Athlete's CareRunner's Program

A specialized, science-driven program designed to address the unique needs of runners at all levels, from beginners to elite athletes. This program focuses on injury recovery, injury prevention, performance enhancement, and long-term musculoskeletal health.

• Unsure how to train for a 10k?

• What’s better - treadmill or outdoors?

• How many days per week should you be running?

• Should you be rotating shoes?


We can help answer all of your questions so that you feel confident lacing up and tackling your goals one day at a time. 

We are able to bill directly to most insurance companies on your behalf.  Not sure if you’re covered?

Give us a call and we will direct you to the appropriate resources to find out.

Trust your care to experts who speak the runner's language

The Athlete's Care Runner’s Program equips runners with the tools and knowledge to heal, train smarter, and achieve their running goals while maintaining long-term health.

We speak the runner’s language.

Running is a high-impact, repetitive activity with unique biomechanical and physiological stresses.They understand mileage, workouts, race goals, shoe choices, and the mental side of being sidelined to create a more supportive and relevant recovery experience.

We offer tailored plans.

A running-specific clinician designs recovery plans that keep you running or safely return you to your sport, using run-specific progressions instead of generic rehab protocols.

We help prevent re-injury.

By improving form, optimizing training, and correcting imbalances, a running-savvy clinician can reduce the risk of future injuries.

We can identify root causes.

General PT's may treat symptoms, but a running-specialized PT can analyze gait, footwear, training load, and form to find the cause of the injury - not just the result.

What does a video-recorded gait analysis look like? Watch it here!

Pain isn't normal. Taking care of an injury is an important part of self-care.

Book a session with our team today and take the next step towards being a healthy, strong, injury-free runner.
