Physical Therapy for
Runners

Frustrated with traditional
physical therapy?

Personalized. Evidence-Based. Results-Driven.

Most physical therapy clinics aren’t built for runners. They’re often overbooked, under-focused, and lack the one-on-one attention runners need to recover fully and perform their best. On top of that, many physical therapists don’t run themselves, and that lack of firsthand experience shows.

​

Miles Ahead Physical Therapy and Performance is different.


Here, you’ll work one-on-one with an experienced physical therapist who is not only a specialist in running injuries, but is also a seasoned running coach and strength coach. Couple that with nearly 20 years competing in the sport, from cross country to track and field to marathons, your PT truly understands what it means to be a runner. Not just the training, but the mindset. The cold early mornings, the rainy long runs, the quiet frustrations of injury, and the deep joy that comes with progress. When you work with someone who gets it, the difference is obvious.

 

Miles Ahead provides physical therapy in our clinic, virtually, and at your home via mobile PT sessions! Contact us directly to inquire about in-home sessions!

The Miles Ahead Approach to Physical Therapy

​

No cookie cutter plans or unnecessary rest. Just runner specific rehab designed to get you back out there faster than traditional physical therapy, and keep you healthy moving forward.

​

​

 Load Based Rehab Programming

  • Stay active while healing

  • Exercises that help you heal and boost performance

  • Build up your body to tolerate the demands of running

  • Every plan is tailored to your injury, goals, and needs

​

 Hands on Treatment 

  • Dry needling, soft tissue mobilization (massage), cupping, and joint mobilization for symptom management when necessary

​

 Training Education and Return to Run Programming

  • ~80% of injuries are due to training errors

  • You'll learn how to adjust your programming to train smarter

  • Monitor pain vs soreness

  • Modify your training as opposed to just stopping

​

  Movement and Gait Analysis

  • ​We'll take a deep dive on how you run and move

  • Use this information to guide your rehab and strength programming

  • Only make minor running form adjustments if they'll make a difference. You'll get actionable takeways, not overwhelming data

​

 Go Beyond Injury

  • Our goal is to have you get back to running stronger than ever

  • Many clients choose to continue to work with us beyond rehab to continue build their durability and improve their performance
