What Boise's Runners, Cyclists & Active Community Say About Working With Us
“I’d been burned in the past by medical professionals…”
This runner spent over 5 months battling stubborn hamstring pain. She rested, stopped running, tried rolling, a massage gun, even exercises from another PT. No matter what she did, the pain always came back the moment she tried to run again.
She came to us with some hesitation — after being burned by medical advice in the past, she worried she’d just hear the same old “rest and wait” line.
An Investment In Her Health That Paid Off
After six weeks off from running with a bone stress injury, this Boise athlete came to us searching for answers. She had already put in the rest time but still didn’t feel confident returning to her sport. What she found here was a plan that gave her confidence, guidance, and real progress.
For her, the time and money spent on physical therapy weren’t a burden — they were an investment. She left knowing it was worth every step, every session, and every ounce of effort to get back to the activities she loves.

“It was very clear to me by the end of the first session that this was going to be different…”
After struggling with low back pain and going through three rounds of traditional PT without lasting relief, this Boise cyclist found his answer at Fit & Function Therapy Solutions.
“I’m just happy. I can actually do the thing that I missed for a literal year…”
After being unable to run for a year due to persistent lower leg pain, this Boise runner felt stuck in a vicious cycle. She had already tried two rounds of PT without success.
At Fit & Function Therapy Solutions, she finally found a tailored, strategic plan that gave her the confidence to move forward—and now she’s back to doing the thing she missed most: running.

“I honestly didn’t think I was going to get healed… “
She spent months battling hamstring pain that never fully went away. She tried another PT, rested, stretched, did everything she could think of — but every time she tried to run again, the pain came right back.
She came to us skeptical. Why should this time be any different?
What she found was custom guidance, problem-solving, and a plan that actually worked. Today, she’s running pain-free again — and feeling better than she has in a long time.
“I thought I’d just get a quick look… instead I ran a mile and learned more than I ever expected.”
This Boise runner had only ever experienced basic gait checks at a shoe store. She wanted a true running gait analysis — real data, real running, real coaching.
What she got was much more than video and screenshots. She learned how her body moves, why her form is unique to her, and how to make meaningful changes without chasing a “perfect” running style.
Her takeaway? There’s no one right way to run — just the way that helps you feel strong, efficient, and confident.

“The initial consultation gave me answers on day one.”
He was dealing with ankle mobility limits, pain after runs and hikes, and frustration with providers who didn’t feel like the right fit. He wanted expertise, real explanations, and a plan that made sense.
From the very first session, he saw the difference. Clear reasoning, a scientific approach, hands-on problem-solving, and exercises that immediately helped him move better.
For him, that first visit wasn’t a gamble — it was the start of getting his active lifestyle back.
“I was afraid it would be a waste of money… and that I’d get another cookie-cutter plan.”
She came in with chronic shin splints that showed up every time she ran — and even made walking uncomfortable. After trying chiropractic care and YouTube exercises, nothing felt specific to her situation. She kept leaving appointments without direction, without clarity… and without results.
What she needed wasn’t more generic advice. She needed a real plan.

“I didn’t know what to expect or if it would even be helpful.”
She came in unsure what was causing her pain—and unsure whether physical therapy was even the right next step. Like many runners, she wanted a way to work through the problem by building strength and improving how her body functioned, not just temporary fixes.
What she found was a thorough, personalized approach tailored to where she was starting and where she wanted to be. Today, she’s healed, running again, and approaching her training with a clearer plan and more confidence.
“I’ve never had a physical therapist test every single muscle to figure out what was wrong.”
She came in with knee and hip pain that was keeping her off the trails. She’d seen other providers before, but nothing ever felt this thorough or this specific to her as a runner. Within her first session, she already knew this was different.
Three weeks in, she had less pain, more strength, and a completely new understanding of what her body actually needs. Now she’s back to running and strength training with a plan that actually fits her.

“After two rounds of physical therapy, I had pretty much given up on running without pain.”
She spent 10 years in the military, and after getting out, hip bursitis took running off the table. Cortisone shots, two rounds of traditional PT, nothing worked. The problem was that nobody was treating her like a runner.
At Fit & Function, that changed. Her hip no longer bothers her. She runs pain-free in the morning, feels healthier and less stressed, and finally has the confidence to try new things physically again.
“I had been to physical therapy before, but it never changed my long-term approach to running.”
She came in with upper hamstring pain that had been nagging her for over a decade, including a torn hamstring from a fall a few years back. Previous PT gave her exercises that helped temporarily but never addressed the bigger picture.
What changed at Fit & Function wasn’t just the pain. It was her entire approach to training. She learned to embrace recovery weeks, stopped over-training, and can now see the difference in her Strava data. She’s already sending everyone she knows here.
