Physical Therapy For Running Injuries: How To Stop Chronic Running Pain WITHOUT Injections, Painkillers Or A Brace

  • Are you worried why your chronic pain with running persists no matter what you do?
  • Are you frustrated with your current pain management routine?
  • Are you having to slow down or give up on running altogether?
  • Are you still looking for a long-term solution so you can get back to your favorite activity?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you are in the right place!

Many people suffer unnecessarily with running pain because they're told...

  • If you "just rest it," the pain will eventually subside.
  • It's a natural part of aging.
  • Everything will be fine if you swallow a couple of tablets.
  • The only alternative is to stop running.

The Truth Is...

  • Resting will not alleviate the pain you experience from running; it may give you temporary relief, but as soon as you start running again, the pain sets in once more.
  • It's not typical to get running ailments as you age!
  • Pain medications are habit-forming, hazardous, and may induce a variety of other health issues.
  • Your family doctor may recommend changing your runs, but that's not the only option.

How It Works

Inspire Physical Therapy & Performance's 3-Step Process To Get You Back Doing What You Enjoy

1. Find The Real Cause Of Your Pain

We'll take you through a comprehensive biomechanical assessment and identify the cause of your problem. Then we'll explain what must be done to get you back to full speed and back to the activities you enjoy.

2. Fix Your Problem Areas

We'll develop a treatment plan that will be tailored specifically to you and your goals. This will ultimately allow us to get you stronger, pain-free, and on track to reach your goals more effectively and efficiently.

3. Stay At Peak Performance

Once we get you back to exercising pain free, we'll implement strategies to get you performing at an even higher level than you were prior to your injury. We'll also implement strategies to "bulletproof" your body.

Note: This Free Total Body Diagnostic session is something that we offer to people who are very nervous or skeptical about Physical Therapy - unsure of its benefits or if it is right for them. If that sounds like you, then please start with a Free Total Body Diagnostic session so that we can work with you to find out what is wrong and what can be done - without any financial risk on your part.

What Other People Just Like You Are Saying

Just a few of our 60+ five-star reviews.

Alan is a true pro. I appreciate his methodical approach. As an athlete, I'm looking to get back to where I was and avoid injury in the future. He gets that and is happy to see me achieve that. Alan also isn't looking to keep you coming back. His goal is to show you what you need to do and then let you do it. A visit or two in many cases is more than enough. But even though he tries to keep his visits with you limited, he has always followed-up with me multiple times down the road. One of the best part is Inspire is the convenience. Alan does house calls and has even offered to visit my work office around my schedule. It's so handy compared to a visit to a traditional PT clinic.

At Inspire Physical Therapy & Performance, We Help Runners Get Back On The Course.

It can be very confusing to decide exactly what you should do if you have pain with running. You've likely heard a lot of options such as...

  • A family member tells you to try a certain stretch
  • A colleague mentions going to a massage therapist
  • The "experts" on YouTube recommend doing a certain exercise
  • A friend suggests going to a yoga class
  • All while the doctor tells you to rest

Most of us get caught up in the struggle to choose what to do next when confronted with so many alternatives... What happens if you make the wrong decision?

When It Comes To Solving Something Serious Like A Running Injury...

Make sure to do your research before trusting someone with your health - it could be the difference between a properly done surgery or being addicted to painkillers for the rest of your life.

The most crucial step in stopping your pain and ensuring it never returns is receiving the least-invasive, most natural treatment possible.

If you want to heal completely, you must not only treat the pain itself but also identify the root cause of that pain. Only then can you find a PERMANENT solution.

At Inspire PT & Performance We've Created A 3 Step Process To Get Rid Of Your Pain AND Make Sure It Doesn't Come Back Again.

STEP #1 - WE WANT TO LISTEN TO YOUR STORY

Our medical system is in a bad place. You wait weeks, if not months, for an appointment, only to be rushed off the phone by the doctors before they have to go see the next patient. You sit there wondering what just happened as they rush off to the next patient. Even physical therapy clinics operate this way. They're not attentive; they're fast-paced; and your therapist doesn't have time to really treat where you hurt.

This is why our first step is to listen to your story.We understand that no two people are alike when it comes to running pain, so we'll start by having an open discussion and giving you the opportunity to tell your tale. That way, not just in terms of your body, but also how it's affecting your life.

STEP #2 - FIND OUT WHY THE PAIN WITH RUNNING STARTED

Many people have a medical diagnosis for what's wrong with their bodies. It might have been given to them by their doctor, tested, or discovered through online research. You could have been advised that you had no alternative but to rest, take painkillers, or consider surgery.

Those things, on occasion, provide momentary respite, but they don't address the underlying cause of the problem.

No two runners experience pain in the same way. The root cause of your running pain may be different than that of another person's.

At Inspire PT & Performance, we strive to find the underlying reason for your discomfort so that not only does your pain disappear, but it stays away as well!

We understand that you still might be skeptical or unsure if physical therapy is right for you. That's why we created our Discovery Visit.

Our Discovery Visits are meant specifically for those people who are skeptical, unsure, or have even been let down in the past. During the Discovery Visit you'll find out what's wrong, how long it's going to take to fix it, and give you peace of mind that your problem can be fixed naturally!

STEP #3 - GET RID OF THE PAIN & KEEP IT FROM COMING BACK

This is when the big transformation occurs. We develop a personalized plan that allows you to......With our help, you can get back to running quickly and without fear of the pain returning....Reunite with your favorite courses....Get back to your old running habits.Our best clients are those who are motivated and ready to win back their active lifestyle.
