Return To Pain Free Running

The next step and a critical step in the process is performing a video running analysis. We break down every aspect of your running form - not just from your knees down. We look at your entire body and then pair that with your functional physical therapy exam to get a whole and personalized view of where you are and where you need to go!

Step 4 involves the first step in healing after any injury. You will almost always get same day treatment instructions on your first session, but from there our goal is to control the pain and the inflammatory process, and to strategically guide your body's healing process to ensure it happens without aggravation!

At this point, the pain is long gone and you're starting to feel like your old self again. You're starting to activate your muscles appropriately and gaining full range of motion. This step involves progressive loading to your injured tissues and the rest of your body. Loading your muscles, tendons, joints, and body is how strength is built and how continued healing is stimulated.

We also introduce you to running again with a set schedule to ensure a safe transition to pain free running, while also providing you with necessary run retraining and cues that help foster an efficient and safe running style. 

With the injury healed and you back to running pain free, we program a plan for you that ties everything in and to keep you progressing so you can continue to crush your goals, get advice and guidance when needed, recovery tools at your fingertips, and continue running pain-free!
