“Dr Payton is amazing! She met me where I'm at in my health journey and my needs and goals. I didn't feel like just a number. She genuinely cares about people, and has a whole life aspect approach to her care and treatment. She has a broad skill set to help people whatever their needs and goals could be. She's super patient and kind and always takes the time to listen to my questions and concerns. She not only wants to help address any issues, but also she wants to educate her clients on the "why" to help them on their health journey. My specific needs and goals relate to running, and it was enlightening for her to explain certain issues and biomechanics to me that I hadn't thought would affect each other. My specific weaknesses relate to hip and ankle mobility and even with my couple visits to her, I've already seen improvement in my understanding and mobility control from what she's shown me. She is a super encouraging and positive person and has a huge heart for people. I'm glad for spending time with her and I'm sure you will too.”

“I had been dealing with chronic foot pain for over 4 months when I sought treatment. (Payton/Dr. Birkel) provided excellent care and gave me simple exercises and strategies for me to rehab my foot at home. Her treatment allowed me to manage my foot pain, while allowing me to train for my first marathon. I recommend (Payton/Dr. Birkel) as a specialist for running-related injuries because she is a runner herself and understands the demands of hard training.”

“Dr Payton has taken the time to understand my situation and thoughtfully put into place a protocol of care that I believe has made a world of difference, not only in my acute needs but overall wellness journey!”
