Physical Therapy
for Runners

From 5Ks to marathons, we keep runners running. Fellowship-trained Doctors of PT who understand training load, race schedules, and how to get you back to your pace.

How We Treat Runners Differently

Generic PT tells you to stop running. We build your rehab around your training — because the road is where you need to perform.

We Analyze Your Running Mechanics

Your evaluation includes a running gait analysis. We assess your foot strike, cadence, hip mechanics, and arm drive — because the problem almost never shows up lying on a table. We find what's actually breaking down under load.

You Keep Running

We don't pull you off the road unless there's a genuine safety reason. We modify your training load around the injury — adjusting volume, intensity, and surface — so you keep your base while you heal.

One Doctor. Every Session.

No techs. No handoffs. You see the same fellowship-trained Doctor of PT every single visit — someone who knows your training block, your race calendar, and your movement history. Continuity is how we get results faster.

Root Cause — Not Symptom Management

Knee pain on long runs is rarely just 'IT band syndrome.' We trace the chain — hip strength, foot mechanics, training load, running form — and fix the actual driver. That's why our patients don't keep coming back for the same injury.

Race Calendar Drives the Plan

Whether you're 16 weeks out from a marathon or 4 weeks from a 10K, the rehab plan looks different — and we build it around what you actually need to do on race day.

Fellowship-Level Manual Therapy

The FAAOMPT credential — held by fewer than 1% of PTs in the country — means advanced hands-on diagnostic and treatment skills. When we put our hands on you, we're not guessing. We're applying the highest level of manual therapy available in the profession.

Common Running Injuries We See

Running creates a specific injury profile from repetitive loading. Here's what runners most commonly come to us with.

IT Band Syndrome

Lateral knee pain that builds through a run is the most common running complaint. We address hip strength, running mechanics, and tissue load — not just the band itself.

Plantar Fasciitis

Heel and arch pain that's worst in the morning or after long runs. We manage load, restore tissue capacity, and keep you running while it heals.

Achilles Tendinopathy

Achilles stiffness and pain from training load accumulation. We load the tendon correctly, restore calf capacity, and get you back to full mileage.

Patellofemoral Pain

Knee pain under the kneecap that builds on hills and long runs. We address quad strength, hip mechanics, and running form to take the load off the joint.

Shin Splints

Medial tibial stress from training load spikes. We identify the driver — footwear, surface, volume, mechanics — and build your load back up correctly.

Hip & Glute Pain

Hip flexor, piriformis, and glute issues from running volume and hip mechanics. We restore strength and mobility so your hips can do their job through every mile.
