Here’s an article I recently wrote breaking down some things you can do to help make some of your weaknesses your strengths!

it’s been fun riding more lately!

This week my amazing team and I officially partnered with to become their official providers! It all started because .elizabeth.dpt is a bada** PT. This partnership is exciting and special for a few reasons.

➡️Having a great coach in your corner is so important for every athlete. We work with coaches and other health care professionals all the time so we know the difference between good and great coaches. Devon and Robert are great coaches. The first time I called Robert to discuss a mutual client I was blown away by his knowledge, commitment to the athlete, caring and skill. When I met Devon I felt the same. I knew these coaches were special. We are beyond excited to help there athletes stay healthy and keep racing.

➡️Most people probably don’t know that before my cardiac diagnosis I was training for a half Ironman, but never got to do it. I had already run 13 marathons, 50+ half’s, multiple 300 mile relays races over 24 hours and then started with sprint and Olympic triathlon races. I thought an Ironman was in my future, but it wasn’t. So instead I learned how to do Bikefit, read everything I could, studied the biomechanics and intricacies of what your body goes through during Triathlon. I combined my experience with clinical knowledge and the research so I could better treat triathletes like I could runners. I even built a whole 16 week course I taught in the Emory DPT program for several years about runners and triathletes ❤️ I feel like this partnership is bringing me back full circle to something I thought was lost when I was told I could no longer race or train.

Looking forward to many years of shared victories for our clients!!!

Episode 19 of the Interdisciplinary Case Miles Podcast is live 👟🦴

Navicular bone stress injuries are not straight forward and can be so frustrating. This episode follows a high school track athlete with a navicular bone stress injury that just wouldn’t fully heal. She rested. Rehabbing helped temporarily. Symptoms kept coming back.

What made this case complicated wasn’t just the injury itself.

We discuss:
• Why navicular injuries are considered high-risk bone stress injuries
• How low energy availability can impact healing
• The role of biomechanics, strength, and landing strategy
• Why fear and loss of confidence can become part of recovery
• Why persistent foot pain deserves a deeper look

Healing often requires looking at the whole athlete — training load, fueling, mechanics, nervous system, confidence, and support systems.

Featuring:
▫️ Dr. Sara Reiser MD, FAAPMR, CAQSM, LMT
▫️ Kelsey Pontius RD, CSSD
▫️ Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards PT, DPT, OCS

If you work with runners, coach athletes, parent athletes, or are navigating a long recovery yourself, this conversation matters.

This article captures the work I’ve been doing over the last ten+ years in Running Medicine and in Healthcare. I have been working non stop in the Atlanta area and around the country. Of course at no point in the last ten+ years have I done any of this alone. It’s has been, and always will be a team effort to improve running medicine and healthcare for athletes. So much coffee and tea has been consumed during all the meetings and working sessions to make what we have today available.

➡️I remember sitting down with Eric Heintz several years ago dreaming about what we could accomplish. He has been one of Precision’s biggest supporters. I am so grateful for the trust he put in us when brining Precision on to help the ATC elites.

➡️Dr.Sara Raiser worked endlessly behind the scenes to get the word out about what we were doing at Precision and how we were different. Without Sara Precision wouldn’t be what it is today.

➡️ and of course my incredible team Kaye and my talented, passionate PTs. .pace .elizabeth.dpt - They are the backbone and soul of this clinic.

I truly believe that we would not be where we are today if it were not for all of the collaboration we are able to do with other healthcare providers, coaches, the community and our athletes/patients. Thank you Atlanta for continuing to support this small but mighty running clinic and allowing us to challenge the norm so we can be better for you.

Episode 18 of Interdisciplinary Case Miles breaks down how ankle sprains turn into bigger problems when you ignore them.

Every time you roll your ankle and move on, you lose a little stability. Over time that changes how you move—and your hip and back end up taking the hit.

If you’ve ever said “it’s just my ankle,” this one’s for you.

We cover:
– Why stability > rest
– How the foot impacts everything above it
– What actually helps you heal (strength, loading, fueling)

You know me I got home from this crazy weekend treating runners and totally relaxed. Just kidding I wrote an article about the medical tent in -take a look if you want to know more about the other side of the finish line!

Boston Marathon Weekend 🤍

Just got back from a whirlwind few days in Boston (Friday → Monday night), and I’m still processing how much I love being in this space.

Friday + Saturday were with our Atlanta Track Club Elite athletes—treating before and after the one mile invitational. I love this environment: high-level performance, small details that matter, and athletes who care deeply about their craft. Some moments are breaking down biomechanics and fine-tuning performance… and some are tying shoes, making sure chips are on, and taking care of the little things. It’s not always glamorous, but it all counts.

Then Monday…Marathon Monday.

30,000 runners.
Nearly 10,000 volunteers.
And a medical operation that is truly world class.

It was also just really fun to cheer on so many athletes who are part of the family, see some of my former athletes, and connect with so many colleagues throughout the weekend. I even got to see my own former runner partners, one of my best friends from high school and college which always makes Boston feel a little extra special. I love this city.

From the preparation leading into the race, to the race-day logistics, to the way everyone works together seamlessly it’s hard to fully capture how impressive it is unless you’ve seen it up close.

Last year I was in the heat deck treating heat illness.
This year I was in the elite medical tent.

Different role, same takeaway: this is what it looks like when medicine, performance, and teamwork come together at the highest level.

Grateful to be part of it. Grateful to learn from it. And really grateful to do work I love alongside people who care this much.

Already looking forward to next year.

Best sighting of the day! I should’ve known we’d find each other on the way to get coffee. Good luck today .pace ❤️👟

Made it to Boston for Marathon weekend. I love coming back every year to one of my favorite cities. I used to run the race but now I get to come be a part of the race in another way, helping our athletes and working in the finish line medical tent on marathon Monday!

Spent this afternoon helping some of our team get ready for the Invitational Mile! Looking forward to cheering them on in the morning! They race at 11:50.
