Services  Runners Program


The Running Physio at Athlete’s Care is a specialized, science-driven program designed to address the unique needs of runners at all levels, from beginners to elite athletes. This program focuses on injury recovery, injury prevention, performance enhancement, and long-term musculoskeletal health.

This program is ideal for: 

  • Runners recovering from acute or chronic injuries

  • Those looking to improve running efficiency and prevent future injuries

  • Athletes preparing for marathons, ultramarathons, or other competitive events

  • Casual runners seeking to build sustainable running habits

Our Runner’s Program equips runners with the tools and knowledge to heal, train smarter, and achieve their running goals while maintaining long-term health.

Why is it important for injured runners to work with a running-specific expert?

Every clinician in our Runner’s Program has additional training in diagnosing and treating running-related injuries. 

  • We understand the demands of running. Running is a high-impact, repetitive activity with unique biomechanical and physiological stresses. A clinician trained in running knows how to assess and treat injuries specific to the sport.

  • We can identify root causes. General PT's may treat symptoms, but a running-specialized PT can analyze gait, footwear, training load, and form to find the cause of the injury - not just the result.

  • We offer tailored plans. A running-specific clinician designs recovery plans that keep you running or safely return you to your sport, using run-specific progressions instead of generic rehab protocols.

  • We help prevent re-injury. By improving form, optimizing training, and correcting imbalances, a running-savvy clinician can reduce the risk of future injuries.

  • We speak the runner’s language. They understand mileage, workouts, race goals, shoe choices, and the mental side of being sidelined to create a more supportive and relevant recovery experience.
