Evaluations and Physical Therapy for Runners
Improvements to your running mechanics can help you run faster and more efficiently while reducing risk of injury. Whatever your level or goal, our team of specialists can help you reach your full potential.
The Running Program at Children’s Health℠ Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine helps runners move as safely and efficiently as possible. We work with all types of runners – from sprinters and cross-country runners to football and soccer players – at the middle school, high school, college and elite levels.
Using advanced video analysis and motion sensor technology, we do a comprehensive running assessment tailored to your sport. This allows us to pinpoint ways to improve your running while reducing your risk for injury. Then we’ll teach you strategies to improve your mechanics (how you move) as you work toward your running goal – whether it's running faster, farther or overcoming injuries.
