CrossFit tests more than your fitness.
One-on-one CrossFit physical therapy for shoulder pain, low back pain, knee pain, Achilles issues, and other training injuries. We help you keep training when it is appropriate, and we build you back to the lifts, skills, and workouts you want.
CrossFit tests how much you want it. The early mornings, the failed lifts, the workouts that humbled you before they built you. You show up anyway.
But when the shoulder starts barking on every overhead, the low back locks up after deadlifts, or the knee pain makes every squat a negotiation, the grind starts working against you.
Our goal isn't simply to get you out of pain. It is to get you back to the bar.
Overhead pressing, snatches, overhead squats, pull-ups, and muscle-ups put extraordinary demand on the shoulder. Rotator cuff irritation and shoulder impingement are among the most common complaints in CrossFit athletes. They almost always come from a mobility restriction, a motor control breakdown, or programming load that exceeded tissue capacity.
Read the blog post about Shoulder impingement and rotator cuffDeadlifts, cleans, snatches, GHD sit-ups, and toes-to-bar all create significant spinal load. Low back pain in CrossFit athletes is rarely a structural emergency. It most often comes from a hip mobility restriction, posterior chain weakness, or a movement pattern that needs correction under load.

Box jumps, double unders, running, and wall balls all need significant Achilles tendon capacity. Achilles tendinopathy and ankle mobility restrictions are often overlooked as contributors to knee, hip, and low back problems in CrossFit athletes.

CrossFit is not just a workout. It is a sport with real demands, real movement standards, and a real competitive culture. To treat a CrossFit athlete, you must understand what a missed lift costs and what a training cycle looks like.
The personalized exercises and guidance she provided have made a tremendous difference in both how I feel and how I function day-to-day. Thanks to her support, I have less pain, greater strength, and more confidence in my movement.
Dr Kiley was very knowledgeable and listened to my concerns about my injury. I'm big into CrossFit and I had injured my groin muscle and needed a plan on how to strengthen it so it wouldn't keep effecting my workouts. She has me back on track and feel better so I can get back at it.
From the very first appointment, she made me feel comfortable, listened to, and genuinely cared about helping me feel better and not just rushing me through a session. She takes the time to explain everything in a way that actually makes sense, and you can tell she's knowledgeable and passionate about what she does.
