WHY CHOOSE RUNLAB™? WE BELIEVE MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE.
We know how to provide the best treatment for you, because we not only have a team of experts but are also runners, triathletes, adventure racers, crossfit athletes, marathoners, and track athletes ourselves.
Have you ever wondered why your knee hurts when you run, but your doctor has never actually watched you run to solve the issue? If the current healthcare system frustrates you, you’ve come to the right place.
Our doctors have experience, both personally and professionally, in just about every sport you can think of: skiing, rugby, rock climbing, lifting, ultimate frisbee, hockey, running, golf, swimming, cycling, and more. Our team has been hand selected because they are all extremely active, and because they understand human movement and the complex relationship between a patient’s structure, range-of-motion, injury history, strengths, and limiters. We are committed to improving a broken healthcare model that focuses on symptoms instead of the underlying cause.
We will work with you to get to the root of any injury you are struggling with or to prevent injuries before they start with our preventative care program.
Kimberly A. Davis, DC, ART
FOUNDER AND CEO
As evidenced by permanent sports-bra tan lines earned through tens of thousands of miles running, biking and paddling all over North America, Dr. Davis understands the unique challenges of endurance athletes. She also understands firsthand how frustrating it is to be sidelined from the sport you love without proper guidance on how to get back out there.
Working as part of sports medicine teams for over a decade, Dr. Davis has dedicated her career to the study of clinical biomechanics and helping runners get back on the trails, improve their performance and enjoy running again. Tired of hearing her clients say they had been told not to run or that “running is bad for your knees” without any discussion about biomechanics, she launched RunLab in 2014 as a running-centric healthcare facility built entirely by, and for, runners.
Dr Davis and her team treat runners of every shape, size and experience level from all over the United States and have worked with Olympic & Junior Olympic gold medalists, National Champions, Elite and professional runners and triathletes, and every type of recreational runner imaginable, including brand new runners and those with special needs such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, and a variety of movement disorders.
The RunLab team loves to tackle any and all running-related issues, from performance limiters and efficiency problems to complex or confusing injuries that have garnered the dreaded “you should just take up cycling” statement from the medical world. RunLab has grown to earn the trust of thousands of runners through performance-centric treatment plans, full body gait analysis, and a fantastic treatment team of specialists who are all dedicated runners.
Dr. Davis is a huge advocate of multi-disciplinary care and her team will work closely with a client’s current physical therapist, medical doctor, or coach to collaborate on a care plan specific to the needs of the individual runner.
EDUCATION
Dr. Davis graduated Cum Laude from the University of Western States in 2008. In addition to a bachelor’s degree in human biology and a doctorate in chiropractic, Dr. Davis has undergone extensive specialized training in running biomechanics, movement pattern analysis, return-to-sport protocols, clinical gait analysis, and Active Release Therapy. As part of the University of Western States Research Department, Dr. Davis worked for several years as a treating clinician and rehabilitation specialist for NIH funded low back pain research studies on both adolescents and adults and has co-authored several publications on musculoskeletal injuries in the pediatric population. She also travels around the United States teaching and lecturing on gait evaluation and clinical biomechanics and enjoys helping personal trainers, coaches, and healthcare practitioners understand how to effectively utilize gait evaluation as an assessment tool.
PERSONAL
In her late 20s, Dr. Davis moved from downhill mountain biking, cyclocross and mountaineering into the endurance world, at which time an old knee injury began to plague her training. After being told she should stop running altogether by an orthopedist in her early-30’s (the impetus for starting RunLab), she promptly decided to increase her mileage, focus on her mechanics, fix her own knee, and prove a point.
Now, despite her hilariously bad swimming ability, she is a 4X Ironman and consistent podium finisher in triathlon and adventure racing. She runs 60-80 miles per week, ran her first 18:56 5K at 42 years old and has not had knee pain or any other running-related injury in almost 10 years. Her favorite races are 24-72 hour adventure races involving mountain biking, trail running, bushwhacking and kayaking, all based around navigation through the backcountry with map and compass (why yes, it IS the greatest sport in the history of ever). She is passionate about making RunLab a home for runners of every shape, size and experience level and currently sits on the board of The Arc as well as an advisory committee for building fitness programs for special needs populations. In 2017 Dr Davis and her team helped the first Down syndrome runner complete the Austin 1/2 marathon and have since launched Kayleigh’s Club, one of the only special-needs running teams in the country.
In 2014, Dr. Davis married serial entrepreneur and newly indoctrinated adventure racer Jonathan Davis, and has inherited three amazing children: Gigi, Cash and most recently, a fuzzy little Jabber-puppy-wocky named Chuck. She has never met a frozen margarita she wouldn’t drink and has a love-hate relationship with Ben & Jerry’s…meaning she loves Half-Baked and hates when there isn’t any in her freezer.
AUSTIN TEAM
Eric Rhoden, PT, DPT
CLINIC DIRECTOR & DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY
Dr. Rhoden was born and raised in San Diego, California, making Austin, Texas his home in 2016. Dr. Rhoden has always thrived on competition and learning new skills. After dabbling in many sports over the years, soccer became his primary focus. Just before playing soccer at the collegiate level, he sustained a knee injury, removing him from the sport and solidifying his desire to pursue a career in physical therapy. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with his bachelor’s in Kinesiology from California State University, San Marcos and received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Loma Linda University.
Following his academic accomplishments, Dr. Rhoden has served in various institutions and corporations as an advisor for health-related products, policies, and research projects. He has over 10 years experience in wellness coaching, nutrition, and personal training. During the past 6 years, Dr. Rhoden has been a movement disorder specialist with a local neurology practice. During the height of the pandemic, he co-founded a remote COVID-19 testing company to support the community. In addition, Dr. Rhoden has also spent time providing continuing education courses throughout the US on comprehensive Parkinson’s care and enjoys presenting to local groups throughout the Austin area.
Dr. Rhoden is married to his incredible wife Erin and together they have a 9-year-old son Mason who keeps them busy. While fitness has been a part of his professional life, it is also a part of his personal life as well. Dr. Rhoden currently participates in local running groups, Camp Gladiator, CrossFit, and any other competition he can get his hands on. His goal is to “be the grandpa that can still run, climb, get on the floor, and defeat my grandkids in a push-up contest.” When Dr. Rhoden is not competing, he enjoys creating healthy dishes in the kitchen, gardening, camping, and enjoying time with his family.
Matthew Bierschenk, PT, DPT
DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY
Throughout his life, the biggest constant in Dr Bierschenk’s (pronounced BEER-SHANK) life has been sports. Growing up on the mean streets of Nacogdoches, TX, it was commonplace to find him practicing soccer, or recreationally running, cycling, disc golfing, or playing basketball in his driveway. He moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas, where he majored in Sociology. Almost immediately after stepping onto the 40 acres, he was swept into the world of ultimate frisbee. What followed next was a 17 year (and counting) career that included being a member of a national championship winning team in 2012 with Austin Doublewide and a three year stint as a member of the Austin Sol, a professional team associated with the American Ultimate Disc League. He also volunteered his time for 8 years as a coach of the men’s ultimate frisbee team at UT and worked as a coach and counselor at various ultimate frisbee summer camps. It was through Ultimate Frisbee that Dr. Bierschenk met Dr. Halasz as he was introduced into the field of Physical Therapy for the first time in 2012 before attending Texas State University for Physical Therapy in 2014. After 15 years of living in the hill country he moved to Fort Worth in 2020 for a brief stint before being beckoned home by the opportunity to join the team at RunLab 15 short months later. While he still finds a great deal of identity and release through sports, his main passion now revolves around family life with his wife, 1yo daughter, and two dogs; always looking for new adventures and new horizons.
Daniel Murray, PT, DPT
DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY
After a major injury in high school, Dr. Murray had both positive and negative experiences with rehab. Those experiences, combined with his interest in kinesiology and a desire to help others, led him to the field of physical therapy, intent on doing better. As an Austin native, Dr. Murray stayed close to home and earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Texas at Austin, followed by his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Texas State University. While much around the city has changed, Dr. Murray finds stability in the big family he still has in town and their weekly dinners. Dr. Murray’s favorite forms of movement include ultimate frisbee, cycling, and trail running, with more casual forays into local triathlons, tennis, volleyball, swimming, and cyclocross. While he gets a lot of running in, you will rarely find Dr. Murray just going for a jog – the more dynamic the movement, the more appealing. These varied sports have given Dr. Murray additional experience in assessing and treating athletes in agility-based sports. Further areas of interest include motor learning, movement as a form of mindfulness, and public health. While often assumed to be a healthy eater, Dr. Murray’s strong sweet tooth ensures he gets more than enough calories to sustain his active lifestyle.
Emily Skipper, PT, DPT
DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY
Dr. Skipper was born and raised in Victoria, Texas where she grew up with a great passion for sports. From a very young age she has competed in basketball, track, baseball, and softball.

She received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from South College in 2019. Additionally, she completed a Sports Residency through Evidence in Motion in 2020 to further her knowledge in specialized care working with athletes.

Colby McCune
CLINICAL GAIT SPECIALIST
I was raised in Manhattan, Kansas as an avid Kansas State Wildcat football fan. I fell in love with running at 10 years old when I signed up for my first road race. It was a 2-mile road race on St. Patty’s day, I won my age group and after that I was hooked on running. I relocated to Texas at the age of 12 and was lucky enough to be a part of a great cross-country program at Boerne High School. I was a part of two team cross country state titles and in my final year my team won the national championship. This experience fostered my love for running and gave me the opportunity to compete at the college level. I attended Stephen F. Austin State University on a track scholarship and majored in Kinesiology. Each summer I work with high school kids as a running camp counselor because I’m passionate about giving back to the youth and using the sport of running as a catalyst to develop character and a healthy lifestyle. I consider myself a running nerd and love reading about the science and history of the sport. These days I still run and compete at the highest level that I can with the goal of qualifying for the US Olympic Trials in 2020. If I’m not running then I’m probably watching MMA and or listening to Hip Hop.
Jocelyn Smith
MOBILITY SPECIALIST
Born in Hawaii and raised in El Paso, Tx, Jocelyn graduated with her Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training from THE University of Texas at Austin and her Master of Science degree from Texas State University. She was drawn to athletic training not just because of the combination of sports and medicine, but the ability to be a “Jack of all trades” to help people get back to doing what they are passionate about. Her education and career have allowed her to work with various athletes at different levels and exposed her to numerous sports-related orthopedic injuries. She has worked with track and field, football, swimming, volleyball, tennis, lacrosse, and soccer. Her athletic background began at a young age with horseback riding and she has since participated in barrel racing, taekwondo, basketball, and track and field. These days you can find Jocelyn going on hikes or runs with her two high-energy dogs, kickboxing, watching Texas football, traveling, or watching the latest movie release.
Casey Nall
MOBILITY SPECIALIST
Casey moved from Yakima, Washington in 2007. Seeking a fitness group to mimic the community feel of the karate school she attended, she stumbled upon running and got hooked. After running her second marathon with floating cartilage, and two knee surgeries later, conventional medicine told her she needed to never run again. Devastated, Casey left her corporate job in 2015 and pursued a career as a Certified Personal Trainer to help individuals find passion in fitness again. This influence of strength training allowed her to become strong enough to run again, this time faster, and she consistently enrolls in races to further challenge herself. She holds a RRCA Level 1 Run Coach certification and none of her fitness certifications match any of her higher educational training (but still, go Hilltoppers!)..
Dianna Prince
MOBILITY SPECIALIST
Dianna is a dedicated mobility therapist with extensive hands-on experience in soft tissue mobilization. She holds certifications in cupping, IASTM, kinesio taping, and fascial stretch therapy. After completing her training at Massage Therapy School in Baton Rouge, she has continued to expand her expertise through advanced education in athletic and rehab performance, as well as movement optimization. As a lifelong athlete and basketball enthusiast, Dianna understands firsthand the physical demands sports place on the body. Her philosophy is simple: “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing,” which fuels her passion for helping others maintain movement and longevity. When she’s not helping clients move better, Dianna dedicates her time to running two basketball non-profit leagues: NGBA, which hosts national tournaments for LGBTQ Women+, and the Austin-based Love And Basketball Society. She’s also a proud dog mom to Honey and Butter.
