Outcome Program for Runners
This is where you actually get back to running. A structured program built around your goals, your timeline, and the race you're not willing to cancel. Weekly one-on-one sessions, a remote exercise app with direct PT access, and objective milestones so you always know you're moving forward.
Most runners are getting told
to rest. That's not a plan.
Every doctor just told you to stop running. And maybe you tried that. Rested for six weeks, felt a little better, laced up again, and it came right back.That's what happens when the root cause never got addressed.
Running injuries are load problems. The IT band that flares at mile eight, the plantar fascia that's been nagging since February, the hip that catches on every left turn: those are your body telling you something in the chain isn't handling the demand you're putting on it. Rest quiets the signal. It doesn't fix the source.
At be.dynamic, we start with a full movement and load assessment. From there, Tillie builds a return-to-run plan around your actual life your training schedule, your race on the calendar, and the miles you're not willing to give up. You'll know the root cause. You'll have a timeline. And you'll have direct access to your PT between sessions when your long run doesn't go as planned.
You have a race to get back to. We want to help you get there.
Who we work with...
This is for you if you're a runner

Race day is coming and you're not sure you'll make it

You want to run faster, farther, or more consistently
-
You're putting in the miles but not seeing the results

You want to know if your form is working against you

You're training for a goal race and want to do it right

Dr. Tillie Salazar,
PT, DPT, DN Cert, RunDNA Certified Endurance Running Coach, RunDNA Level 1 & 2 Certified Running Gait Analyst
Tillie is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a runner and lifter herself, and that combination shapes everything about how she works. She earned her DPT from South College in Knoxville. She's a RunDNA Certified Endurance Running Coach and a RunDNA Level 1 and Level 2 Certified Running Gait Analyst, which means she's trained specifically to break down how you run, not just guess at it. She's also certified in dry needling through the Dry Needling Institute, which she uses often with runners carrying tight calves, stubborn hip flexors, or a hamstring that won't fully release no matter how much they stretch it.
Before PT, Tillie played collegiate soccer. Years of training, competing, and getting hurt taught her something most providers never learn firsthand, which is that an athlete doesn't want to be told to rest and hope for the best. They want a real answer and a real plan back to what they love. That's the lens she brings to every runner and lifter who walks into HQ.
Tillie leads our running and lower body program at be.dynamic. She screens gait, tests hip and glute strength, and looks at load patterns most people have never had assessed in their life, even after years of running. She also works closely with clients training in the gym, coaching barbell mechanics and squat and hinge patterns so strength training builds you up instead of feeding the same injury on repeat.
Outside HQ, Tillie is still doing the things she coaches. She's out running, she's under the bar, she's on her bike, and she's living the same active life she helps her clients get back to.
If your training has stalled because of an injury that keeps circling back, Tillie is who you want in your corner. We want to help you do more of what you love.
