What Runners Near Middlebury Are Saying About VT Moms PT

  • Nicole V.

    I started seeing Davida after an avulsion fracture in my ankle and was worried it would keep me from being active at the end of the summer. From the very first session, she took the time to fully assess what was really going on, not just treating the injury itself, but identifying the root cause (in my case, weak feet!). Throughout my time at VT Moms PT, Davida helped me build back balance, strength, and confidence. She used a mix of strengthening exercises, dry needling, and creative approaches, like doing PT in my hockey skates, to keep me progressing safely with my hockey practice and effectively healing the ankle.

  • Janet P.

    I had an excellent experience working with Davida during my rehabilitation for a torn medial ligament. She is a highly skilled and caring physical therapist who pushed me just the right amount while always making me feel supported and safe. Davida is incredibly encouraging, a great listener, and took the time to understand my concerns and goals. She provided challenging, well-thought-out exercises to do at home, which really helped speed up my recovery. I truly appreciate her dedication and expertise, and highly recommend Davida for anyone in need of physical therapy!

  • Taylor Z.

    I came to VT Moms PT after having my third baby because I was dealing with some pelvic floor pain and discomfort. I also wanted help getting back into running safely—in a way that would prevent injury and keep me running for years to come. Davida at VT Moms PT was incredible. She quickly identified my focus areas and gave me therapy and exercises that relieved my pain and discomfort faster than I expected. She's not only incredibly smart and skilled, but also fun, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about running gait analysis

1. What should I expect during my first running gait analysis appointment? 

Your first visit is a comprehensive 90-minute evaluation where we assess your strength, mobility, balance, running form, and pelvic floor function. Dr. Davida takes the time to understand your goals, injury history, and any symptoms you're experiencing. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's causing your pain and a personalized treatment plan to get you back to running.

2. Do I need a physician referral for physical therapy? 

In Vermont, you can access physical therapy without a referral for evaluation and treatment. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. We recommend checking with your insurance provider. We're happy to help you navigate this process—just give us a call at (802) 851-7707.

3. What should I wear to my running assessment? 

Wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows you to move freely—running shorts or leggings and a tank top or t-shirt work well. Bring your running shoes, as we'll analyze your gait and running form during the evaluation. If you have any specific concerns about footwear or orthotics, feel free to bring those as well.

4. Can I bring my baby to appointments? 

Absolutely! VT Moms PT is a baby-friendly environment. We understand the challenges of finding childcare, especially for newborns. You're welcome to bring your baby to appointments—we'll work around feeding and diaper changes as needed. Your comfort and your baby's needs come first.

5. How is pelvic floor physical therapy different from regular PT? 

Pelvic floor PT specializes in treating the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue of the pelvic floor—which are crucial for runners. Many running-related issues like leaking, pelvic pressure, or even hip and back pain stem from pelvic floor dysfunction. At VT Moms PT, we treat the pelvic floor as part of your whole body system, addressing root causes rather than just symptoms.

6. How long does treatment typically take? 

Treatment length varies based on your individual needs and goals. Many clients notice improvements after the first session, with significant progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent treatment and home exercises. Dr. Davida works collaboratively with you to set realistic goals and timelines. You'll also have constant access to her between sessions via email, phone, text, and the exercise app for ongoing support.
