After struggling with injuries for weeks since starting running again, I scheduled my first appointment with Kelton. At the time I was in pain walking and was hoping to be able to run 20 miles per week without pain as soon as possible. Kelton was very generous with his time and attention, and was committed to finding a treatment plan that worked for me. This included going through my training history in great depth in addition to physical evaluation, in a more detailed manor than any other professional I have worked with. Within a few weeks I was running my goal mileage, and over the subsequent sessions I have worked up to much more with his guidance on new injuries/training.I am most impressed with the philosophy of Steady State as a whole; it is foremost a patient-focussed business and both Kelton and Ashten are truly invested in the success of their clients. I would recommend Steady State to any runner/athlete in need of PT.

I finally decided to seek out physical therapy after having progressively worse knee pain when hiking (especially on descents) and multiple "light knee sprains" when playing soccer. According to my doctor, this didn't require PT, just weeks of rest each time it happened. I'm by no means an elite (or even competent) athlete and I just wanted to be able to hike pain free and play adult rec soccer without spraining my knee every few months.Since I'm not an athlete and I'm just a desk jockey (so my knees have no impact on my job), I was hesitant to justify spending the money on PT when I couldn't get a referral from my doctor to use my insurance for traditional PT, but it has been totally worth it. I cancelled my gym membership to save some money and used my HSA to afford the cost. I wasn't sure if they could/would help me because I'm not some great athlete and I don't really run at all beyond the bare minimum to be able to play soccer. From the very beginning, they were very welcoming and more than willing to help me and never made me feel like my goals weren't valid because it wasn't some amazing athletic feat (for reference, it was just walking a 15 minute mile with carrying 45 pounds). Since insurance has been cut out of the equation, I'm in control over the process and I decide when I have met my goals.I worked with Ashten and she is great- she actually listens to my problems and explains potential causes and how my body works, then gives me exercises to help correct the issue. At our next appointment, we go over how I'm feeling and what worked and what didn't and make adjustments. I had an ankle sprain happen during my program and Ashten was super responsive when it happened and was able to give me advice immediately and I was able to heal much faster than if I had just rested it for weeks.Now I'm able to hike pain free and play soccer without knee issues. I have a better understanding of my body and I can adjust my exercise regime as necessary. I can push myself harder at the gym, especially when doing squats, which was always a problem before. Now hiking is fun again and I can get back to my favorite hikes in the White Mountains with confidence. I recommend Steady State to anyone I know who has any sort of issues doing the physical activities they love.

Steady State has given me so much confidence and helped me turn a corner in how I see myself as an athlete. When I first talked to Kelton I was struggling with back spasms and pre race nerves. Before I was even a client he gave me program to help with this. They want to help first and foremost. They understand running and Kelton was the first physio I talked to that did not roll their eyes when I explained the intensity of my run training. Instead, he created programs that where true to my ideas of myself as an athlete. They stay true to their philosophy around provider dependency and because of this I learned how to take care of myself while lifting heavy and running high mileage. Even with all this great help, the best part of working with Steady State is having someone with so many of the same experiences and passions. Any athlete will surely notice this when working with them.

Being an avid and competitive runner it has been hard to be bogged down with several injuries as I have gotten older. I was pretty much done with running a year ago. Then someone recommended I meet with Kelton, so I started meeting with him last spring, and I have been working with him not only to help me fix some injuries, but to gain strength and a more positive outlook about where my running is going. Most importantly, I have also started to enjoy running again.

I reached out to Kelton at SS after experiencing some knee pain, which I later learned to actually be my IT band. Unable to run and caution to do any big hikes, I worked with Kelton to incrementally gain my strength back through a training program. He was very attentive and tailored the exercises to what worked best for me and my goals. Feeling just as normal as before any of this ever happen, I now have the knowledge needed to help myself if I ever find myself with IT band issues again. Great guy who is current with his learnings and enthusiastic about his craft, couldn't recommend him enough.

I’ve struggled with various injuries over the last several years, which has really limited my ability to train consistently. I was reluctant to work with someone as I expected that I would get the usual “rest it” suggestion I’ve gotten so many times before.My experience working with Kelton has been anything but the usual. Kelton understands the frustrations and motivations of runners, being one himself, which has been a game changer. He does a great job listening to my various issues and then explains the exercises and program he’s putting together in detail so that I understand the reasoning behind everything. It’s been a great experience and I would highly recommend Kelton and Steady State.

The foot/ankle/lower leg strengthening exercises Kelton taught me have made a significant difference in my running, as I feel like I can run with better form and power for much longer - what used to be a weakness is now becoming a strength. I really feel like my feet/lower leg are helping to propel me forward, rather than just being along for the ride (and then suffering once they fatigued). And my ankles used to be sore for a couple days after a long run and were generally wobbly/sore when I first got out of bed until I walked around a little - all of that seems to be in the past. Not an exaggeration to say that Kelton's training advice has been truly life-changing, since running/fitness is one of my primary interests/activities!

I have dealt with chronic shin splints for as long as I can remember, and have seen multiple professionals without any lasting change or help. I had basically given up on any hope to run when a friend showed me Kelton's page, and right away I could see that what he offered was different. After my first consultation, which was the most genuine and wholesome I have ever been met at by a professional, Kelton was able to give me the answers and understanding I had been seeking for about a decade. He showed me what was happening in my legs to create the pain, how specific strengthening exercises can help fix it, and gave me hope about having access to running. After just a few weeks and experimenting with the program he provided, I was running 1-2 miles with nearly zero pain. I almost cried tears of joy the first time I was able to achieve this! I highly recommend Kelton (and now Ashten too!!) they are highly trained, welcoming, supportive, and quite literally life changing. I am so grateful I had the chance to work with them!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with BOTH Cullenberg’s. My Cullenberg PT journey started with Kelton. I reached out to Kelton after hearing from my surgeon that I wouldn’t be able to do any core work post surgery. Kelton quickly reassured me that wasn’t true and he was able to give me some exercises that would help rebuild my core strength. He was always available to answer any questions I had - which in the beginning was A LOT.When Ashten joined the team, I got to start working with her! She has been incredible. Ashten has answered so many questions for me that other doctors couldn’t - and she explains it in a way that makes sense. The workouts she has created for me are very personalized and I love how she takes the time to go over them with me and makes any accommodations necessary. I’ve learned so much from her and leave each session feeling very hopeful that I’m just going to continue to get better.I’ve been to PT in the past, but working with the Cullenberg’s is an entirely different experience. I can’t say enough good things about them and I have already recommended them to so many people!

I worked with Kelton on a calf injury and a chronic hip injury. By far the best PT experience I have had. Super helpful in creating workout programs to address underlying issues, and also how to progress them over time. They will also take the time to discuss your goals, injury history, etc. Can't recommend enough!
