Don't Let Running Pain Sideline Your Goals
Ignoring running injuries or form issues can lead to extended recovery times, decreased performance, and frustrating setbacks. Physical Therapy is for runners!
Minor discomfort can develop into injuries that force weeks or months away from running
Improper biomechanics may cause recurring injuries despite rest and generic stretching

See what our clients say about their journey with The Path PT
"PT with Dr Brooks has been a fantastic experience. Very quickly, he was able to diagnose my unknown issues and create a targeted plan that has gotten me back to enjoying the sport that I love! I am very grateful for his expertise, and every visit has been a positive and uplifting session.”
"I am incredibly grateful for the support and care offered at the Path Rehab and Performance. Brooks, Paulina and Cody are all incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly invested in their clients recovery."
"The Path is amazing and efficient! Dr. Brooks has been able to help me conquer my knee pain and shin splints while training for The Rut Mountain Ultra and the Columbia Gorge Half Marathon this year! I think my legs would’ve fallen off if I didn’t start with The Path! Thank you to Dr. Brooks and the team!"
"Dr. Brooks has been helping me rehab my shoulder. I couldn’t do any overhead work without pain and fatigue. My Olympic weightlifting suffered tremendously. I’ve been mostly pain free lately and things continue to improve. We’ve worked on hip and leg pain as well. Every pain I bring to Dr. Brooks starts getting better very quickly.
"Great experience! I went to Cody for shoulder pain, and within a month not only was my shoulder almost 100% better, but I also qualified to compete at a National Level for Olympic Weightlifting. Thanks for saving my arm and making me a better athlete!”
