Running Injuries
- Are you worried about pain that starts whenever you run, and it doesn’t go away no matter what you do?
- Are you still in pain even though you've been stretching and taking painkillers?
- Are you struggling to keep up with your running goals?
- Are you still searching for a long-term solution so you can resume your favorite runs?
- Just “rest it” and it’ll be fine (then months later they’re still suffering…).
- It’s “normal” with age.
- If you take some pills everything will be fine.
- Stopping Running is the only option
The Truth Is...
- Resting it has no long term effect. You may get a little momentary alleviation, but you'll be suffering from pain once more when you get up and move around (I'm sure you've already experienced it!).
- It's not necessarily 'typical' to sustain running injuries as you get older!
- Not only are pain pills addicting and dangerous, but they can also lead to a host of other issues with your body.
- Changing your exercises is not the only alternative. It's simply the only one your family doctor may recommend.
At Advanced Physical Therapy & Fitness, We help runners get back on the course.
It can be difficult to discern what you should do if you’re experiencing pain while running.
You’ve likely heard a lot of options such as…
- A family member tells you to try a certain stretch
- A colleague mentions going to a massage therapist
- The “experts” on YouTube recommend doing a certain exercise
- A friend suggests going to a yoga class
- All while the doctor tells you to rest
It’s difficult to pick among so many alternatives… What would happen if you made the wrong decision?
Most people find themselves stymied in their efforts to come up with the next step. They go days, weeks, months (and even years!) without taking any action.
When It Comes To Solving Something Serious Like a Running Injury…
The provider you select for your health is critical. Otherwise, you could be subject to avoidable surgery or become addicted to painkillers.
It is crucial to find the most naturalistic treatment possible to end your pain and suffering for good.
You need a provider who is not only willing to treat the pain, but also dedicated to finding out WHY the pain occurred. With this information, you will be able to discover a PERMANENT solution for your problem.
At Advanced Physical Therapy & Fitness we’ve created a 3 step process to get your pain under control and reduce the chance of it coming back!
Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story
The medical system is often times very frustrating. You can make an appointment and wait weeks or even months just to talk to the doctor for ten minutes, only to feel like you were left without answers at the end of it all.
Even many physical therapy clinics do this. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced, and your therapist doesn’t have time to actually do a thorough evaluation or bio-mechanical exam.
This is why our first step is to listen to your story.
We’ve worked with a lot of individuals who have Running pain, and we realize that no two persons are alike. Every individual has his or her own body, prior history, and varied types of suffering.
Our first step is always an open conversation so that you can tell us your story. We want to understand not only what’s going on with your body, but also the effect it has on your life.
Step #2 - Find Out WHY The Pain With Running Started
Many individuals have a medical explanation for their condition. It might be the result of blood tests or an official diagnosis, or you may have discovered it on your own.
You could have been told that your only choice was to rest, take painkillers, or start thinking about surgery.
Sometimes, those things provide short-term comfort, but they don’t tackle the source of the problem.
The source of one’s discomfort while running can vary widely from person to person.
Our goal at Advanced Physical Therapy & Fitness is to find that original cause of your pain, so not only does your pain go away, it STAYS AWAY!
We understand that you still might be skeptical or unsure if physical therapy is right for you. That’s why we created our Discovery Visit.
Our Discovery Visits are meant specifically for those people who are skeptical, unsure, or have even been let down in the past. During the Discovery Visit you’ll find out what’s wrong, how long it’s going to take to fix it, and give you peace of mind that your problem can be fixed naturally!
Step #3 - Get Rid Of The Pain & Keep It From Coming Back
This is when the big transformation occurs. We develop a personalized plan that allows you to…
…End your cycle of pain so you can get back to running.
…Return to your favorite courses with ease.
…Get back to your pre-injury running routine.
Our most successful clients are those who have the drive to win back their previous active lifestyle. (We can help you even if you feel stuck right now!)
Want to know more about our availability and costs before making any commitment to coming in?
You don’t have to sacrifice the runs you love over problems that can be fixed.
Sincerely,
Dr. Thomas Cleveland DPT, CMPT, SMT

“As an avid runner I started to experience break down in my knees and legs. I tried several “at home” remedies in order to find a quick fix, but it was obvious I needed an expert to help me out. Advanced PT and Fitness (Tom) was recommended by a fellow running and she assured me, “with his help (I’d) be fixed up in no time.” After 3 weeks of consecutive appointments, he helped reduce my knee pain from an 8-9 to a 1-2. He is extremely knowledgeable, helps make sure I understand why he asks me to do what he does with exercises and icing. I look forward to getting back on the road sooner rather than later because of his treatments and recommendations.”

“I started working with Tom a few years ago when I required PT after shoulder surgery. Well, my shoulder has long since healed but I continue to see Tom on a regular basis as part of my “maintenance program”. Being older and active means some muscle or joint is always getting aggravated or strained. It seems Tom’s therapy and the exercises he provides for me to do at home greatly reduce my recovery time. That’s really important to me because the sooner I feel better, the quicker I can return to the activities which provide so much of my life’s enjoyment. Tom communicates very well and he genuinely seems to care. I wholeheartedly would recommend Tom Cleveland to anyone looking for a highly skilled physical therapist.”
