A Thorough Physical Therapy Evaluation is Where Treatment Begins
Runners can suffer from a variety of injuries and there are numerous reasons why a runner might be experiencing pain. The first thing your physical therapist will do is perform an evaluation. This consists of the following:
- Your past medical history
- Your current complaints
- What makes the problem better and worse
- Any past or present treatment
Then a thorough physical exam is performed including:
- Strength
- Endurance
- Flexibility
- Foot, knee, hip, pelvis mechanics
- Observation and analysis of your running style (gait analysis)
- Examination of your footwear and any orthoses if used
Video Gait Analysis
We will video you from different angles while you are running on our treadmill then re-play it in slow motion on a TV screen in the clinic to review
various mechanics with you.
- Things that are identified and can be improved, controlled, or corrected after video analysis:
- Posture
- Arm swing
- Instability
- Balance
- Stride length
- Cadence
- Otherwise, we match up mechanical abnormalities with weaknesses or
other issues identified with the Initial PT Evaluation and provide you
specific exercises to help correct.
DorsaVi Analysis
- Capture Detailed Movement Analytics such as:
- Ground Reaction Forces
- Initial Peak Acceleration
- Ground contact time
- Speed
- Cadence
- Importance of measuring Symmetry: Runners are always momentarily in a single leg stance so it’s important to understand what is happening on each side individually and then compare overall symmetry.
- Therefore, the DorsaVi sensors also have a module that will measure single limb stability through these functional movements:
- Double leg squat
- Single leg squat
- Single leg hop
We then use this data to highlight abnormal findings in order to:
- Identify injury risks
- Provide insights to treatments
- Guide your rehabilitation
- Track Progress and Improve performance
- Facilitate return to sport decisions

I was a formal college athlete, was spoiled with great therapists, and was extremely nervous after leaving the cacoon of campus. In the real world you get scared that doctors won’t care about you the same way. That’s not the case with Jenny she takes everything serious and you are not just a patient. She a great pt and awesome person. Congrats on your new adventure.

Without a doubt, Jenny is the best Physical Therapist I have ever encountered! She knows her physiology, she knows how to give a message and she listens to her patients. She takes whatever time is necessary to get the job done instead of sticking to a rigid schedule and does a good job of providing exercises to do at home. I heartily recommend her!!

It’s in the name! Jen, Jenny, and Mandy at Resolve Physical Therapy make a great team in providing a solution to your needs. From services at the front desk to the exercise mat this team is knowledgeable and kind. They hold genuine conversations, they are thorough in their assessments, and they are always willing to share a smile because they are passionate about what they do and they care about their clients.There is also a gal named Ruth that offers personal training who operates out of the same facility if you are interested. She fits in very well with the Resolve team. Bottom line is - Go with Resolve you won’t regret it. Ps: if you’re kind to them you may just get offered a yummy treat while you kickback, relax and they apply different massage techniques and electrode stimulation on the area of need. Resolve rocks! #Jen&Jenny

I worked With Jenny for a year, and am now able to be pain free. I had shoulder, hip, and back trouble. Jenny worked with me and taught me the stretches and exercises to keep me able to manage my issues at home. The transition from pain and mobility issues to an active life and more mobility was truly wonderful. I have worked with other Physical Therapists, but the patience, experience, and knowledge that Jenny has really made the difference for me.

My surgeon referred me to Resolve Physical Therapy, after a total knee replacement. I worked with the Therapists there for 4 months and saw steady progress to the point of being fully functional again. Both, Jen and Jenny, are experts in their field and have personally attended knee and hip surgeries to observe and understand the procedure and how it impacts the patient. During my rehab they were in constant contact with my surgeon over my progress. I felt that they listened to me and adjusted every session according to my feedback.Besides all that, they are a pleasure to be around. I will miss working with them.

Resolve is wonderful! I believe the best measure of the quality of a physical therapist is the level of success achieved. Jenny's expertise led to a surprising degree of resolution of my rotator cuff problem. I also applaud both her and Mandy for their kindness and compassion. They explained my home exercises very clearly and listened patiently to any concerns I expressed. The facility is bright, cheerful, and immaculately clean. I highly recommend Resolve PT.

I am finally able to get active again pain free! The staff at Resolve helped me to feel seen, heard and supported. The clinic has become a safe spot for me to come as I am, which is huge if you are facing pain/injury. I always leave my appointments feeling brighter and uplifted. I also prefer the quiet clinic environment. Cannot say enough good stuff about Resolve PT, Jenny and Jen!
