running rehab

At Cloudline Physical Therapy, we are dedicated to helping you restore strength, function, and confidence through specialized Running Rehabilitation. Running-related injuries—caused by overuse, biomechanical issues, or training errors—can significantly impact your performance and quality of life. Our team of expert clinicians delivers compassionate, evidence-based care designed to reduce pain, prevent re-injury, and get you running stronger and smarter.

What Is Running-Related Injury or Dysfunction?

Running-related injuries stem from repetitive stress, imbalances, and changes in training or terrain. Common causes include:

  • Overtraining or abrupt training increases

  • Poor or worn-out footwear

  • Muscle imbalances or weaknesses

  • Limited flexibility or joint mobility

  • Faulty running mechanics

  • Insufficient cross-training or strength work

  • Previous injuries or incomplete recovery

  • Lack of proper warm-up and cooldown

  • Uneven or hard running surfaces

  • Structural or gait inefficiencies

These factors can cause pain, tightness, and reduced function. Without proper care, minor aches can develop into plantar fasciitis, shin splints, IT band syndrome, patellofemoral pain, Achilles tendinitis, or stress fractures.

FAQs

What happens in a running rehab session?
You’ll work through manual therapy, strength training, gait retraining, mobility drills, and running-specific exercises. A home program and regular re-evaluations ensure progress toward your goals.

How do I know if I need running rehab?
If you have pain, altered mechanics, recurring injuries, or performance setbacks, a running rehab assessment can address root causes and help you recover.

Can I still run during rehab?
Often, yes. We use a modified “run-smart” approach—adjusting mileage, intensity, or surfaces to keep you active and healing safely.
