Physical Therapy
Specialized physical therapy for runners addresses biomechanical imbalances through posture evaluation, muscle tension assessment, and neuromuscular re-education. Our approach combines hands-on treatment with movement pattern correction to resolve chronic injuries while maintaining training continuity. Clients receive personalized exercise programs and real-time video feedback to reinforce proper form during recovery.
Running Coaching
Individualized running coaching focuses on form optimization using slow-motion video analysis and body awareness techniques. We teach efficient movement patterns that reduce injury risk while improving performance metrics like stride efficiency and race times. Sessions include personalized drills and visualization exercises tailored to each runner's biomechanics and training goals.
Gait Analysis
Comprehensive gait analysis uses outdoor video recording to capture natural running mechanics without treadmill distortion. We identify inefficient movement patterns contributing to injury through frame-by-frame review, then develop targeted correction strategies. This assessment forms the foundation for all treatment and training recommendations.
Injury Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation programs combine soft tissue mobilization, strength training, and movement re-education to resolve chronic running injuries. Using the Healing on the Run method, we maintain functional mobility during recovery to accelerate healing through increased circulation. Clients learn self-correction techniques to prevent future injuries.
Virtual Sessions
Virtual physical therapy and coaching sessions provide accessible care through video conferencing and shared video analysis. Clients receive personalized exercise programs with remote progress tracking, making expert running form correction available nationwide. This format maintains the same technical rigor as in-person sessions.
