Frequently Asked Questions About
Running Injury Treatment
Is my running form contributing to my pain?
While form can be a factor, most running injuries stem from training patterns, strength deficits, or footwear issues rather than running technique alone. Our comprehensive evaluation helps identify the true causes of your pain.
Can I continue running during treatment?
In about 90-95% of cases, yes. We typically modify your training schedule rather than stopping completely, helping you maintain fitness while addressing the injury with running physical therapy in Columbus.
Will you evaluate my training program?
Yes, we’ll review your training volume, intensity, and schedule to identify potential contributing factors and make appropriate modifications to support your recovery and goals.
What should I expect from my first visit?
Your initial evaluation includes a thorough assessment of your running mechanics, strength, and movement patterns. We’ll also analyze your footwear and develop a plan that balances recovery with maintaining your training schedule. Many patients can receive treatment during their first visit, allowing them to start feeling better immediately.
