor health or in need of other PT services, I highly recommend up and Running Physical Therapy. Less

I tried a few more times after that and the same result. I went and got hyaluronic acid injections, and that didn’t work. I waited a few months and found Up and Running PT, and it was the best decision ever! AJ explained the importance of progressive load for the knee joint. He designed a walk/run program, which included a lot of weight training exercises. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and I’m back to a regular running routine. I’m currently running 4 miles 3 days a week my goal is 5 miles. I am beyond grateful for the expertise and professionalism AJ provided. I wouldn’t be back to running without him! Less

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. 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

She was able to help me apply the appropriate amount of load during PT exercises to heal and strengthen by Achilles without exacerbating the problem (the appropriate load is what I’d been missing trying to treat it on my own based on a few articles I’d read online). I’d highly recommend AJ and Sam for anyone with running related injuries. Less

Sam was awesome! She helped me recover my leg strength after healing from a stress fracture, and also gave me the perfect exercises to recover my core strength that was lost due to giving birth to twins. She knows an exercise for literally every part of the body and every motion, and gave me so many tools to keep improving beyond the sessions. Thank you Sam and Up and Running PT!

If you are tired of visiting PTs who tell you that in order to feel good you have to stop doing activities you love, then AJ is the right PT for you! AJ spent a lot of time getting to know me and my goals, and he tailored every appointment and assignment to fit those goals.

If you are tired of visiting PTs who tell you that in order to feel good you have to stop doing activities you love, then AJ is the right PT for you! AJ spent a lot of time getting to know me and my goals, and he tailored every appointment and assignment to fit those goals. This approach made me feel confident that even after I stopped going to see him, I could continue to use what he had taught me to navigate any future flare ups. After working with AJ I'm stronger and pain-free, but most importantly, I feel a renewed sense of optimism in what my body can do, and I'm not scared to ask my body to do it! Less

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 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

I'm a trail runner who had debilitating plantar fasciitis. I went to Up and Running and thanks to AJ's expertise I was able to overcome my injury.

I'm a trail runner who had debilitating plantar fasciitis. I went to Up and Running and thanks to AJ's expertise I was able to overcome my injury. 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.

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

In only 3 visits, I have already seen a HUGE benefit from visits with Samantha. She is skilled in managing symptoms of endometriosis as well as pelvic floor muscle weakness and impaired coordination. Not only that, she is personable, will make you feel comfortable, and will give you the tools to support your progress at home. I would highly recommend her services:)

Samantha was attentive and did a great job at answering my questions and forming a specific plan for my injury. I was hesitant that 10 sessions would be enough however we are having to table our last two because I’ve done so well.

It has been so great working with Sam! I’m a runner and triathlete trying to get back into racing after having kids and with a hip labral tear. Since seeing Sam I’ve been able to run further and faster and overall my running has felt more fluid. I feel more confident at being able to manage the labral tear without surgery. Thanks Sam!

I had been debating on seeing a PT for about 6 months now and it made my decision to start with Up and Running PT much easier. I have been working with Dr. Samantha Greig for a month now on both postpartum issues and workout injuries. I feel much confident in my daily life and workouts to eventually feeling more normal. She explains everything well, gives alternatives and modifications for prescribed exercises, and is very friendly personable. If you are not sure about them, give them a call! They have been great to work with! I highly recommend Up and Running PT! Less

I had a great experiences with AJ. I highly recommend him. His approach to PT is less "routine" and more personalized. He helped me address my injury in a shorter period of time than other PTs would have which saved me a lot time and money. He is very involved, gives a lot of useful information, and is very knowledgeable. I sent my mom to him.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. AJ. He was attentive, kind, professional, and knowledgable. Even after my initial evaluation, I left feeling confident that Up and Running had given me the tools I needed to improve.

I have had trouble with shin/leg pain on and off since I started running a few years ago. My partner encouraged me to see AJ and after one virtual session he was able to explain why I was having pain and help me eliminate it almost immediately.

I saw him again in-person for plantar fasciitis and he gave me a rehab plan that was evidence and strength based. I'm confident that I'll soon be back to running more regularly and for longer distances. AJ not only wants you to be able to get back to where you were, but to push beyond that. 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. Less

AJ has successfully helped me recover from injury twice now, achilles tendonitis and posterior tibial tendonitis. Before working with AJ, I was left frustrated after seeing 3 different PTs with no successful recovery. AJ is the PT to see if you are injured and eager to get back to running ASAP.

AJ has a lot of experience treating running injuries. He helped me tremendously with a gluteal tendinitis. Highly recommend him.

I went to AJ due to chronic knee pain that was limiting ability to run. I had seen several PT's before AJ that always took the same approach of, "Don't run if there is any trace of pain." 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.

I went to AJ due to chronic knee pain that was limiting ability to run. I had seen several PT's before AJ that always took the same approach of, "Don't run if there is any trace of pain." 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 enjoyed AJ hands on approach and detailed physical exercises. He really targeted my problem area and helped me regain confidence in returning to running and ski season.

I worked with AJ for coaching guidance in trail and road running. His vast knowledge and personable coaching style has resulted in injury free running and competitions! Which is unheard of for me. Would HIGHLY recommend his services to any level of athlete.

Being a new runner with a history of a spinal fusion AJ has given me the confidence and tools to become a competent runner without any pain. I would recommend him to anyone!

I am loving it so far and can’t wait for next spring when I am planning on trying my first ultra in over two years. Thanks, AJ! Less

I came to AJ due to a knee injury that was ongoing for months. 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

AJ is a talented and professional PT. He was quickly able to assess the severity of my injury, recommended a proactive approach to recovery, and provided immediate relief through dry needling and e-stim. After his assessment and recommendations I have a much better understanding of the issue and feel comfortable managing my recovery.

I am a triathlete who came to the sport because I was constantly injured from running. For the past 12 years I have struggled with knee pain related to IT band problems. I have seen many different physical therapists to try and find relief. Sometimes the pain would get better, but it would never really go away...and I always had to run with knee straps. AJ was able to quickly identify the problem and gave me useful exercises to strengthen areas that are weaker. He helped me make minor changes to my running that have had such a tremendous outcome. I am now able to run pain-free and without straps!! I am beyond grateful to AJ and highly recommend him to anyone struggling with persistent injuries. Thanks to AJ I was able to compete in a triathlon last weekend without using straps to run for the first time ever. 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. That's for any triathletes out there. :) I am SO excited!! I still have work to do, but I cannot believe how much AJ has helped in such a short period of time. Truly AMAZING!!! Less

AJ has helped me overcome injuries numerous times over the past few years from knee pain to severe back pain episodes before and during my pregnancy. 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

He offered helpful exercises that I could do while maintaining my training plan for a trail ultramarathon. It's great to address the root problem rather than just masking the symptoms.

If you are a runner or just an active/adventurous person, I highly recommend Up and Running Physical Therapy. Less

AJ was a pleasure to work with in dealing with a nagging climbing injury and obvious weakness. He evaluated me quickly but thoroughly and demonstrated the best exercises for me to get back to 100% as soon as possible.

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.

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

I had injured my knee during running. AJ helped put together a plan to not only strengthen my knee but all of the muscles that may be weak that support the knee.

I had a high hamstring issue and had stopped running because of it. I saw AJ and he got me back to running and taught me some exercises to strengthen the area and reduce pain. Would definitely recommend!

I ran into two IT band issues training for my first ultra this spring, and I was pretty devastated as the race was only a few months away. AJ put me on a plan that not only kept me running, but addressed both of the issues. Thanks doc! Sent the Bryce Canyon 60k this weekend!

AJ came highly recommended by some of the guys from my gym, and he did not disappoint. Came in with some severe low back pain and very limited mobility, AJ helped me work through my injury without having to give up being active. He gave me tools to help me for years to come and if I’m ever in need of PT I would go right back.

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

His knowledge, energy and personality have made my strength training program a completely different experience in the best way possible. He’s not just a coach, but a friend and someone who truly cares! I would highly recommend AJ for a strength and/or running coach! You rock AJ!

Dr. Cohen has been great to work with! He has helped me with running and climbing injuries/stresses, and always gotten me fixed up. Highly recommend!

Helped diagnose a minor injury and worked with me on how to test my self before a 50k. Very knowledgeable.

AJ and Up and Running Physical Therapy has been a game changer for me. I have spent a lot of time in throughout my 20's being injured going to PT. AJ has by far been the best PT I have gone to - not only did I make noticeable progress within the first couple of visits, but AJ has helped me reframe what I thought my body is capable of!

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 absolutely loved working with AJ. I had been dealing with a years' worth of injuries and setbacks; but, AJ turned that all around for me. With a mix of his assessments, advice, planning, and therapies I found myself back to regular, sustainable running again. I would highly recommend AJ to anyone looking to resolve a lingering injury or simply break up their own injury cycle.

Working with AJ was great! I'd had 7-8 months of painful running, and was feeling pretty discouraged. He immediately started me on a modified running program with tailored strength training to strengthen specific muscles, and over the course of our five sessions he had me feeling not only physically stronger but mentally more resilient as well.

Up and running made a huge difference in jump starting my recovery for acl reconstruction surgery. They helped give me the confidence to move workout without fear of overdoing it. I know that my road to recovery would have been longer without up and running!!

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.

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!

I came to see AJ after seeing a couple other PTs for IT band syndrome. I was spending tons of money, getting nowhere and my race was coming in a few weeks. AJ was able to get me thru training and completing my race, but more importantly I learned what I needed to do to fully heal. I was able to do that and crush my goals the next season with zero pain. Thanks AJ!

After suffering calf pulls every season for a number of years, and after having seen multiple glute-building physical therapists to no avail, I came across AJ’s information and reached out to him.

His peer-reviewed-evidence based approach had me back on the run within weeks, and now whenever my calves start to feel iffy, I have the tools to quickly and safely get them back where they should be. AJ gives you the guidance and support you need to perform at your best. He even managed to get my running buddy crossing finish lines faster than me...but don’t hold that against him 😊 He’s professional, courteous, and competent – and just a heck of a good guy all around. I couldn’t recommend him and his business more highly. Less

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

I had basically given up on running after developing a pain in my hip and many other therapies had proven unsuccessful in alleviating the pain. After one session we were already swapping stories and he was showing how much knowledge he actually possessed. Even coming up with a new idea on what the problem could be that I hadn’t heard as an option from anyone else. It made signing up for a 5 pack that much easier and I have no regrets. Now a few months later, with a permanent training plan in place, strength is still building in my hip and I’m back to running semi-regularly again with a goal of returning to races by next summer. 100% would recommend!

My experience with AJ at Up and Running was great! I signed up for 5 sessions and my issues were taken care of after 4. The sessions ranged from 30 minutes to 1 hour and I never felt rushed.

Dr. AJ really knows what he is talking about. I went to him after my shoulder dislocated again and he got me working and stabilized my shoulder for rock climbing. I am so thankful for the work that I have done with him and would recommend him to anyone who wants to get back to doing what they love.

AJ helped me out after I tore my ACL and MCL skiing in the spring. He's great at working with you at your level and explaining things in way you can understand. He's so happy to help you achieve your goals, including in sports often neglected (climbing, skiing). I'm back up and running without any pain or instability! If you're in need of a great PT, this is your guy!

As a new runner I signed up for one of AJs coaching programs and Im so so glad I did. AJs approach is evidence based and highly individualized, you will not get a cookie-cutter program with him.

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.

AJ is awesome! I was dealing with an inflamed and unstable ankle that was preventing me from training. After a few sessions with AJ and I’m feeling even better than before the injury. Highly recommend!!!

I have been working with Up and Running for a few months now, and can honestly say that he has transformed how I perceive my durability as an athlete. AJ is second to none when it comes to making time for his patients. Trusting the process starts with trusting AJ and putting in the work. 10/10.

outstanding PT! AJ really knows what he is talking about 👍

First time requiring PT, AJ is straight forward, thorough and honest. Fixed my ailments, got me running again and I will continue using many of his services.

Wish I had done my virtual visit with AJ a little sooner. It's a great way to check in with him about issues now that we have more time for PT exercises. It was also relatively easy to see the exercises he demo'ed over video chat.

I could tell however right off the bat that this was going to be different and my confidence grew with each personal session.

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

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.

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.

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 gave me strength and regular exercises that were very specific and exactly what my injury needed and I am running pain free after 3 weeks of doing them. If you do the exercises and strength training he recommends you will get cured. I also feel stronger.

AJ is very knowledgeable takes the time to explain treatment plans. I am confident that he has put me on a path to full recovery.

AJ helped me train safely through my injury that began 2 months prior to Quad Rock 25 mile race. Had some knee pain that got up to a "5."

AJ helped me train safely through my injury that began 2 months prior to Quad Rock 25 mile race. Had some knee pain that got up to a "5." 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 first learned about Up & Running/ AJ when I went to one of his free running clinics (which was incredibly informative, btw). I was having some hip issues as I was increasing my mileage. He provided me some mobility exercises that quickly fixed the issue. So, when I started having some lower leg issues, I knew right where to turn.

I had a great experience working with AJ! He is extremely knowledgable and passionate about what he does, which results in amazing patient care and education.

AJ is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He helped with my hip and back pain with super quick results. Thorough assessment of my pain and range of motion, and great with the dry needles. Highly recommend, especially for climbers!

AJ with Up & Running is a great physical therapist! I have gone to many PTs over the years and AJ is the first one who was able to pinpoint where my pain was coming from and exactly how it was impacting me. He is really up-to-date with the current research and explains the data in a way that is accessible and helpful. He really cares about the people he works with and will get you back to the thi...

AJ helped with a leg and back injury and got me running again! He is very easy to work with and knows his stuff!!

AJ does a great job. He fixed my knee tendinitis mid-season so I was still able to shred 3 feet of blower pow in Jackson Hole for a week straight. Very personalized experience and thorough exam. At appointments, you get an hour of AJ's full attention and he gives you the education, tools and workouts to do on your own time until the next visit.

I had a great experience working with AJ. I am also a PT so I’m pretty picky. His one on one attention and diverse treatment approaches got me back to running, lifting and being active within just a few sessions. I highly recommend Up and Running Physical Therapy!

I highly recommend AJ! He truly wants you to get better, not simply make you come in for more appointments. He’s super knowledgeable especially when it comes to running and climbing and explains everything as he goes. Very pleased!

Would highly recommend this provider! The PT provided great service with a high level of detail and attention the client's needs.

Very professional, overall an awesome experience

After running through pain for close to a year, I decided to go see AJ, in particular, because of his awesome track record with other runners, but also b/c running was causing so much so discomfort in my glute/hamstring, it was not enjoyable anymore.

After running through pain for close to a year, I decided to go see AJ, in particular, because of his awesome track record with other runners, but also b/c running was causing so much so discomfort in my glute/hamstring, it was not enjoyable anymore. I'm elated to say that after two sessions I'm no longer in pain during or after a workout. AJ equips you with the stretches for better mobility so you can help yourself and, for me, the dry needling also aided immensely! AJ doesnt rush through sessions, listens to all concerns and answers questions fully and honestly. Less

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.

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

Best physical therapist I’ve worked with. After the first session I’ve been feeling better. The best part is that he gives you the tools to help yourself. Explains everything and always takes as much time as you need.

I severely sprained my ankle in July. After months of pain and immobility I finally decided to try physical therapy as other things I tried weren't helping. I'm so glad I decided to see AJ at Up and Running.

He spent just over an hour with me, actively listened to all of my concerns, answered all of my questions, did a thorough exam and taught me several exercises to help strengthen my ankle and get mobility back in it. I'm confident AJ will get me back to long distance trail running in no time. He really knows his stuff and is very personable. Less

I only went to see AJ once for a runners knee, and after one visit I have yet to feel the pain again. The hip excercises seem to be working. Also follow him on Instagram if you want need some inspiration for different kinds of callisthentic type workouts. He really cares about getting you back to health rather than taking your money. Thanks AJ.

After months of painful running, I sought diagnosis and treatment with AJ. Right away, he was empathetic and listened at length to my frustrations and worries.

Aj has been great! After 2 visits I am running pain free (after running in pain for almost 2 years)

I’ve worked with AJ for muscle pain following exercise three times now and have had immediate relief. I highly recommend him for both relief and prevention. You will not be disappointed!

I started seeing AJ for a hip flexor issue I felt while running. He was able to identify the root cause of the symptoms and relieved them using dry needling. He also helped me put a plan in place to stay healthy long term

AJ listens very carefully, answers zillions of questions and has a true passion for helping others. I am confident he can help me overcome my issues and be able to run pain free.

AJ is a very professional and knowledgeable Physical Therapist. Throughout the session AJ was engaging and efficient. AJ was also a proponent of patient education and taught me several ways I could incorporate changes in my workouts and everyday routines that would allow me to regain strength and ranges in my shoulder that I had lost.

AJ spends a lot of time getting to know his clients and helping them get back to the activities they love!

AJ is a great guy and cares for his clients!

Completely and thoroughly pleased and impressed with Up and Running PT! Have recommended to numerous individuals. Thank you for helping me.

The key to longevity in running and sports in general is preemptive care for your body. So, when I started to notice some slight pain in my hip I decided to go see AJ for some therapy. He worked with me on joint mobilization, stretching, and dry needling to help relieve some muscle tension and pain. After our session I am feeling great with noticeably less pain. Go check him out, he’s awesome!

I highly recommend AJ as a Physical Therapist. I'm an ultrarunner and thus use my body pretty hard on a week to week basis. 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 as... More

I highly recommend AJ as a Physical Therapist. I'm an ultrarunner and thus use my body pretty hard on a week to week basis. 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

Making a good first impression, AJ’s website was beyond easy to navigate, I was able to book an appointment and even fill out all my forms prior to coming into his office. I also received an email and text reminder of my appointment. His office is centrally located in Fort Collins, very convenient and easy parking.

I also received an email and text reminder of my appointment. His office is centrally located in Fort Collins, very convenient and easy parking. 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.

I’ve struggled with low back issues for years and after one dry needling session with AJ I saw a dramatic improvement. My back feels great! AJ was very thorough in his pre-treatment assessment and extremely knowledgeable in his practice.
