Common Running Injuries We Treat

Running injuries can stem from improper form, inadequate footwear, or overuse, and they often manifest as nagging pain or discomfort that hinders your performance. At Back In Motion, we treat a wide range of running-related injuries, including:



Shin splints: Pain along the inner part of the shin caused by overuse or improper running mechanics.



Plantar fasciitis: Heel pain resulting from inflammation of the tissue connecting the heel to the toes.



Stress fractures: Small cracks in bones, often in the shin or foot, due to repetitive impact.



Achilles tendinitis: Inflammation or irritation of the Achilles tendon, often from tight calves or improper footwear.



IT band syndrome: Pain on the outer knee or thigh caused by tightness or inflammation of the iliotibial band.



Runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome): Pain around the kneecap due to misalignment or overuse.



Hamstring strains: Tears or strains in the muscles at the back of the thigh from overextension or inadequate warm-up.

No matter the injury, our goal is to identify the root cause and create a tailored plan to get you back on the road or trail.

Our Treatment Process

Our success in treating running injuries lies in our comprehensive, evidence-based approach. We combine cutting-edge technology with personalized care to address your unique needs:

Slow-Motion Video Analysis

We use a specialized camera to record your running form in slow motion. This allows us to analyze every detail of your stride, from foot strike to posture, identifying subtle inefficiencies or errors that may contribute to your injury. This level of precision goes beyond what the naked eye can see, ensuring we pinpoint the exact cause of your pain.

Thorough Physical Evaluation

Your therapist will assess your strength, flexibility, posture, and foot mechanics through a hands-on evaluation. This helps us understand how your body moves and where imbalances or weaknesses may exist.

Customized Treatment Plan

Using insights from the video analysis and physical evaluation, we design a personalized exercise and therapy program. This may include manual therapy, targeted stretches, strengthening exercises, and recommendations for proper footwear or orthotics to optimize your running form and prevent future injuries.

Our approach ensures that every treatment is tailored to your goals, whether you’re aiming to complete a marathon or enjoy a pain-free jog around Kingsford.
