My 12-year old son was having some issues with his running due to pain around in his back and hips. In just a couple of appointments Sean was able to isolate the issues and suggest stretches and exercises to reduce his pain and help him return to his normal gait. Sean is a great PT and Jonah always looked forward to his appointments.

Sean knows his stuff and is well-equipped to coach the art of running. He approaches running issues and technique from a wholistic, studied, and understandable frame. I highly recommend the Run Potential practice.

Sean is amazing at what he does. I was dealing with right ankle/heel pain for about 6-8 months after one of my races and pain would just not go away. I thought I had plantar fasciitis and did all sorts of exercises that’s related to that and nothing helped. I wasn’t able to train at my full capacity for so long and ended up reaching out to Sean. After three sessions we got things figured out and got to the bottom of my issue. Running not having any pain is amazing. Could not be happier.

Highly recommend working with Run Potential! Sean is truly the best and knows exactly what to recommend to improve your form and help you heal from any injuries you may have. As a new runner, I quickly suffered a knee injury as I was training for my first half marathon. After a little while of seeing a different PT who ran out of ideas for my treatment plan, I came to see Sean. When I started with Sean, I couldn’t even get through a 2 mile run because of the pain. After just a couple sessions, I was already seeing huge improvements in my pain levels, and now not even 2 months after my initial eval, I’m running pain free for hours on end. Sean is super knowledgeable and fun to work with. 100% worth the investment - just do it, you won’t be sorry!

It’s hard to know where to start, Sean has been an instrumental blessing in recovering from a devastating injury. On 11/6/23 I went out for an easy run in Garden of the Gods. I tripped going downhill and broke my ankle, EMS found me with my foot pointing in the wrong direction. I suffered a pilon/trimalleolar fracture (the tibia was ground into my foot, leaving bone crumbles inside the joint, along with a broken fibula.) I needed 2 metal plates and 12 screws, then nearly 3 months of not walking. I had just done the Pike’s Peak Ascent 6 weeks prior and remembered a video Sean had posted, I gave him a call. His first question was “If you could do anything, what would it be?” I laughed because I wanted to do the Pike’s Peak Marathon, Sean said “How about just the Ascent?” I think I nearly fell over. This gave me hope, not of just running again, but running in the mountains that I love!!! Sean has helped me through each phase of recovery, with his expertise and compassion. He helped me believe when I couldn’t see it for myself, but most of all he gave me hope when I was in a very painful, dark place. Sean has an amazing ability to thoroughly assess and explain what is needed. Each visit I would continue to progress from limping with a cane, to walking, to jogging and finally running!!!! He gave me the tools to succeed, but I had to put in the work. This has been a life changing injury, I’m so grateful that I found Sean. He is truly an exceptional PT, but also a genuinely kind person who wants to see you succeed. I am right on track to run the Ascent 9/21/24, just 10 months later! This wouldn’t have been possible without Sean’s incredible ability, dedication and guidance.

I highly recommend Sean at Run Potential.  I've been a client since January 2024 for physical therapy sessions and run coaching. The twice-per-month PT sessions consist of a discussion about my recent workouts and pain/injuries followed by a guided workout.  The workout includes all of the exercises that Sean will assign over the following weeks.  He gives great instruction on how to do the exercises properly and how/why the exercises will benefit me.  The sessions are great because I bring up minor injuries and get Sean's feedback before they get worse. The run coaching includes a custom, weekly workout plan and text/email check-ins.  Sean builds the plan in a shared Google Docs and I update it with my distance, time, heart rate, etc. after workouts, so we can jointly track my progress.  He tweaks the plan on-the-fly as needed and had great trail recommendations. By following Sean's PT and running plans, I've been able to address minor injuries, avoid new injuries(!), and significantly improve my running and mountain biking endurance.  He gives practical, science-based advice that is directly responsible for overcoming calf strains, patellar tendonitis, etc.  I wouldn't have been able to complete two trail marathons without him.

Sean has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I came to him with persistent pain in my ankle due to running. Sean diagnosed the injury as being a combination of nerve and soft tissue related. During the treatments, he provided various tools for both dealing with the symptoms themselves and treating the underlying issues. At the same time, he helped me to significantly improve my running form, which both increases my efficiency (and speed!) as well as reduce the wear and tear on ankle. I cannot recommend Sean highly enough!

If you have running-related pain, I highly recommend Sean and Run Potential. I had gone to numerous physical therapists before because of pain in my quad with no luck. Sean performed an incredibly thorough initial assessment (including actually watching me run – a first for any physical therapist I’ve gone to). I appreciated his clear explanations for why he had me make certain changes to my running form and the goals of any exercises he gave me to do in between sessions. If an exercise he gave me wasn’t having an impact, he quickly adjusted and explained his rationale. Since my sessions with Sean, I’ve been able to increase my mileage and speed and stay injury free.
