Physical Therapy &
3D Gait Analysis

Cannot speak highly enough of Kristen! Was having issues with my lower legs tightening up when running fast. I tried all the YouTube stuff that gets recommended and the self diagnosis with no help so I made an appointment at In Stride. This is one of the best decisions I’ve made! After a couple visits and working on the cues and exercises I was given I’m now running pain free!

I’ve loved working with Kristen the past few months. She’s got such a breadth of knowledge with respect to PT, helping provide me with direction and insight to get me feeling better. Then, she’s able to build on that PT knowledge with specific-feedback for runners, quick to hook me up to the gait analysis lab to see how it applies to my running to have me feeling healthy, strong, and fast! I cannot recommend Kristen and In Stride highly enough.

Kristen is SO amazing – her gait analysis helped me fix my chronic shin issues and run a 30 minute PR in my half marathon! I have tried countless “fixes” for my shin splints, including other PTs, and Kristen is the only one who was able to truly get to the root the issue. Not to mention I saw results after the first appointment. It is so satisfying to hear Kristen explain the mechanics behind your gait. If you are a runner of any level In Stride is 100% worth the investment.

I’m in my late 50s and fitness is an important part of my life. Once I hit my late 40s I noticed I couldn’t run non-stop anymore because my knees would hurt for days or even weeks afterward, so I transitioned into run/walk intervals with 2-minute run intervals max. My goal was to run 10 minutes continuously without my knees paying the price. The analysis showed that I overstride, so Kristen set me up with a program to help correct it. I followed the program religiously and within 1 month, I participated in a 5k and ran the whole distance without knee pain!

Kristen is awesome! She helped my recovery when I needed it the most. I had experienced some injury as I was training for a triathlon. She is a great listener and really assesses the whole situation to provide the best recommendation for the client. She is very knowledgeable and gives great insights into your gait analysis and puts a good action plan together to succeed. I highly recommend her if you are looking to assess your running technique to either prevent injury, recover from injury, or get better and faster at running.

I had knee pain and I wanted to see someone who would understand a marathon runner and the training it entails. Kristen understood exactly what I was describing to her without question. Our conversation seemed effortless like she was already 3 steps ahead of me. We got my knee pain figured out and did the 3D Gait Analysis and she fixed my horrible running form in one session! She is amazing and I highly recommend her if you are a runner! Now I’m running like a deer and pain-free!!

My body actually held up great. I didn’t have any joint pains or serious muscle issues in the (marathon) race so that was awesome – I think my work with you really helped!

I chose In Stride because Kristen is a runner and specializes in runners. She was incredibly helpful in helping me address the underlying cause of my knee injury. She uses some very cool 3D gait tracking tech that goes beyond watching a video of yourself. Kristen helps you to pick apart the pieces of your running form, set a plan to address those gaps, and re-assess each session. I’m running better than ever and excited to start training for Grandma’s marathon next month! High recommendation.

I worked with Kristen at In Stride and she was able to help take me from a lot of running pain for a half marathon to a relatively pain free full marathon in just a few sessions + a custom workout plan tailored to my needs.

Kristen is just the best. Knowledgeable, down to earth, and encouraging. I highly recommend Kristen and In Stride. Long story short, my first half marathon experience was a disaster. I injured myself while training and limped to the finish line. After seeing Kristen, she helped me redeem myself in a half and full marathon this year. It was a treat to see her cheer for me at mile 18.

Gigantic thank you to Kristen!

Kristen is amazing. Because she is a runner and only works with runners, he offers a very unique and very personal perspective. She is approachable and very easy to work with. I was recovering from an achilles tendon injury and wanted to get aligned before I started training for the London Marathon.

She not only gave me exercises to fix the achilles, but also to better help my overall running form. During my training, I started to get some pain in my hip. Once again, Kristen gave me a few exercises and said even 5% more strength will make a big difference.

I am very happy to report they all worked and my training is going well and I feel so much stronger and more efficient runner.

I would highly recommend Kristen to any runner!!

I have been through physical therapy 5 times to try to address my chronic runners knee, and this has been by far my most productive experience to date. Kristen Gerlach is wonderful. She is focused on helping, fix your problems, not on selling more sessions. I have made very significant improvements to my running form that I never would have thought possible, and received a ton of great insights. I never got from any other PT. Very strongly recommend!
