INJURED RUNNERS

DEALING WITH A RUNNING INJURY AND STRUGGLING TO GET BACK ON TRACK?

  • Are you finding it difficult to recover from a running injury despite taking time to rest?

  • Frustrated that painkillers, massages, or stretching haven’t provided lasting relief, and your injury keeps getting worse?

  • Have you had to cut back or completely stop your running routine?

  • Are you seeking a long-term solution that will help you return to running and stay injury-free for the future?

IF ANY OF THESE SOUND FAMILIAR, YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!

It’s common to think a running injury will go away on its own or it’s just part of being a runner.

If that’s how you’re feeling, you're not alone. We hear this from runners all the time.

Running injuries are actually one of the most common issues we treat in our clinic!

Before Coming to FOCUS FIRST PT,

Many Of Our Patients have been Told…

  • “Rest and you’ll be fine.” (but months later, the pain persists…)

  • "It’s just a part of aging."

  • “Here are some meds.”

  • “You shouldn’t run anymore.”

The Truth About Running Injuries Is:

  • Rest won’t solve the issue. You may feel temporary relief, but when you run again, the pain and stiffness will return (sound familiar?).

  • It’s not your age that’s causing injuries. The biggest risk factor for injury is a previous injury. As we get older, we’ve likely accumulated small injuries over time. Over the years, these injuries can add up, leading to a higher likelihood of re-injury. The good news is with the right treatment and prevention strategies you can reduce your risk and keep running for years to come!

  • You don’t have to rely on pain medication to enjoy running. There are alternatives that allow you to run comfortably and without fear of injury.

WHEN IT COMES TO RECOVERING FROM A RUNNING INJURY…

Choosing the right healthcare provider is crucial. The right provider could help you avoid unnecessary surgery or a reliance on medications, allowing you to stay active without fear it will return.

The key is to focus on “least-invasive” treatments that address the root cause of your pain. That way, you can stop the pain for good and prevent it from coming back.

It’s essential not just to treat the pain, but to understand why the injury occurred in the first place. That’s the path to a PERMANENT solution!
