Achieve Your Peak Physio

Physical therapy and strength coaching for mountain bikers, from a PT who rides.

Hi, I'm Mikayla. I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy trained at the University of Colorado, a former collegiate runner, and a mountain biker. My job is to help you get out of pain, get strong, and keep riding, through virtual PT and strength coaching available in most U.S. states.

My focus: the spine

Lower back pain on long climbs. Stiffness after a big day out. Pain that keeps coming back no matter how much you stretch. Sound familiar?

Back pain is almost never just a back problem. Usually there's a weak hip, a weak core, or a stiff upper back forcing your spine to carry a load it wasn't built for. So instead of working on the sore spot, I track down what's actually causing it and build that up.

I get it because I've lived it: multiple shoulder surgeries, a hip labral tear, a meniscus tear, a tibial stress fracture. I know how much a stiff shoulder or a weak hip can throw off everything else.

More than back pain

Shoulder, hip, knee, or just want to ride stronger this season? I treat all of it.

Spine care is my specialty, not the only thing I do.​

Here's how we can work together

Strength programs: Delivered through my app and organized by joint or area of focus, so you can go straight to what you need. Pick your level of support, from fully self guided to fully coached, where I'm checking your form and adjusting your loads along the way. This is the move if you're already riding pain free and want to build strength and durability, or if you've had a past injury and want to keep it that way, or build back even stronger.

1:1 virtual rehab and coaching: If you're in pain, working through an injury, or your body just isn't moving right. We'll figure out what's actually driving it, build a plan around your body and your goals, and I'll coach you through it directly. You'll leave with a maintenance strength program. This is the move if you need a real diagnosis, not just a program.

My goal isn't to get you back to baseline and call it done. It's to build you a body that's more durable than before, and teach you how to keep it that way.
