Dr. Jared Griffin
You did not stop running because you wanted to. Something in the knee, the hip, or the inner ear made that call for you, and the advice you got was to rest it and see. Dr. Jared Griffin is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and what he most enjoys treating is whatever is keeping you from running, lifting, or being active. Jared grew up near Jonesboro, Arkansas, and completed both his undergraduate and graduate work at Arkansas State. He practiced in Nashville, Tennessee before moving back to Arkansas with his wife Samantha in October 2025. He brings four years of outpatient orthopedic experience plus a year focused specifically on vestibular rehabilitation, which is an unusual pairing: the same clinician who can rebuild your running gait can also treat the dizziness that has made crossing a parking lot feel unsafe. He is a Certified Level 1 and 2 Running Gait Analyst, a Certified Endurance Running Coach, and a Certified Level 1 and 2 Vestibular Therapist through FYZICAL, and he holds the Brain Injury Certificate from the APTA. He is currently pursuing a barbell athlete certification, and he has a martial arts background behind all of it. Running and balance are his two specialties, and both come down to the same question: what is your body doing under load, and where exactly is the system failing?
The Dao you can name is not the Dao.
What guides the work.
Creativity, empathy, and a constant drive to improve are the three things Jared works from. Creativity, because the textbook protocol rarely fits the actual person on the table. Empathy, because losing the ability to run, lift, or move without fear is a real loss and deserves to be treated like one instead of waved off. And a constant drive to improve, because the certifications he already holds did not stop him from going after the next one. What that means for you is a clinician who will not hand you a generic sheet of exercises, will not promise you a set number of visits, and will keep adjusting the plan until it fits your body rather than the average body in the research.
