How Physical Therapy Can Help Runners

Running is one of the most popular forms of exercise, with more than 40 million runners in the United States alone. However, over 45% of these runners experience at least one overuse injury during their training. A staggering 90% of these injuries affect areas such as the toes, feet, ankles, legs, knees, and hips. Many of these injuries are preventable with the right approach to movement mechanics, strength training, and proper footwear.

Common running injuries include:

  • Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome)
  • Achilles Tendinitis
  • Hamstring Injuries
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Shin Splints
  • Iliotibial (IT) Band Syndrome
  • Stress Fractures

While running injuries can be common, most are non-contact injuries and largely preventable with proper training, body mechanics, and attention to form.
