Training for a Marathon Shouldn't Mean Training Through Pain
You've committed to the miles, the early mornings, and the grind. But nagging pain is stealing your confidence and threatening your race day goals. Generic advice like "just rest" or "ice it" won't cut it when you have a training plan to follow.
Chronic Running Injuries
Knee pain, IT band syndrome, shin splints, or plantar fasciitis that won't go away no matter how much you stretch or foam roll.
Training Setbacks
Missing key workouts or cutting mileage because you're afraid of making the injury worse and derailing your entire race season.
Conflicting Advice
Googling symptoms, trying random YouTube exercises, and getting advice that doesn't account for your specific training load or race timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can physical therapy help with marathon training?
Physical therapy for marathon training goes beyond treating injuries. Our performance PTs help you optimize your running mechanics, address strength imbalances, improve mobility, and build a resilient body that can handle high mileage. Whether you're dealing with a current injury or want to prevent one, we create customized plans that fit your training schedule and race goals.
Do you work with insurance, or is it out-of-pocket?
Move Strong Physical Therapy is a private-pay, out-of-network clinic. This allows us to provide longer, more effective 1-on-1 sessions (60 minutes) without insurance limitations. We accept cash, check, credit card, HSA, FSA, Venmo, and PayPal. We can provide a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance provider. Many runners find that better outcomes and faster recovery make it a worthwhile investment.
How many sessions will I need before my marathon?
It depends on your injury, timeline, and training schedule. Most marathon runners see significant improvement within 6-10 visits. During your free phone consultation, we'll discuss your race date and create a plan to get you to the starting line healthy and confident. We also provide 24/7 access to your PT between sessions and send weekly video exercise updates.
