Get Back Out There.
Stay Out There.
Boise's Specialty Physical Therapy Clinic for Runners, Cyclists, and Motivated Adults Who Want to Conquer Pain and Reach Their Goals.
Every Comeback Starts with a First Step.
Injuries don’t just slow you down — they make you question if you’ll ever get back to where you were. But every comeback story starts the same way: with one step in the right direction. At Fit & Function Therapy, we specialize in helping runners, cyclists, and active adults get back on track and reach new personal bests. No matter what your skill level is, our goal is to get you back to doing what you love with confidence, not caution.
Our 3 Steps To Get You Running Or Riding Pain-Free
1. Discover What’s Holding You Back
Through a deep-dive performance assessment, we uncover the hidden imbalances, weaknesses, or inefficient movement patterns keeping you from running or riding pain-free. Our process goes beyond basic evaluations with running gait analysis, cycling assessments, and hands-on testing that leaves no stone unturned.
2. Build Strength & Resilience
Once we know what's holding you back, we create a plan to retrain your body for stronger, more efficient movement. Our focus is on long-term solutions — strengthening weak links, improving mobility, and optimizing how you move. From hands-on techniques to strength work, we focus on building a better runner or cyclist — not just a pain-free one.
3. Achieve Your Next Breakthrough
Pain-free is just the beginning. Our goal is to help you achieve goals you never thought possible, whether that means running faster, riding longer, or feeling more confident in your abilities. We offer ongoing guidance through our Momentum Continuity Program to keep you progressing beyond the finish line.
The System Is Broken
But You Don't Have To Be
The traditional healthcare system wasn’t built for people like you.
It was built for “patients,” not athletes.
If you’ve been injured before, you know how it goes.
You call for help and hear, “We can see you in 3 weeks.”
When you finally get in, you spend 10 rushed minutes with a provider who barely listens.
They tell you to “just rest it” or “take a break from running”, and hand you a list of generic exercises you could have Googled.
No clear plan. No real solutions. Just frustration.
And here’s the kicker:
Most healthcare providers are generalists, not specialists.
They treat back pain one hour, then shoulder pain the next.
They don’t understand the unique demands of running, cycling, or endurance sports.
They don’t know how much it hurts to stop moving when your identity is tied to your sport.
This Is Why We Built
Fit & Function Therapy Solutions
We’re not generalists.
We’re runners. We’re cyclists. We’re athletes.
We understand that being told to “rest” feels like giving up.
We know that “stop running for 6 weeks” is the last thing you want to hear.
At Fit & Function, we do things differently:
- We don’t just treat pain — we treat runners and cyclists.
- You get 1-on-1 attention with a running and cycling specialist — not a generalist.
- We never tell you to “just rest it” and hope for the best.
- You get a plan that’s built for your sport, your body, and your goals.
When you work with us, there’s no guesswork. No generic advice. No hoping for the best.
Just a clear, personalized path to get you running, riding, and performing at a higher level than before.
Don’t settle for the system. Choose better. Choose Fit & Function.

Get To Know
Dr. Maria Leibler
Hi! I’m Dr. Maria Leibler, a manually trained physical therapist and running rehabilitation specialist. Running is more than my hobby; it’s at the core of my professional life as a Doctor of Physical Therapy. My journey with running began at just five years old and has taken me through a fulfilling career path that intertwines my passion for the sport with a deep commitment to health and wellness.
I began my academic pursuit at the University of Idaho, where I combined my love for sports with an interest in language, earning a Bachelor of Science in Sports Science with a minor in Spanish. Eager to delve deeper into the mechanics of the human body and how it heals, I pursued and obtained my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine. Here, I also honed my skills in manual therapy, achieving a certification that allows me to provide targeted, hands-on care to address and resolve the complex challenges runners face.
