Running injuries · Farmers Branch & North Dallas
# Physical therapy for runners
Every time you build mileage, the same thing flares up. You rest, it calms down, you start again, and it comes right back.
That's not bad luck, and it doesn't mean running is bad for you. It usually means your body doesn't have the capacity yet for what you're asking of it. We find out why, then build a body that can handle the miles.

What we treat
## Running injuries we treat
Where it hurts is rarely where it started. We look at the whole runner, not just the sore spot.
### Knee pain
Runner's knee, patellar tendinopathy and IT band pain. The knee usually takes the blame for what the hip and foot aren't doing.
### Achilles pain
Achilles tendinopathy and calf pain that shows up with speed work, hills or higher mileage. Tendons need progressive load, not just rest.
### Hip and groin pain
Groin strains, hip flexor pain and deep hip pain that tightens up mid run. These often come from how the pelvis and trunk control each stride.
### Shin splints
Pain along the shin that builds with every run. It's usually a sign the lower leg is absorbing more load than it's ready for.
We also treat plantar fasciitis, stress reaction recovery, and hip and low back pain in runners. [See everything we treat →](https://www.revenantpt.com/what-we-treat?hsLang=en)
Your evaluation
## What happens in a running evaluation
1
### We don't start on a treadmill
There's more useful information in how you move as a whole than in a slow motion video of your stride.
2
### We map how you move
Your movement patterns, coordination and capacity, so we have a full picture of your movement profile.
3
### You leave with a roadmap
Why you're having symptoms, what's actually driving them, and a clear plan back to running. Treadmill work can come later, once we know what to look for. [See what’s in a running analysis →](https://www.revenantpt.com/running-analysis?hsLang=en)
Our take
## Why most running rehab falls short
1
### It's too specific
It zeroes in on the sore spot and hands you a few exercises for it.
2
### Runners don't break down from one weak muscle
They break down because the whole body can't handle the demand.
3
### Strength comes first
Runners need to strength train more, and train comprehensively. A more capable body handles more miles, more speed and more race days.
That's the goal here: not just getting you out of pain, but making you a more durable runner.
One runner's story
## Back to marathon racing in 2 to 3 months
A marathoner came in with a serious groin injury that kept him from racing. We rebuilt his strength and capacity from the ground up. Within 2 to 3 months he was back to marathon racing. He was strength training more, running less volume, and getting better results than before.
Reviews
## What runners say
5.0 ★★★★★ from 90+ Google reviews
“I am an amateur marathon runner and want to run all 50 states… After my initial session I was provided a pre run movement plan and have been executing that plan and have even run a marathon without the pain.”
**Theo**
Marathon runner
“I had been dealing with ongoing hip pain for a few years that would flare up periodically, especially after longer runs… One orthopedic doctor even labeled it as fibromyalgia… he actually connected the dots and realized my pain was likely coming from compensation patterns from a previous injury… my pain hasn't returned.”
**Berkley P.**
Runner, hip pain
“I had been dealing with multiple chronic ankle/knee issues from running and had tried every treatment imaginable with temporary relief but not any long term change… Not only is my pain gone, but my performance on runs has gotten significantly better even compared to before the injuries.”
**Edward N.**
Runner, ankle and knee pain

FAQ
## Frequently asked questions
### Do I have to stop running?
It depends on how irritable your symptoms are. If pain only shows up during or after runs and settles by the next morning, you can usually keep running while we adjust volume and intensity. If it's changing how you run, making stairs or everyday movement painful, hurting at rest, or you need medication to get through it, we pull back first and rebuild before loading running again. Your evaluation tells us exactly where you fall.
### Do you do a treadmill gait analysis?
Not at first. How you move globally tells us more than how you run on a treadmill. Treadmill work can come later, once we know what we're looking for.
### How is this different from a running store gait analysis?
A running store looks at your stride to recommend shoes. We look at how your whole body moves and handles load, to find why you keep getting hurt.
### Do I need to strength train?
Yes. Comprehensive strength training is one of the most effective ways to make running injuries stop coming back. We build it around your running, not instead of it.
### Do you work with marathon and trail runners?
Yes, from first 5K to marathon, trail, ultra and Hyrox.
### Do you take insurance?
No. Revenant is cash-based and out-of-network, so every session is 60 minutes, one-on-one. Superbills are available on request.
