Common Running Injuries We Treat
Running injuries rarely occur because of a single problem. Most injuries develop from a combination of training load, strength deficits, mobility restrictions, and movement patterns.

Patellofemoral Pain
Syndrome
(Runners' Knee)
IT Band Syndrome
Achilles Tendinopathy
Foot Pain
If pain is preventing you from training consistently, we can help identify the root cause and create a plan to get you back on the road, trail, or track.
