Running Injury Physical Therapy in Harrisonburg, VA
Get back on the road or trail — stronger than before.
Running injuries are frustrating, especially when you have races on the calendar and miles to log. At Valley Physical Therapy & Sports Performance in Harrisonburg, VA, we specialize in treating runners because we understand the demands of the sport, the importance of your training, and what it takes to get you back out there quickly and safely.
Why Runners Get Injured
Most running injuries aren't bad luck — they're the result of underlying movement dysfunctions, muscle imbalances, and training errors that build up over time until something breaks down. Treating the injury without addressing these root causes is why so many runners stay stuck in a cycle of recurring pain. We find the real reason you got hurt and fix it so it doesn't come back.

Our Approach to Treating Runners
We perform a thorough running gait analysis to identify the specific movement faults contributing to your injury. From there we build a personalized treatment plan combining manual therapy, dry needling, targeted strength and mobility work, and a return-to-run program designed around your specific race goals and timeline.
We Speak Runner
We're not going to tell you to just stop running. We understand that running is more than exercise — it's a lifestyle. Our goal is to keep you moving as much as safely possible throughout your recovery while building the strength and movement quality to make you a more resilient, efficient runner long term.
