Running Injuries
Do You Have an Injury and Find It Challenging to Resume Running?
A Personal Message From Myomuv Running Physical Therapist
- Do you have concerns about a running-related injury that persists despite ample rest?
- Are you feeling disheartened by the lack of relief from painkillers, massages, or stretching exercises, and instead, your injury seems to be worsening?
- Do you find yourself needing to decrease your running pace or completely halt your running routine?
- Are you currently seeking a sustainable solution that can help you resume running both in the present and in the future?
If you responded positively to any of these queries, then you’ve landed in the correct spot!
Many people tend to believe that a running-related injury is insignificant and that it will resolve on its own. Additionally, they may attribute the injury to tripping or claim that it’s a typical ailment that all runners experience at some point.
If this is your situation, rest assured that you’re not alone, and we frequently encounter this type of scenario.
In reality, running injuries are among the most prevalent issues we encounter at our clinic!
Numerous Patients With Running-Related Injuries Who Visit Myomuv Are Frequently Advised Beforehand…
- "Just take a break and it'll resolve itself" (when in reality, the pain may persist for months).
- "It's expected as you get older."
- "Taking medication will solve the problem."
- "The only solution is to modify your running routine."
The Truth About Running Injuries Is:
- This advice has little impact. Although it may offer fleeting, minor relief, once you resume physical activity, you'll still likely experience pain and stiffness from your injury (you've probably encountered this before!).
- Experiencing additional running-related injuries as you age is not natural!
- You don't need to rely on pain medication indefinitely to enjoy running. There are alternative options that can enable you to run painlessly and without the worry of further injury!

I came to Myomuv nearly 9 months post hip surgery, and truthfully, rather frustrated with my prior care and lingering pain I was still experiencing. The pain kept me from returning to my active lifestyle in the capacity I was hoping and left me feeling defeated. Dr. Bryan and I were on the same page from my very first assessment. Bryan, and the whole Myomuv team– truly take the time to listen to your struggles, future goals, and make you feel seen and heard at each apt. Within a month, my pain lessened, and everything progressed in a positive direction from there. I am now pain free, running well again, AND feel noticeably stronger during my runs. With Bryan’s direction and guidance, I am convinced I will be a stronger and better runner than I was prior to surgery. Thankful for the positive atmosphere at Myomuv and know they will be cheering for me as I tackle future goals. Next time I will skip the hassle, and come straight to Myomuv for all my PT needs. Cannot recommend enough!
- Brian H
I struggled for months running through knee and hip pain. It finally got to the point I couldn’t run anymore. After meeting Bryan he made a plan and he had me slowly running again in 3 weeks. After a couple months I was accomplishing goals I didn’t think would be possible before I met Bryan. He is very attentive and detailed. I would highly recommend his help if any of my friends were ever in need.
- Emily W
For months I struggled with hip pain that wasn’t getting better on its own. It was affecting everyday movement and I was no longer able to run without intense pain. Myomuv diagnosed the issue, helped me gain strength over time, adapted the plan as needed, and helped me get back to a life of minimal to no pain while doing the activities I love. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them! They are knowledgeable, patient, and very fun to work with. Highly recommend!
Running Injuries -From Pavement To Recovery- Understanding & Overcoming
Why Do Runners Get Injured?
Running may seem simple and natural, but the repetitive impact can put considerable stress on the body. This stress is normal. We are meant to run. However, it’s more about how PREPARED we are to run. This makes runners susceptible to a variety of injuries. Here are the most common causes:
Four SIMPLE Tips To Improve Your Running
Runners often find themselves hitting a plateau. They see minimal to no progress even though they have been running for months, years even. These tips are so simple but they are so effective to help you overcome that 5K, 10K, half marathon or full marathon time you can’t seem to reach. Running has a lower barrier to entry. It’s made for everyone of all ages, all body types, all fitness levels, skill levels, and purposes. We can run for health. We can run for performance. We can run for recreation. We can run from something or run towards something.
