What is the LTAP?
*
The LTAP ™️ includes 5 orthopedic Based assessments that help direct me to better understand where to start my treatment.
*
When I say, I’m trying to understand the “root” cause of your symptoms, I mean it. The LTAP allows me to do just that!
*
That isn’t meant to over-simplify pain because pain is multi-factorial which means there often isn’t just ONE cause, BUT with this assessment tool it helps direct me to the area to focus on FIRST that is causing a protective pattern that isn’t allowing the body to fully heal.
*
As says, “It reveals the area of the body that will result in the greatest global change and facilitate optimal dynamic alignment and self healing capacity of the body.”
*
This assessment tool has truly had a profound impact on how I assess and treat, which has resulted in my patients getting back to what they enjoy most, FASTER!
*
*
If you’re experiencing pain that you just can’t figure out, let’s connect! Comment LTAP to get the conversation started :).

What it REALLY looks like behind the scenes☺️ at Starting Line!
*
A little bit of assessing, a lot of education, and not taking myself too seriously to keep sessions fun!

Something you probably wouldn’t know about my process is is that I am a LTAP Certified Practitioner ( thank you to !). This assessment protocol is how I start all of my sessions to help guide me on where to start! Check back tomorrow to learn more about the LTAP!

*
If you are ready for a different physical therapy experience where you:

At Starting Line, you won’t be discharged just because your pain is gone. It is my goal to provide you with the tools to not only get out of pain but build up a tolerance to loading so that the same pain doesn’t keep sneaking up on you! We can seamlessly transition to in person performance training or online coaching to help you maintain the gains you’ve made in your initial phases of rehab.

It’s a new week which is the perfect time for an overdue intro post!
*
To the new faces here, I’m Danielle, your Relatable Running PT! As a middle of the pack runner, Mom of 3 kids under 5, small business owner of and , I GET IT when you say to yourself “there just isn’t enough time”!
*
I also understand firsthand what it feels like to be:
👟the slow runner
👟the excited runner after hitting a PR
👟the runner nervously preparing for their first marathon
👟the runner navigating stubborn injuries
👟the pregnant runner questioning why I’m even running right now
👟the postpartum runner learning what it feels like to run in a new body
*
Over the years of being on this platform, I’ve learned that the best way for me to show up is to just be REAL about what its like to train when there are a million other moving parts( 👋 fellow I’m looking at you). The good, the bad, the messy in between of figuring out training while parenting, running a household, and working. IT’S A LOT!
*
*
BUT you don’t have to navigate it alone!
*
I want to help you sift through all the running noise so you can find a training routine that FITS YOUR LIFE!
*
You can expect me to share
✔️Practical and relatable training and rehab advice
✔️Easy and sustainable habit shifts you can make to enhance your training
✔️Easy ways to sneak in strength training with a busy schedule
✔️Running Shenanigans while juggling Mom Life
*
I’m so glad you’re here! Let’s tackle running injuries and training TOGETHER with a little less fluff and with a human first approach!
*
Thank you for having me in your running corner!

SPRING RUNNING PSA!
*
I know the warmer temps that are slowly but surely sneaking up in New England make it incredibly tempting to pick up where you left off…

BUT…

If you’ve taken the winter off from running, these are my 3 top recommendations:
1. Ease into it with only 1-2 days/week
2. Keep runs on the shorter side (20-30 mins). There is no shame in following a run/walk plan(ie: 2min run,1 min walk x 10) if it’s been 3+ months off from running. Gradually introducing your cardiovascular and muscular system to the demands of running.
3. Keep up with your strength training! If you haven’t strength trained, take this as your sign to start 😉.
*

If you are looking for more support, send me a DM! Let’s get you running this Spring without any set backs!💪
