Dr. Kate James is awesome at what she does! I am a runner and have a fondness for the ultra distances but my body doesn't always adapt like I wish it would to the training load or my race schedule.I specifically went to see Dr. James because I know that she knows runners and would work with me instead of suggesting I just stop running.
I'm grateful to have found someone who will listen to me and work with me to help me achieve my goals, she really is the best at what she does! -

Dr. Kate James listens and works with her clients on a manageable recovery plan! As a 30 year runner I was experiencing pain I had never had before, she was able to diagnose and give me steps to work through the pain. 8 weeks later I am pain free and tackling strengthening and ways to prevent pain/injury.
Seeing her was the best thing I have done for myself and my running! The run analysis was eye opening. Dr. James knew exactly what and how I can be a more efficient and well balanced runner.
