More about running injuries: 

Research indicates around 75% of runners will become injured within a year's time. Runners have specialized needs because of the high demands of their sport. It is my experience that runners both want and need more than the average physical therapy clinic can offer or provide to them. When you are on your third trial of Physical Therapy in the last year or two at a general clinic with the same problems resurfacing, it's time to try more specific approaches. 

Have you suffered from a running injury and been told simply to "stop running" in order to fix the problem? More often than not, this is the wrong treatment approach and can lead to further injury. Treat the problems, not the symptoms, and you will have a better chance at returning to the sport with your normal training volume. 

+ What makes the running injury treatment process at Mountain Ridge Physical Therapy unique?

Here, your running injury evaluation and treatment outcome is the result of a combination of several factors:

  • licensed clinical experience as a Physical Therapist since 2008
  • fitness and rehabilitation industry experience since 2000
  • competitive running and sport experience since 1994
  • clinical expertise
  • new technology
  • recent research findings

Having had various running injuries myself over the years I understand what it is like to lose the ability to run. I want to get you back to the sport you love and eliminate problem areas before they become chronic issues that prevent you from running or force you to reduce your mileage.

The primary goal at Mountain Ridge Physical Therapy is to optimize your health and fitness as I strive to not only help you become a better runner but a better overall athlete who is more resistant to injury.

I expect the overall evaluation process to be the most thorough you would ever receive for a running injury in this region. The point is not for you to run on a treadmill and point out problems with X, Y, and Z." The point is to look at the variety of factors that cause you to run with a certain pattern and determine if those are normal for you or not. If they are not within normal ranges then we can address them quickly and effectively.
