Running Injury
Physical Therapy

Whether training for the Chicago Marathon or just enjoying the occasional jog, all runners can agree that completing your run that day leads to a great feeling. Running offers many great physical and mental health benefits. However, multiple recent studies have found that more than half of runners will get injured every year.

What Causes Most Running Injuries and How Can Physical Therapy Help?

When you experience pain from a running injury, the injury is often in a different area than the pain. For example, the most common running injury is Runner's knee, and this injury is due to weakness in the core, hips and improper running form. Our team at Flow Physical Therapy can help treat this and many other injuries, strengthen the correct muscles, and teach you the best exercises and stretches to ensure they do not become chronic issues.
