Your Personal Physical Therapist & Coach

Welcome! I'm Dr. Bonnie Wilder—Physical Therapist, run coach, strength coach, and competitive runner! I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Hartford and my Bachelor’s in Exercise Science from Sacred Heart University. During undergrad, I competed in Division I cross country and track & field, and I’ve continued running competitively ever since. I’ve completed 10+ half marathons (PB 1:25) and 5 marathons, including four World Majors—New York City, Boston, London, and Chicago—with a marathon personal best of 3:05.

 

Before college, sports were my world. I have competed in lacrosse, soccer, basketball, swimming, and now compete in tennis. In high school I focused solely on running, which led to several injuries. After developing severe IT band syndrome that kept me from walking or running, I feared missing my favorite season—cross country. Physical therapy changed everything. Within 8 months, I was pain-free, back to racing, and inspired to pursue a career dedicated to helping others return to what they love.

 

My passion is helping runners move, perform, and thrive pain-free. With more than a decade of competitive running experience—from collegiate competition to world-major marathons—I understand the real recipe for success: smart programming, targeted rehab, and strength training that supports long-term performance.

​

Now that you know a little about me, I look forward to learning more about you—and hopefully supporting you on your journey to running and feeling your best.
