Mobile Physical Therapy
In-person appointments in the place of your choice.
This takes you out of the 4 walls of medical office and into the environment where you are comfortable in, whether it is your home, your gym or outside on running or ski trails. We will assess your needs and your goals into a great detail and provide a roadmap to your recovery and desired level of activity and performance.
Areas Served:
- Anchorage
- Eagle River
- Girdwood (and anything in-between).
- Please call us if you need care in the Mat-Su Valley.
What Can You Expect? How Does The Process Work?
- If you are not sure if this is for you, schedule a free online or phone discovery visit. We will get to know you better (and you will get to know us better), discuss your goals, and suggest the best approach to solve your problem.
- Schedule a physical therapy appointment.
- Physical therapist will meet with you at a place of your choice (within Anchorage, Eagle River, Girdwood). He or she will take your detailed musculoskeletal and activity history, assess your mobility, movement patterns and equipment (if needed), and establish the diagnosis as well as suggest plan of care.
- We will suggest home care, exercises and activity progression to reach your goals as well as any interventions (manual therapy, modalities) that will be helpful to get you closer to your goals.
- If you wish, we will follow up with you through email, between your appointments.
- If you feel that you would like to save time and be seen via Telehealth, we can do that.

A Message from us at Runners’ Edge Alaska: Finding Opportunity During the Corona Virus Outbreak...
With any situation (not just global pandemics) we always have a CHOICE in the way that we react. We can hunker down and stress out about things that are completely out of our control, or we can look for opportunities that the situation creates.
The truth is that back, neck, shoulder, and knee pain don’t stop during pandemics. Rather than feed into the fear and panic created on social media and the news, we’ve chosen to adapt.
We’ve decided to help our community TAKE ADVANTAGE of the forced time at home by making our programs digital. Now is your opportunity to work directly with our specialists to create an at-home program specifically designed to keep you active, strong, and doing what you love.
