Our Approach to Rehabilitating Injured Runners in Livonia, Ferndale, and Detroit

Running is a demanding activity that places repetitive stress on various parts of the body, including the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Common running injuries include:

• Shin splints
• IT band syndrome
• Achilles tendonitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Stress fractures
• Runner’s knee & more

These injuries can result from factors such as overuse, poor running mechanics, inadequate footwear, muscular imbalances, or sudden increases in training intensity or mileage.

Our team of sports physical therapists has the expertise and knowledge to assess your specific injury, identify the underlying causes, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Our goal is not only to address the immediate injury but also to address any contributing factors to prevent future recurrences.

Our Process

We begin by conducting a thorough evaluation of your injury and your running mechanics. We examine your gait, assess your range of motion, strength, flexibility, and perform specialized tests to identify any imbalances or weaknesses. This assessment allows us to gain a deep understanding of your condition and develop a targeted treatment plan. Based on our evaluation findings, we create an individualized treatment plan that focuses on your specific needs and goals. Our treatment approach may include a combination of hands-on manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercises, stretching, strengthening exercises, neuromuscular retraining, and proprioceptive training. We will guide you through each step of your recovery, ensuring proper progression and gradual return to running activities.

Corrective Exercise and Running Mechanics

We work closely with you to analyze your running form and identify any issues that may contribute to your injury. Through targeted exercises and drills, we help you improve your running technique, optimize your biomechanics, and prevent future injuries. We work in a phased approach to returning to running after injury. Our team will guide you through a structured program that gradually reintroduces running activities based on your body’s response and tolerance. We monitor your progress closely, making any necessary modifications along the way to ensure a safe and effective return to running.
