How Does the Runner’s Clinic Work?

A session begins with an evaluation by one of our physical therapists who have a special interest in running and the treatment and prevention of running injuries. During the session, the therapist will assess body mechanics, joint range of motion, strength, and flexibility. If you are currently recovering from an injury, your therapist will also perform an evaluation of that injury.

Your therapist will then assess your running mechanics, looking both at your static and dynamic form. At that time, he/she will work with you to determine a customized treatment program to help maximize your mechanics and performance to decrease your risk of injury.

Who Can Benefit From the Runner’s Clinic?

Our Runners Clinic helps runners of all ages and abilities; from those who are just starting out to those who are college or elite athletes. We work with individuals at all levels to help them either recover from an injury or prevent an injury from occurring in the future.

What Should I Bring With Me?

You should bring to your session:

• Current running shoes
• Orthotics or inserts if applicable
• Running clothes
• Prescription for physical therapy

How Much Does the Runner’s Clinic Cost?

Evaluations through the Runner’s Clinic will generally be billed through private insurance, as it an adjunct to treatment during your physical therapy plan of care. Please contact your health insurance company to verify coverage and benefits.
