Steady State

I have been struggling with lower back pain on and off for 4 years now. My last episode was by far the worst and I was not getting better with my typical self created routine. Pain was to the point where I was in pain doing any task or at rest with or without medication, let alone leading an active outdoor lifestyle.Kelton worked with me to set a baseline, work on managing the pain by giving me skills to get myself out of spasm, as well as focus on strengthening my posterior chain, and core. The flexibility of in person and virtual visits really fit my busy workweeks well. His program plans were updated after each visit or if I had issues and helped me make the most effective use of my time for daily and several times a week routines.I am now in a place after 6 sessions where I am actively strengthening my body, lifting weights to avoid further injury, and finally getting back to my active outdoor lifestyle running and skiing.Thanks again Kelton!

I saw Ashten early on in my pregnancy with a goal to remain physically active and fit but do so in a safe way. She gave me a great prenatal workout plan specific to my goals and needs, and in doing so my fears of "working out the wrong way" washed away. She helped me recognize my areas of strengths and weaknesses as well. Halfway through my second trimester I started to suffer from severe pain in my left hip and had a terrible limp- Ashten was quick to help me and diagnosed me with pelvic girdle pain (something that can occur during pregnancy). She listened to all of my concerns and gave me exercises to help strengthen my core and lower back which were undergoing many changes due to pregnancy. She even taught me how to properly get in and out of bed and move smarter while accomplishing daily tasks. After a couple of weeks of consistently doing the exercises Ashten gave me, my hip pain went from an 8 to nearly a 2!! And now, at 32 weeks pregnant I can honestly say I feel the best I have so far and am still very active! Ashten is more than a physical therapist, she is a true, devoted friend who wants the absolute best for everyone and won't stop until you get there! Thank you, Ashten! 💗

I can’t say enough about the care that both Kelton and Ashten provide. From literally the moment I broke my ankle (sending photos sitting in the dirt) Kelton helped me navigate deciding if I needed an X-ray, and balancing proper recovery with the desire to complete my goal race 5 months later.He went above and beyond, proving me with information about lab work, proper nutrition and rest. He let me vent and stress and pushed me to keep believing in myself through the recovery. He gave me great guidance about when and where and how much to run and just rolled his eyes when I didn’t listen.Kelton and Ashten are both super knowledgeable and obviously care for their clients, and that care shows in both the time they spend with you in the clinic and also the resources they provide for you between sessions.5 months after breaking my ankle trail running I completed 64 miles in a mountain ultramarathon and I owe so much of that to Kelton’s care. I highly recommend working with Cullenberg PT (Steady State)!

Kelton is a world of knowledge. During my sessions with him he has been nothing short of top notch with quality of care and ability to break down difficult training concepts for easy application and understanding. Great with everything from manual manipulations to building routines for recovery as well as strength. His own experience as a competitive athlete has gained him an amazing ability to understand the athlete client. His ability to apply his educational training to that practical knowledge base is what really seals the deal for me. Highly recommend.

Kelton has helped me tremendously. I was a perpetually injured runner and I finally decided I needed professional help (lol!). He helped me recover from my two existing injuries through PT, and is now coaching me to achieve my running goals while staying healthy. I cannot express how much this has helped my running ability, knowledge, and mental health. In the past, I'd get anxiety with every ache or pain, tending to stop running entirely out of fear. He has taught me that continuing to run is usually ok with appropriate adjustments. It's my source of happiness and stress relief, so this is amazing! Kelton is a passionate (and very successful) runner and has been through it. It's been several years since I've felt so good and been able to move the way I want to, and I am so thankful. For runner-specific PT and coaching in Northern New England, this is the place.

TWO visits! That's all it took for Kelton to have me healthy and running pain free. Unlike other physical therapy experiences, Kelton took the time to understand and consider my history before jumping in. After a few seemingly innocent tests, he pinpointed the issue and recommended a very simple set of at-home exercises. This 10-15 minute routine of simple, targeted exercises has done more for me than hours of stretching and searching the internet for solutions on my own. I cannot recommend his services enough!

Highly recommend visiting Kelton for any PT needs! As a runner one frustration I've had with other PTs is the blanket advice to take a time off from running when any issue presents itself. Kelton has worked with me to limit any time off, which is super important. He's worked with me to put together plans for resolving issues and to help ensure they don't occur again so that I can keep training on track!

I've been running marathons for over 45 years, and since my prime, I've been steadily getting slower. Now that I'm retired, with time for both training and rest, I've set an ambitious marathon goal, and hired Kelton as a coach to help me achieve it.Kelton has been providing a daily workout schedule, including very specific distance and paces, covering intervals, long runs, rest days, etc. He comments on all of my runs, and adjusts the plans based on how I perform. He also incorporates my personal activities into the schedule, such as mountain runs with friends.In the 4 months that Kelton has been coaching me, I'm seeing significant progress towards my goal, and have avoided injuries.
