If you’re an injured runner, cyclist, or endurance athlete, you’ve probably heard it all: “Just rest.” “Try new shoes.” “Maybe it’s time to stop running.”
At Redefine PT & Performance, I take a different approach—one that respects your goals, your identity as an athlete, and your desire to keep moving forward.
🏃♂️ Physical Therapy: Virtual and in-person options. Get to the root of your injury and build a clear plan to return to training—stronger and more resilient than before.
🎥 Running Gait Analysis: High-tech gait analysis using Runeasi wearable sensors + slow-motion video. Ideal for injured runners, performance seekers, or those returning from time off.
🧠 Coaching: Whether you’re rebuilding after injury or chasing a PR, I offer individualized coaching through TrainingPeaks, grounded in science and real-world experience.
✅ Athlete-Centered Approach: You won’t be told to “just stop running.” I meet you where you are, and help you keep training through injury, when appropriate.
✅ Doctor of Physical Therapy + Endurance Athlete: You’re working with someone who lives and breathes this sport—and knows what it takes to return stronger.
✅ Hybrid Care Model: In-person and virtual options make it easy to stay on track, no matter where you live.ng’s worse than being hurt or underperforming.

Jimmy has been instrumental in getting me back to consistent training. His knowledge and experience as an athlete and practitoner are what I have been looking for for years. I would highly recommend Jimmy to anyone who wants to break the injury cycle and get back to health.
Jimmy, as a true mountain athlete himself, understood both the anxiety I was feeling and why a full recovery meant everything. Jimmy’s sincere enthusiasm, heartfelt care, and years of PT experience were all brought to bear on me and my recovery. That made all the difference.
Jimmy was a huge help getting me back to work after knee surgery. As a mountain guide, it was important for me to find an excellent PT. With Jimmy’s help, I recovered fast and surpassed my expectations as well as my surgeon’s expectations. I would recommend without hesitation.
After helping me with a few injuries, Jimmy worked with me to increase my training volume. I was able to hit running milestones that I thought were impossible. Having a physical therapist and coach that understands endurance training and injury prevention is an invaluable skill set!
