Running Injuries and Physical Therapy

Running is one of the most popular forms of exercise, but it also comes with a risk of injury. Physical therapy can help you recover from running injuries and get back on the road or trail.

Common Running Injuries

Runner's knee, IT band syndrome, shin splints, Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and stress fractures are among the most common running injuries we treat at Active Physical Therapy.

Getting Back to Running

Our return-to-running program uses a progressive, evidence-based approach that includes gait analysis, strength assessment, flexibility work, and gradual mileage increases to get you running safely again.
