Running Free: How Physical Therapy Can Help You Conquer Pain

Running, jogging, and walking are great physical activities that promote wellness and fitness. But as you engage in these activities, you may experience pain or discomfort that could lead to frustration and hinder your progress.

"A study reports that up to 80% of runners experience some form of injury each year, and this often leads to reduced performance and even forced stopping of the activities."

However, what if we told you that there is a solution to this problem? Physical therapy can help you conquer pain and allow you to keep running free. At One Accord Physical Therapy, we are committed to empowering clients to embrace an evidence-based movement culture that provides the knowledge, expert care, and resources needed to live life pain-free.
