RX MOVEMENT · Coral Gables
Most running injuries come down to load: how much, how fast, and how well your body is prepared for it. Rest alone can quiet symptoms, but it rarely fixes why they started. The right plan adjusts your training and builds the strength your running needs.
At RX MOVEMENT we look at your training history, strength, and movement, then treat the painful area with hands-on care and dry needling when appropriate. Whenever it is safe, we modify your running instead of stopping it, so you keep your fitness while you recover.
Strength is the long-term fix. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and strength coach, we build a program that carries you from rehab to your next race, all on one continuum.
What We Treat
Pain around the kneecap on hills, stairs, or longer runs.
Pain on the outside of the knee or hip as mileage builds.
Shin splints and bone stress concerns, with physician referral when needed.
Achilles tendon pain and stiffness, especially in the morning.
Heel and arch pain with the first steps of the day or after runs.
Hip, glute, and high hamstring pain that limits speed work.
Your Plan
Every plan is built by a Doctor of Physical Therapy and strength coach, and it keeps going past pain-free, all the way to performance. You'll see the same physical therapist at every visit, never switched or handed off.
Common Questions
Not always. For many running injuries we can modify your mileage, pace, or surfaces so you keep running while you recover. Some injuries, such as suspected bone stress injuries, do need a break, and we will tell you clearly if that is the case.
Bring the shoes you run in and, if you have one, a short video of yourself running. A summary of your recent training and any upcoming races helps us plan around your goals.
No. Florida law allows you to see a physical therapist directly, without a physician referral, for the first 30 days of care.
