Get Back to Running in Redding, CA
Running Injury Physical Therapy
How to stop chronic and disruptive running pain WITHOUT injections, WITHOUT taking painkillers and WITHOUT having to wear a support or brace. If you worry about pain that won't go away no matter what you do when you run, are upset that stretching and taking medicine haven't helped, or are still looking for a long-term fix so you can go on your favorite runs again — you are in the right place.
Why Your Running Pain May Be Lasting So Long
It's hard to make a choice when there are so many options. If you don't make the right choice, you could end up doing more harm than good. Someone in your family suggests a certain stretch, a coworker says they go to a massage therapist, YouTube "experts" recommend certain exercises, a friend suggests yoga. Getting the "least invasive" and most natural treatment is VERY IMPORTANT if you want to stop feeling pain and keep it from coming back.
- You were told to "just rest it" and everything would be fine, but months later you're still in pain
- You were told it's "normal" as you get older and to just accept it
- You tried stretching, foam rolling, and icing but nothing provided lasting relief
- You've been to other healthcare providers but nothing worked
- You found exercises online that either didn't help or made things worse
