RUNNING

Running is by far the most complex movement that is intrinsic to humans. A thorough video analysis and clinical exam are the bare minimum needed to start addressing running challenges. Our clinicians are experienced runners who have undergone advanced training in the biomechanical assessment of running. We have done thousands of running assessments, yet continue to immerse ourselves in the science of running, and develop new methods of assessment and highly targeted solution strategies. You will not find a team that is better suited to solving your running issues than right here at Prevail PT! We serve beginning runners, professionals, and all abilities in between.
