For Runners

Run Smart is designed to help runners improve running performance or to receive a running specific rehabilitation for running injuries.

Our experts will conduct a comprehensive evaluation that includes strength, flexibility and biomechanics assessments as well as a comprehensive videotaped running gait analysis and review.

Using this data, we will tailor recommendations about running technique, strengthening and stretching programs, shoe selection and training progressions to meet individual needs. The Run Smart program includes an initial assessment with follow-up visits as needed depending on individual goals and recommendations.
