From Injury Recovery to Outdoor Adventure: A Client’s Wellness Transformation

At Performance Optimal Health, we help people get back to doing what they love—smarter, stronger, and with lasting results. For endurance athlete and outdoor enthusiast Elizabeth “Libby” Harrington, that meant returning to the trails with purpose—and launching a wellness-driven hiking community called Vital Ventures.

Healing with Purpose, Training with Intention

After sustaining injuries from marathon training, Libby came to Performance seeking a more integrated, expert-guided approach to recovery and fitness. Through personalized care in strength, recovery, and diagnostics, she gained not just healing—but confidence and clarity in her training. “I wasn’t being sold to—I was being supported,” she shared.

Introducing Vital Ventures: Curated Hikes, Community & Wellness

What began as a personal fitness journey evolved into Vital Ventures—a growing community that brings people together through curated hikes, wellness education, and adventure travel. Whether it’s training hikes in Westchester or expeditions to Alaska and the Grand Canyon, Libby’s mission is simple: help people get adventure-ready through movement, purpose, and community.

Wellness Backed by Experts, Built on Shared Values

Our collaboration with Libby highlights what happens when science-backed recovery meets real-world adventure. As she prepares for new hikes and health assessments with our team, we’re proud to support her continued journey and share her unique vision of helping people become “adventure ready”— to share her inspiring story with those looking to take the next step in their own.
