OPEN

to any athlete, beginner to professional, ultra runner to sprint triathlete

I had the privilege of working with Kevin, whose exceptional knowledge in athletic training has been instrumental in my recovery and success. I initially came to Kevin with an achilles injury, but he quickly identified that the root issue was with my calf. Through a detailed and insightful process, Kevin not only guided me through recovery but also taught me about strengthening my muscles to prevent future injuries. His expertise has played a significant role in my collegiate running achievements.

Physical Therapy

In-person physical therapy services available at Apex PWR in Tigard, OR.

coaching

Coaching services available for single- and multi-sport athletes. All abilities are welcome. In addition to your daily sport specific workouts, coaching includes strength training and nutrition planning.

What you can expect

Weekly phone or video call

A key and very important aspect to my coaching style is frequent communication. Plan to have a weekly call to check in, discuss the past week, the upcoming week, any questions, comments or concerns you may have. Available by text throughout the week as well.

Individualized training, strength and rehab plans

As a physical therapist and long time endurance coach, it’s my belief that every single athlete is different and has different needs. Training plans will be completely individualized to best suit your goals. Physical therapy rehab exercises may be prescribed as needed.

Collaboration and compassion between athlete and coach

Injury can be an emotional journey. Compassion and understanding toward athletes is just as important as the training.

Training scheduled around your life not the other way around

All training plans are structured around the athletes daily schedule. Have a family trip to Hawaii? No problem, we’ll discuss it and prescribe training that is not a stressor allowing you to still enjoy life outside of sport without worries.

Training to promote longevity, performance, and enjoyment

In the end, sport is a choice. Therefore we firmly believe that all training plans should be focused on enjoyment, longevity, and performance. If you’re not feeling happy in your training, we’ll discuss it and figure out a plan to move forward back towards enjoyment.

Coach with a competent understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and footwear

As a physical therapist, I have an extensive understanding of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. I take a special interest in footwear and am an avid consumer of new research, always learning new knowledge that can be applied to physical therapy or the coaching practice.

Lactate Testing

A forefront of science in training.

Lactate testing measures the amount of lactate (a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism) in the blood, which can help assess exercise intensity, endurance capacity, and metabolic thresholds. Using a portable lactate meter, we use a small amount of blood to measure the lactate levels in the blood. We are able to determine ones Lactate threshold (LT), which is the intensity at which lactate starts to accumulate faster than the body can clear it, often indicating the maximum sustainable effort for endurance athletes. We are able to identify each athlete's lactate threshold, and can create tailored training zones (easy, moderate, threshold, and VO2 max efforts) to maximize progress in both aerobic and anaerobic systems. This helps athletes train smarter, not harder.

VO2 Max Testing

A marker of an athlete's aerobic endurance.

VO2 max testing measures the maximum amount of oxygen an athlete can utilize during intense exercise. It’s considered one of the best indicators of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. The test will take place on a treadmill with the athlete wearing a face mask connected to a machine that measures the amount of oxygen inhaled and amount of carbon dioxide exhaled.The test will continue with progressive increases in intensity (either speed or resistance) until the athlete reaches exhaustion or is unable to maintain the effort. This maximal effort reflects the athlete's aerobic capacity.

Strength Training

Developing overall resilience and improved economy

Strength training is crucial for endurance athletes as it improves joint stability, muscle balance, and overall resilience. We can improve neuromuscular efficiency, allowing athletes to use less energy for the same output. This means improved running economy, or cycling efficiency, enabling athletes to maintain performance longer without fatiguing. Plyometric and strength exercises develop fast-twitch muscle fibers, which help improve an athletes ability to generate power and accelerate when needed. Stronger muscles will also have more endurance, reducing the rate of muscle fatigue during long training sessions or races.
