Had a great time doing an injury prevention workshop and injury screen for

We got to educate the riders on the components of a stoke cycle and potential injuries you might face during each phase, and we performed group injury screens with the associated treatments!

We loved researching this topic and volunteering our time to educate this group of riders! If you know another group who may be interested in this type of workshop please don’t hesitate to inquire!

Tried something new the other day at ! Chris kicked things off with a 90-minute Signature Fit Evaluation, and I was seriously impressed.

We started off with an in depth conversation about my goals, medical/fitness history, nutrition, hydration, and more, which set the tone for a truly personalized and comprehensive experience. From there he guided me through a movement screen to identify any inconsistencies or areas of focus; and wrapped it up with a focused training session to give me a glimpse of what’s to come.

They even have access to a Styku body scan, if you’re interested in diving deeper into your own body composition and data, which also allowed for more precise tracking of your progress.

Touchstone and Fitness Together Columbia are teaming up to combine personal training with physical therapy to help mutual patients achieve their fitness, health, and wellness goals from every angle.

Big things ahead!

Spotlight on our physical therapist Dr. Natalie Day Rivers:

At a young age I fell in love with fitness, nutrition and training the body to perform at its best through my love of soccer and running. After graduating from Salisbury University, I began working in the advertising industry. As a side job, I also worked as a personal trainer and spin instructor. The advertising industry never excited me as much as working with clients to reach their fitness goals. A strong desire to help people on a therapeutic level drew me into physical therapy. I suffered several knee injuries that required surgery, and deeply respected the process of skilled rehab.

I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Howard University in 2016. No matter the goal, I am devoted to helping individuals reach their prior level of fitness and beyond.

Spotlight on our physical therapist, office manager, and owner Dr. Christina Eidi

I am a physical therapist with over 5 years of outpatient experience under my belt, treating a variety of orthopedic conditions with a particular passion for spinal disorders and active populations. I also have experience in the home care setting working primarily with neurologic conditions. I’ve pursued continuing education courses including Michigan State’s osteopathic manual medicine program and dry needling to enhance my skills and provide the best care for my patients.

Originally from Bethesda, Maryland, I grew up dancing, and running on the high school track team. My interest in Physical Therapy began when I suffered a leg injury while running on the track team. After completing physical therapy and experiencing its power I knew I wanted to help people and that this was what I wanted to do. I graduated with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Touro College in Bayshore, NY in 2019 and with a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland in 2014. My career has taken me through various exciting places, including Washington, D.C., and Colorado, before bringing me back home to Maryland.

When I’m not in the clinic, you can find me hiking with my husband and our dog, weightlifting, rock climbing, trying new restaurants or enjoying quality time with family and friends.

Spotlight on physical therapist and owner Dr. Thomas Rados:

Physical therapy has been a part of my life since I was a child. I have many memories of my uncle, the first physical therapist I knew, treating my family members at family gatherings. Even as a child it fascinated me how just a few minutes of hands on treatment could completely change someone’s mood and understanding of how to take care of themselves.

Physical activity and participation in athletics was also engrained in my upbringing, as both of my parents were black belts in karate, lifted weights, and attended workout classes regularly. Watching them taught me the importance of health and longevity. I wanted to be able to do physical activities l loved for as long as I could. Throughout my life I have competed competitively in lacrosse, jiu jitsu, soccer, swimming, basketball, and baseball. When my mother got Lyme disease a decade ago which attacked her joints and caused systemic arthritis, I witnessed the impact of a debilitating condition which robbed her of her ability to use her body in the ways she loved. The tremendous help she received from physical therapy along with the effort she put into her recovery is really what inspired me to pursue it as a career.


What I love about physical therapy is the impact I can have on a patient’s whole life, rather than just their condition. I can help them return to activities they never thought they’d be doing again, inspire them to practice healthier lifestyle choices, or even something as simple as allow them sleep throughout the night without waking up due to pain. It is a great feeling to treat someone and learn that I have made a positive impact.

Because I love being near the water, I attended St. Mary’s College of MD for undergraduate and earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Touro College in Bay Shore, NY in 2019. When I’m not in the clinic, I enjoy spending time in nature with my wife and dog, traveling, working out, hiking, snowboarding, watching comedy, listening to podcasts, expanding my PT and wellness knowledge, finding new and interesting places to eat, and spending time with family and friends.
