Gait analysis is more than just watching you run. We examine how you move to identify muscle imbalances, technique issues, and injury risks hiding in your stride.
Then we create an individualized treatment plan that addresses the real problem—so you can return to running stronger, faster, and more efficiently than before.

“I am now stronger than before I initially started with my training last year and am back to running.”
I just wish I started going sooner! I was training for my first ultra when I ended up with a stress fracture in my femur. I am now stronger than before I initially started with my training last year and am back to running. I've been working with both Josh and Katie in my return-to-run program. They have both offered a shoulder to cry on when it got challenging and I cannot thank them enough for being so encouraging. You're getting great training, but you're also getting a truly supportive community at Tundra. They're the best!

— Ultrarunner“She accurately diagnosed my gluteal tendinopathy and provided tailored physical therapy. I’m back to running and feeling wonderful!”
I came to her with nagging hip pain from running, and she helped diagnose a femur stress fracture. I honestly thought I’d never return to running or even live pain free in that hip, I’d gotten so used to the pain, but she helped me rehab to the point of pain free running. She is exceptional at immediately pin pointing small imbalances and weaknesses and creating a plan to address them. I could not more highly recommend Amanda for any sort of PT treatment but in particular if you have a running related injury, this is WHO you need to see.

— Trail Runner“I worked with Josh to address knee pain that was limiting my training sessions. Josh was attentive to my concerns, and established a strength program to get me back on the course pain free.”
During my training for Boulder Ironman 70.3, I worked with Josh to address knee pain that was limiting my training sessions. Josh was attentive to my concerns, and established a strength program to get me back on the course pain free. I honestly think that this strength program helped me PR in multiple sections of the race. Im excited to continue working with Tundra, and set more PR’s in the future!
