Run Stronger, Run Further, Run Pain-Free: Overcome IT Band, Knee Pain & Plantar Fasciitis
Are you a runner who struggles with persistent IT band pain, knee discomfort, or plantar fasciitis? These injuries can hold you back from achieving your running goals—especially when you're trying to increase your weekly mileage. If you're limited to 15-20 miles a week due to pain or discomfort, it’s time to take action.

 

We provide a performance-based physical therapy approach to help runners like you:
Run without pain
Increase your mileage safely
Run stronger, longer, and injury-free

​

​

Overcome IT Band & Knee Pain: Effective Solutions for Runners
If your IT band and knees hurt whenever you increase your mileage, you're not alone. The iliotibial (IT) band can become tight, inflamed, and cause pain on the outside of the knee, especially for long-distance runners. Knee pain is often a result of muscle imbalances or improper running mechanics, which can be addressed with targeted physical therapy.


Our Approach:
Mobility & Soft Tissue Work: Techniques such as foam rolling and manual therapy can help reduce tension in the IT band and alleviate knee pain.
Strengthening Exercises: Targeting the hips, glutes, and core can improve running mechanics, reducing stress on your knees and IT band.


Running Form Assessment: A biomechanical analysis helps identify poor form that may be contributing to pain, ensuring a more efficient and pain-free running technique.

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment for Runners: Say Goodbye to Foot Pain
Does plantar fasciitis flare up whenever you run bridges or increase your mileage? This common foot injury causes stabbing heel pain and can severely limit your ability to train. However, with the right approach, you can overcome plantar fasciitis and run pain-free.


Our Approach:
Foot Strengthening & Mobility: Exercises that strengthen the small muscles of the foot, like toe curls and towel scrunches, can relieve pressure from the plantar fascia and prevent flare-ups.
Gradual Mileage Progression: We’ll work with you to increase your weekly mileage gradually, ensuring that your body adapts and avoids overuse injuries like plantar fasciitis.
Proper Footwear Recommendations: Our experts will help you find the best shoes for your foot type and provide advice on orthotics if necessary.

​

Increase Your Running Mileage Without Injuries
Many runners struggle to increase their weekly mileage beyond 15-20 miles due to nagging injuries like IT band syndrome, knee pain, or plantar fasciitis. Proper strength training, mobility work, and injury prevention strategies are key to building mileage safely.


Our Approach:
Customized Running Programs: We’ll create a personalized training plan based on your injury history and current fitness level to help you safely increase your mileage.
Cross-Training & Recovery: Cross-training (swimming, cycling) and effective recovery strategies (foam rolling, stretching, rest) ensure that your body can handle increased training demands.
