In November, I unfortunately tore my hamstring while sprinting. Over the past 6 months, I have been undergoing continuous physical therapy with Jen Mackin at UPANDRUNNING. Thanks to her expertise, dedication, and tailored recovery plan, I am thrilled to say that I am finally back to my normal routine, successfully returning to my regular running and cycling sessions. I couldn't be more satisfied with the care I received. Highly recommend Jen and the entire team!

Jen was really good at helping with both my shoulder and hip pain. The physio helped reduce the pain and she also showed me gym exercises that have helped to prevent the pain from returning.
