Runners

Running places repetitive load on the hips, knees, feet, and tendons. Most running injuries develop gradually and are closely tied to movement patterns, strength capacity, and training volume. Addressing the root cause is key to returning to mileage without recurring pain.

How Running Shapes Our Treatment Approach

Rehab for runners focuses on understanding how you move, how you load your body, and how your training habits influence pain. Treatment is designed to keep you running when possible while improving the strength and mechanics that reduce stress on irritated tissues.

How We Treat It at Sparks PT

Running and movement assessment, progressive strength rehabilitation, and careful load management planning are central to care. When appropriate, dynamometry testing and blood flow restriction therapy help guide safe progression back to full mileage.
