Running offers exceptional exercise benefits, demanding both mental resilience and physical strength. Unfortunately, almost all runners will encounter injuries significant enough to pause their activity. Common issues include hip and knee pain, calf muscle strains, and Achilles tendinitis. Ensuring you have comfortable, well-fitting shoes is vital for preventing these injuries, and we evaluate this aspect during your treatments at Unify PT. The most effective strategy for preventing running-related injuries is a well-rounded cross-training program, which should include resistance weight training and personalized advice from our running coach.
If you or a family member have been dealing with persistent pain for more than three weeks without improvement, a visit to a licensed physical therapist could be highly beneficial. While many aches and pains improve on their own, ongoing issues often need a professional evaluation from a musculoskeletal expert.
