Why Austin Runners Need Physical Therapy
At Eastside Movement Co., we are dedicated to helping Austin runners achieve their peak performance and maintain a healthy, pain-free lifestyle. Austin, a city known for its vibrant running community and beautiful outdoor trails, is the perfect backdrop for runners of all levels to challenge themselves and embrace the joy of running.
Unfortunately, 50% of runners have a running-related injury every year. We specialize in helping injured runners efficiently overcome pain, as well as helping runners avoid injuries in the first place.
What can physical therapy help with?
Injury Prevention: Runners often struggle with a variety of injuries including shin splints, IT band syndrome, and plantar fasciitis (or fasciopathy for our fellow rehab nerds). A personalized physical therapy program can identify strength and mobility limitations, improve your running form, and address imbalances to reduce your risk of these common running injuries.
Improved Performance: Physical therapy is not just for rehabilitation; it's also about enhancing your performance. Our team at Eastside Movement Co. understands the intricacies of running mechanics and can design tailored exercise regimens that target specific muscle groups, improve flexibility, and enhance your overall running efficiency.
Rehabilitation: If you're already dealing with an injury, our skilled physical therapists can create a rehabilitation plan to help you recover quickly and safely. We'll work with you to rebuild strength, restore mobility, and gradually reintegrate you into your running routine. You can schedule a free 15 minute consultation with one of our doctors of physical therapy here.
