Marathon Training + Physical Therapy
Even if injury prevention isn't your top priority, physical therapy can help you improve your form and time. As they progress through physical therapy, many runners find they are going faster than ever before. Most find they have less muscle soreness and discomfort after long runs. Several even see their endurance dramatically improve. Whether you are a non-runner attempting a marathon for the first time or an experienced runner training for their thousandth race, adding physical therapy to your training program will help prevent injury, increase endurance and improve your overall form. Call our office today to schedule your consultation with our physical therapist.
Although many runners turn to physical therapy to help them heal and recover after a devastating injury, few understand the value of incorporating physical therapy into their normal training routine. When you consider what physical therapists have to offer, it's not a stretch. These highly educated medical professionals are experts in movement. Not only can they assess how you move, they can find limitations in joint and muscle strength, range of motion, balance, and gait that can predictably lead to a training injury. In other words, they can find problems before they become problems. A physical therapist can then prescribe specific exercises (including stretches, weight training and range of motion exercises) that prevent injuries from occurring.

Many running performance issues and injuries that runners suffer from are caused by poor running technique and weakness of specific muscles of the core and legs. Using Dartfish software, we analyze how you run and test out different muscles to find out if these areas are contributing to speed loss or injury.
