Running Mechanics Evaluation & Training
Running for many people is a time to quiet the mind while working the body. When a runner is injured, it not only limits their time on the road, but their time for self reflection and wellness.
Injuries are often ignored so that we can continue to run, but over time we either accept the constant nagging pain, or we reach a point where we have to stop completely.
The goal of a running mechanical evaluation is to determine the strengths and opportunities for a runner to improve their running form in a way that will limit injury, foster injury recovery, and also improve the overall efficiency of your body while you run!
This is not just for the injured runner, but any runner that wants to keep running pain free long term.
At MyPT we want to keep you on the road!
Dry Needling
Running Mechanics Evaluation & Training
Decrease Pain
Dry needling is an excellent adjunct to most other therapeutic treatments. Dry needling treatis very different from acupuncture, except for the use of acupuncture needles.
Dry needling works by placing a dry needle into a muscular "trigger point", to release the tissue. Active and latent trigger points can restrict proper movement, increase pain, and limit range of motion.
By releasing these deep restrictions, Dry needling offers a variety of benefits in chronic and acute musculoskeletal conditions.

Decrease Pain
Aches and pains are your body's way of telling you that something is wrong. So often we ignore these daily issues due to time constraints and because, "it's not that bad". This often results in chronic pain, which limits our activities and decreases our quality of life. The truth is that most people CAN feel better AND move better without medication. MyPT evaluates the "why" of chronic pain, and then develops a plan to create better habits, decrease compensations, and greatly improve your level of pain.

Common issues influenced by poor foot position include: foot pain, knee pain, hip and low back pain.
Custom orthotics are not necessary for everyone with these symptoms, but can be beneficial for some individuals to decrease pain and improve movement.
This service includes a complete biomechanical evaluation of your foot movement, a detailed physical examination and foam impression for construction of your orthotics.
