You didn't come this far to sit on the sidelines.
Whether you're training for your first half marathon or your tenth ultra, injury has a way of threatening everything you've worked for. At Redefine PT & Performance, we help runners, cyclists, and active adults in Roanoke get back to training — and come back stronger than before.
Most physical therapy gives you 15 minutes with a clinician and the rest with a tech. You leave with a generic exercise sheet and a follow-up appointment you're not sure you need.
Redefine is different.
Every session is one-on-one with Jimmy Picard — Doctor of Physical Therapy, UESCA-certified ultrarunning coach, and competitive endurance athlete. No aides. No handoffs. No guesswork.
Because when training is part of your identity, you deserve care from someone who actually gets it.

Jimmy has been instrumental in getting me back to consistent training. His knowledge and experience as an athlete and practitoner are what I have been looking for for years. I would highly recommend Jimmy to anyone who wants to break the injury cycle and get back to health.
Jimmy, as a true mountain athlete himself, understood both the anxiety I was feeling and why a full recovery meant everything. Jimmy’s sincere enthusiasm, heartfelt care, and years of PT experience were all brought to bear on me and my recovery. That made all the difference.
Jimmy was a huge help getting me back to work after knee surgery. As a mountain guide, it was important for me to find an excellent PT. With Jimmy’s help, I recovered fast and surpassed my expectations as well as my surgeon’s expectations. I would recommend without hesitation.
After helping me with a few injuries, Jimmy worked with me to increase my training volume. I was able to hit running milestones that I thought were impossible. Having a physical therapist and coach that understands endurance training and injury prevention is an invaluable skill set!
