Testimonials
★★★★★
As a running expert and coach, I feel completely confident sending my athletes to The Gait Lab. It can be challenging to find PTs who really know what they are doing with athletes and are willing to take a collaborative, full team approach to support athletes. Laura is the real deal and I wish that my athletes in every single state/all over the country could see her!!

Love the Gait Lab! Was having some major hip issues preventing me from running and skate skiing. Laura helped me through all of that and I just finished the PC Trail Series Half Marathon! Can't recommend The Gait Lab enough.
— Tim Akers
"Meeting with Laura is a highlight of every month. She listens, supports, and helps me train smarter—physically and mentally. That’s why I was able to finish my collegiate career strong and build a model I’ll use for life."

Highly recommend The Gait Lab! Laura is a brilliant PT. She identifies the root cause of issues and develops a plan to address them and build long term, sustainable running health. Her insights and treatment have also improved many aspects of my running form and efficiency.

Laura is fantastic! I have been working with her for a couple years on a variety of gait issues with a side of coaching/race planning. Every time I see her I take something new away that helps my running form. She is thorough and clearly has a great basis of knowledge to draw from. Definitely recommend going to the Gait Lab for any of your running needs!
