Get To Know Us
Bridget Dungan Twedt
Doctor of Physical Therapy, Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist, Certified Running Analyst, Certified Running Endurance Coach, Certified Advanced Vestibular Therapist, Certified Dry Needling Practitioner
Hi, I’m Bridget Twedt. I specialize in helping runners and active adults stay active, as well as treating dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders.
As a runner and physical therapist, I understand both the joy of pursuing athletic goals and the frustration that comes when pain gets in the way.
As an athlete, I’ve experienced the challenges of injury firsthand. I played collegiate soccer, trained in the Brazilian martial art of Capoeira, competed in triathlons, and today, running is one of my favorite ways to challenge myself and stay healthy. Despite five knee surgeries, including ACL and meniscus injuries, I’ve learned that staying strong and moving well is what allows me to continue doing the things I love. That experience shapes how I practice and fuels my desire to help others stay active, healthy, and confident in their own bodies.
My approach combines hands-on treatment, corrective exercise, and motor learning to reduce pain, restore movement, and improve performance. I take a whole-body approach to evaluation and treatment, recognizing that the source of pain is not always where the symptoms are felt.
I also specialize in treating dizziness, vertigo, and vestibular disorders, including BPPV, helping people regain confidence in their balance and get back to living their lives.
Before becoming a physical therapist, I worked in sports television, producing athlete features for CSTV, CBS Sports, and NBC Olympics. I was always drawn to stories about athletes overcoming injuries and returning to competition. While working at the Beijing Olympics, I saw swimmer Dara Torres receiving treatment at the Aquatics venue, and I remember thinking that I’d rather be on the other side, helping athletes recover instead of telling their stories. That was one of many experiences that eventually led me to pursue a career in physical therapy.
I believe that pain may make you pause, but it shouldn’t stop you from living your life. Whether your goal is running your first 5K, training for a marathon, returning to a favorite sport, or simply moving without limitations, my goal is to help you build the strength, confidence, and resilience to get there and beyond.

Jason Twedt
Master Bike Fitter, USAT & USA Cycling Certified Coach, Certified Running Analyst
Jason has been coaching runners, cyclists, and triathletes for over 15 years. An endurance athlete himself, he has completed marathons, triathlons of all distances, and has logged thousands of miles in the saddle. Originally trained as a competitive skier, Jason pursued his passion in college where he raced and worked in a ski shop. He became known as the guy to go see for all things skiing. It was in Boulder where he also found a love of cycling and took to riding as extra training in the warm months. He found a group of riding buddies, who also happened to be pro triathletes, and a passion for multisport racing soon took hold.
At the same time, Jason was taking Kinesiology classes to improve his boot fitting skills for skiers. He quickly realized that the outcome of a perfectly dialed-in boot fit will still be limited by the presence of dysfunctional movement patterns. He knew that that no body is symmetrical and that human bodies are meant to move – when they stop moving, or move poorly, dysfunctional adaptations occur. He started to observe his friends who were complaining of various pains on their bikes. He was excellent at fitting ski boots, so they talked him into giving bike fitting a try. He applied the same principles – that each body is unique, and no two people will have the same fit or move the same way.
Now regarded as one of the best bike fitters on the East Coast, Jason has established himself as the go-to for cyclists seeking their first bike fit, a seasoned athlete looking for that next advantage, or the injured cyclists wanting to get back the sport pain free. His first-hand experience on the bike and years of working with bodies on and off the bike have given Jason a wealth of knowledge in cycling dynamics to help athletes perform at their absolute best.
Jason’s bike fits and coaching are a reflection of his education, his experience, and the influence of many fine ‘movement specialists.’ He learned under some of the best in the run and bike worlds. He studied running under Lee Saxby, bike fitting from Ivan O’Gorman, and spent extensive time with Bob Seebohar to learn about sports nutrition. Jason is a Retül and FIST Certified Bike Fitter and RunDNA Certified Running Analyst.
In his fifteen plus years of coaching, Jason has worked with runners, cyclists and triathletes at all levels. He has worked with elite and pro athletes, and currently focuses on providing realistic and effective plans for people with jobs and families. As a husband and father, he understands how challenging balancing life’s commitments can be, but also how to help you to perform at your best and keep you injury free on the way.

Do you take my insurance?
High Road Physical Therapy wants you in the driver’s seat, not your insurance company. That’s why we work with most insurance companies as an out-of-network provider. Ultimately this model leads to better care at a price that’s often similar to what you’d pay at an in-network provider. Before your initial evaluation, we’ll check your insurance benefits and give you a full breakdown of your coverage. You’ll never get a surprise bill, and you’ll know all your costs upfront. We also have self-pay rates for those without insurance coverage. If you want to know what your insurance will cover and the costs for your treatment, shoot us an email, or give us a call – we’ll be happy to let you know!
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear something comfortable that will allow you to move. Also, consider making it easy for us to access the body part or area we’re addressing. Shorts are great if we’re looking at your knee, and a tank top would be ideal if your shoulder is the problem.
