Originally from New Orleans LA, Jay completed the Masters of Physical Therapy degree at Louisiana State University Medical Center and is a Board- Certified Sports Clinical Specialist. Jay built his international reputation as an expert in biomechanical analysis as Director of the SPEED Clinic at the University of Virginia. Through this innovative venture, Jay was able to blend the fields of clinical practice and engineering to better understand  and eliminate the cause of overuse injuries in endurance athletes. His unique approach goes outside the traditional model of therapy and aims to correct imbalances before they affect your performance.

Jay literally wrote the book on running gait assessments: he is author of “Anatomy for Runners”, writes columns for numerous magazines, and has published over a dozen professional journal articles and three book chapters. Jay has had an active research career, teaches nationally, and consults for numerous footwear companies, the US Air Force and USA Track and Field. His ongoing research focus on footwear and the causative factors driving overuse injury continues to provide him cutting edge knowledge to educate and provide patients with an unmatched level of innovation and success. Having taught in the Sports Medicine program at UVA, he brings a strong bias towards patient education, and continues to teach nationally to elevate the standard of care for Therapists, Physicians, and Coaches working with endurance athletes.

In addition to his clinical distinction, Jay is a certified coach through both the United States Track and Field Association and the United States Cycling Federation, and certified Golf Fitness Instructor through Titleist Performance Institute. He has a competitive history in swimming, triathlon, cycling, and running events on both the local and national level, and has coached athletes from local standouts to national medalists. He is excited to share this passion with the team at Rebound, and explore the Pacific Northwest with his family on knobbies, skis, boards, and soles.

He coauthored the book Adhesive Metal-Free Restorations, edited in 1997 by Quintessence and translated into seven languages. Dr Dietschi is internationally acclaimed for his theoretical and practical teaching programs focused on adhesive and esthetic restorations with the integration of scientific evidence and implementation of new technologies in the field of minimally invasive esthetic dentistry applied to the restorations of anterior and posterior teeth.

Cora Dittkrist was born 1967 in Arosa, Switzerland, and is an enthusiastic sportswoman who is fond of traveling and nature. She grew up in the Hochsauerland and completed an apprenticeship as a travel agent. Cora studied dual sports and tourism management in Marburg/Lahn. Health and a job offer led her to Sylt, from where she traveled the world and got to know other cultures and their cuisines. Cora continually educated herself in the areas of fitness and nutrition and acquired numerous trainer licenses in the field of fitness and martial arts. She worked part-time as a personal trainer and yoga instructor. After 9/11 shook the travel industry, and after a 2-year sabbatical in Mallorca, she became a non-medical practitioner. Since then, Cora has enthusiastically accompanied people who are willing to invest in themselves and their health. She works in her own practice, offering various nutrition, exercise, and treatment concepts. But, most of all, Cora likes to hike with the fasting guests over the islands of Sylt and Mallorca. In doing so, she motivates course participants to value themselves more – here and now.
