Common Running Injuries We Treat
Our running physical therapists treat a variety of injuries that are common among endurance athletes. Below are just some of the injuries that we often see and treat.
IT Band Syndrome
A common overuse injury where the iliotibial (IT) band becomes irritated, causing pain on the outside of the knee—especially during longer runs or downhill running.
Calf Strain
A muscle injury in the lower leg that causes tightness, sharp pain, or weakness during push-off while running, commonly from sudden increases in speed or mileage.
Runner’s Knee
A broad term for pain around or behind the kneecap, typically caused by poor hip control, quad weakness, or repetitive stress during running.
Hamstring Strain
A muscle injury in the back of the thigh that causes pain or tightness during running, sprinting, or hills, often due to fatigue or poor load tolerance.
Low Back Pain
Discomfort or stiffness in the lower back that can affect running mechanics, commonly linked to poor load management, core control, or hip mobility restrictions.
Hip Flexor / Groin Strain
Pain in the front of the hip or inner thigh caused by muscle strain or overuse, often aggravated by speed work, hills, or longer stride lengths.
Shin Splints
Pain along the front or inner edge of the shin caused by repetitive impact, training errors, or poor load management, often appearing early in a training cycle.
Achilles Tendinitis
Irritation of the Achilles tendon that causes stiffness and pain near the heel, often worse in the morning or at the start of runs and linked to overload or poor mechanics.
Stress Fracture
A small crack in the bone caused by repetitive impact and inadequate recovery, often presenting as deep, localized pain that worsens with continued running.
Gluteal Tendinopathy / Hip Pain
Pain on the side or back of the hip caused by tendon irritation, often worsened with running, prolonged standing, or lying on one side.

FAQs

We are considered an out-of-network (OON) provider. We do not contract directly with any insurance companies, but will provide the appropriate invoices and documentation upon request if you would like to pursue reimbursement directly with your insurance company. It is up to you to contact your insurance company to understand your out of network benefits.
Insurance based models usually require you to come multiple times a week for several months while we typically see our patients once a week, progressing towards more time in between visits. Patients in the insurance model can find themselves paying higher prices for less quality care before their co-pay kicks in. As an OON provider, we aren’t limited to only treating the symptomatic area but are able to address the whole body in order to better get to the root of the problem. Oftentimes, you will find our personalized treatment style will get you better faster, saving both money and time.
You can use your health savings accounts (HSA) and flex savings accounts (FSA) to pay for treatment

Be ready to talk because we want to learn about you! Your first session will be an hour long 1-on-1 session with the PT in order to discuss things such as current injuries, upcoming races, current training status, past running related injuries and much more.
We will follow that up with a comprehensive physical exam to evaluate your movement patterns, stability, strength and flexibility. From there, we will discuss these findings with you and make recommendations for continued treatment.
Our goal is to have you leave the first session with complete understanding of your symptoms which will make for a better recovery process and help you get back to running faster!

No, you can get started getting rid of your pain right now! GA has a direct access law that allows patients to see their PT without a referral from the doctor for 8 visits or 21 days, whichever comes first. You can receive a referral from your primary care physician, chiropractor or other speciality physicians in the state of GA. There are some circumstances where you can extend treatment without the referral and am happy to discuss more to see if that applies to you.
