Run Like The Rolling Stones, Not a One-Hit Wonder

Preparing You to Keep Running

The difference between A-ha and The Rolling Stones?

Consistency, longevity, and millions of reps.

The Rolling Stones have been on tour for over 60 years—and that kind of staying power is what makes a legend.

Just like them, Huntsville’s Cotton Row Run is a local legend, now in its 45th year! It’s a Memorial Day tradition and a favorite in the North Alabama fitness community. Maybe you’re running it this year. Maybe your whole family signed up and you’re just along for the ride.

But here’s what we see at Refine:

People often jump into holiday races without much training. And while the race itself is fun, the aftermath—soreness, injury, or burnout—can leave them sidelined until next year’s “fun run.”

We want to change that.

At Refine PT and Performance, we’re here to help you keep running well beyond race day. Whether you need:

Fitness-forward physical therapy for nagging aches or injuries, Recovery support through our Refine & Restore program, Or a fresh look at your stride with our Gait Analysis Assessment—we’ll help you train smarter, stay pain-free, and actually enjoy the run.

So this year, don’t be a one-hit wonder.

Be the Rolling Stones of your running group.

Keep running. Keep training. Keep showing up.

We’ll be right there with you.

—The Refine Team

Coming back From ACL Injury with Refine PT and Performance

ACL Injury? What it means to partner with Refine PT and Performance

 

ACL. UCL. ATFL. To most, it’s just alphabet soup. To an athlete, it’s the beginning of a battle.

There’s a quiet moment—sometimes just seconds after the pop, the twist, the pain—when
everything slows down. A moment when the adrenaline fades and the silence sets in. And in that
silence, a question rises:

Am I done? Or am I just getting started?

Faced with surgery, with months of rehab, with fear whispering in your ear, the choice is
anything but easy. You sit with it—in the quiet of a clinic, a car ride home, a sleepless
night—and weigh the cost of the comeback.
For some, the answer is immediate: Yes. I’m coming back.
But the truth is, that “yes” is just the first decision of thousands.

Decisions like who performs your surgery. When to start walking again. Whether you push
through the pain today or rest. Whether you knock out another round of TKEs because your PT
is going to ask, and you know you’ll regret it if you didn’t.
One decision often overlooked?

Who’s guiding you back.

Most just go with whoever’s closest or whoever the surgeon recommends. But ask any
athlete—coaching matters. The right coach doesn’t just train your body—they train your mindset. They see the big picture. They adjust. They inspire. They lead.

Physical therapy should be no different.

At Refine PT and Performance, we don’t just stretch you and send you home. We don’t just
follow a protocol—we build a game plan. From the moment the stitches go in, to the moment
your cleats hit the turf again, we’re with you.

Planning. Pushing. Adjusting. Believing.

We’ve walked this road with athletes at every level—from first-timers to pros. We know what it
takes to get back. We know what it means to fight for your sport.So in that quiet moment, when you say “Yes”—
Make sure the team behind you is ready to run with it.

Refine PT and Performance.

This is where comebacks begin.
