Dr. Scott Runyon at Backcountry Physical Therapy did a great job working on my golfers elbow. He utilized Dry Needling. My elbow has no pain now!! I can now get back to weight lifting. Dr. Runyon knew that I was nervous, but he was extremely patient and understanding. I would recommend his services to anyone!
Backcountry Physical Therapy and their entire crew absolutely know what they’re doing — and do it with real care.

If you’re active — hiking, skiing, lifting, or just want to move pain-free while staying strong — this is the place to go. After working with them, I feel more confident in my movement, more mobile, and way less worried about nagging aches or re-injury. Highly recommend to anyone who wants expert PT that actually helps you get back to doing what you love.
I can’t say enough good things about Backcountry PT and their team. After dealing with shoulder and back injuries that had me worried about how long recovery might take, I was amazed at how quickly I started to feel real progress. From day one, they took the time to understand the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. Every session was personalized, challenging, and motivating — exactly what I needed. The mix of hands-on treatment, targeted exercises, and education on how to move and strengthen properly made all the difference. I’m back to doing the things I love, pain-free and stronger than before. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, knows their craft inside and out, and gets results fast, Scott is the one to see!
Dr. Scott is great. Practical, focused, and really tailors plans to what you need. He helped me with a hamstring issue, so when my knee started acting up, it was great to go back to someone I trust. He also gave me long-term tips for lifting and training that I use in my normal routine. 5 stars!
Scott is great! Came in with myriad issues, mainly back pain caused by poor posture and strength imbalances. We worked over the course of 10 sessions to address that as well as myriad other issues. He listens, stays within your comfort level but still challenges you (only way to see progress, after all) and is easygoing to work with. I can go on much longer hikes now without intense pain. I appreciated the convenience of the online portal to access my exercises.

Expert physical therapy for active lifestyles—get back to what you love, pain-free and stronger.
