AJ Cohen, PT, DPT - UP AND RUNNING PHYSICAL THERAPY, LLC

I am a triathlete who came to the sport because I was constantly injured from running. For the past 12 years I have struggled with knee pain related to IT band problems. I have seen many different physical therapists to try and find relief. Sometimes the pain would get better, but it would never really go away…and I always had to run with knee straps. AJ was able to quickly identify the problem and gave me useful exercises to strengthen areas that are weaker. He helped me make minor changes to my running that have had such a tremendous outcome. I am now able to run pain-free and without straps!! I am beyond grateful to AJ and highly recommend him to anyone struggling with persistent injuries. Thanks to AJ I was able to compete in a triathlon last weekend without using straps to run for the first time ever. Not only did a feel great during the triathlon, I didn’t have to deal with pain after the race. (I also cut off over a minute from my T2 time not having to put knee straps on. That’s for any triathletes out there. ???? I am SO excited!! I still have work to do, but I cannot believe how much AJ has helped in such a short period of time. Truly AMAZING!!!

AJ is a great PT to work with–and my wife is Physical Therapist as well, so I know a couple things I had an issue with my foot/calf, and AJ quickly diagnosed the issue. He offered helpful exercises that I could do while maintaining my training plan for a trail ultramarathon. It’s great to address the root problem rather than just masking the symptoms. I have no doubt I will utilize his services again, specifically with strength training, dry needling, and/or run coaching. (Hopefully no more injuries for awhile though!) If you are a runner or just an active/adventurous person, I highly recommend Up and Running Physical Therapy.

Had some persistent pain that I wasn’t able to get rid of on my own. AJ came highly recommended from the local running community. He worked hard to make sure that I understood the “why” behind the process and helped ensure that the journey was laid out in a straightforward way. I very much appreciated how AJ worked with me to address my goals and make sure I felt supported through the rehab process. I also left feeling like I have the tools to prevent recurrence and be a stronger athlete.
