We Are Physical Therapists That Specialize in Treating Running Injuries

Runner’s Knee

Don’t let knee pain stop you from running. We can find the root cause of your knee pain and solve it.

Achilles Tendonitis

Pain in your achilles tendon is NOT normal. Achilles tendonitis that is stopping you from running is ESPECIALLY not normal.

Running Form

Impairments

Whether you’re over-striding or hitting the ground too hard, fixing your running form can help with ALL running related injuries/pain.

Iliotibial Band

Syndrome

If you’ve tried foam rolling and stretching your IT Band you’re not alone. We’ve helped hundreds of runners solve their IT Band Syndrome for good!

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis can be debilitating. The cycle of foot and heel pain when running, walking, and first thing in the morning can be stopped!

Hip Bursitis/

Glute Medius

Tendonitis

It’s very common for runners to have hip pain. Once you retrain your body to properly use your hips when running, your hip pain will disappear.
