134 | Portland, OR with Jessica Dorrington: PT Running FAST in the PNW

What an end of the year treat to have 2:56:02 marathoner and physical therapist (to the running stars!), Jessica Dorrington on the Suite Run Podcast! Here is Jessica's impressive bio in her own words:I have a love for helping people stay active and see the athlete in us all.  My goal is to get every person back to what they love to do.  As a practicing physical therapist in Portland, OR since 2002, I have been honored to be a part of the journey of many athletes. This includes assisting dozens of professional and Olympic athletes and subsequent return to elite performance. I was honored to be asked to lead PT at the World Track and Field Championships.  I take a comprehensive approach to my practice, considering the multidimensional interplay of core, pelvic floor, sports therapy, gait mechanics, and orthopedic considerations to ensure every patient is set up for success. I have extensive credentialing, ensuring advanced competency including as a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist through the American Physical Therapy Association, Certified Manual Physical Therapist, Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner’s Certification, Intrapartum Pelvic Care Training, Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and Post-Partum Corrective Exercise Specialist Certification, Bike Fit Certified, ASTYM certified.  As my accolades display, I am an education junkie who continues to live my life’s passion through over 1200 combined hours of post-graduate clinical education and teaching for other medical providers, physical therapists, and practitioners. My mission is simple: I want to get every patient back to doing what they love to do. When I’m not with family or helping patients, I am out on the trails, road and track practicing what I preach. Friends, you are in for a great conversation and an inspiring jump start to the new year! In the second part of our chat, Jessica shares with us her go-to places to train, dine out, race and more in the great city of Portland.
