Partner with a program uniquely designed to prevent, diagnose and treat running injuries. Work one-on-one with our team to stay on your feet and exceed your training goals.

The Runner’s Clinic is designed specifically to diagnose, treat and prevent running injuries. Our expert team of professionals, which includes sports medicine physicians, physical therapists, exercise physiologists and clinical biomechanists, work one-on-one with you to develop an individualized program to help you reach your specific running goals.

Your evaluation at the clinic will be conducted by a Sanford Sports physical therapist with expertise in recognizing running injuries, and understanding why they occur and how to prevent them. All evaluations begin by gathering information about your health and training history, including current/past athletic injuries.

The therapist will then perform a comprehensive physical examination to test for strength, flexibility, muscular imbalances and pain. We use high-speed video cameras (100 fps) in conjunction with the Simi Aktisys automated motion capture system to provide precise, quantitative biomechanical assessments for real-time biofeedback and slow-motion playback.

In many cases, biomechanical deficiencies and improper form can be identified during the evaluation. Your therapist will then work with you to improve your running technique and provide recommendations to treat existing injuries and prevent new ones from occurring.

Many women are eager to return to running after pregnancy, but the joints and tissues need strengthening, time, and support to safely handle those high demands again. This program is designed to safely progress postpartum women back to running with a customizable 6-week pelvic and core strengthening program along with supported running on an Alter G® treadmill.

The Alter G® Postpartum Return to Run Program uses anti-gravity treadmill technology to decrease the percentage of body weight experienced while walking or running. This creates a unique environment facilitating a successful return to running by:

• Progressively loading the tissues, muscles, and joints.
• Helps to reduce likelihood of injuries and pelvic floor symptoms associated with returning to activity too soon.
• Restoring gait patterns.
• Improving confidence and reducing fear that running will cause injury.
• Increasing cardiovascular endurance while minimizing total work load.
• Appropriate for runners following medical clearance for activity from their provider and with no preexisting pelvic or other musculoskeletal symptoms.

Program is supervised and progressed by a certified athletic trainer.
