What RunRocket PT Clients Are Saying

You work magic and show me over and over again when I think I am broke or something is horribly wrong that it is fixable. Pain and suffering does not need to be prolonged. There is always a solution or options to get relief and get me back up and running, sometimes literally.

— Anonymous

Irina I would not be where I’m at today, this strong, after those horrible injuries, w/o your expertise & loving care, for real...I am eternally grateful! (From bedbound horrific back pain from severe muscle strain, & after nasty heel bone spur, to today, just miraculous!)”

— Shelly Reyes

Irina worked on my injured hip and I felt significantly better in one session. I can’t recommend her enough for a much speedier outcome than a typical physical therapist.

— Laura Zarrinn

Irina worked on my movement dysfunctions and muscle imbalances, from head to toe. Some PTs will mainly work on the body part giving you the most symptoms, but Irina will try to see what else is speaking to you and why.

— Anonymous

I started working with Irina after being diagnosed with a stress fracture. Her expertise and assessment allowed her to build a rehab plan that was manageable and very effective in allowing me to return to all my regular activities. She encouraged me to continue to keep moving while following the custom exercise and stretching plan that she developed for me and that was key to healing and gaining strength. I would highly recommend RunRocket for all of your PT and

training needs.
