We work with a wide range of running-related injuries, including knee pain, shin splints, Achilles pain, hip pain, hamstring issues, foot and ankle pain, and other overuse injuries. If running keeps bringing the same problem back, we can help figure out what may be contributing and build a plan around it.

Yes. Get Back provides running injury physical therapy in Denver for recreational runners, newer runners, and more experienced athletes who want help getting back to training without guessing their way through it.

Not always. Sometimes reducing mileage or modifying training makes sense, but complete rest is not automatically the answer. We’ll look at what you can tolerate, what needs to change, and how to keep you as active as possible while the issue improves.

Yes. Knee pain is one of the more common issues runners deal with. We may look at things like strength, training volume, running mechanics, recovery, and how your hips, knees, and ankles are handling load to figure out the best way forward.

Yes. Shin pain is often related to how much load your body is being asked to handle and how quickly that load changed. We can help you adjust training, build strength, and gradually work back toward running without just waiting around for it to disappear.

Yes. Achilles pain can be stubborn, but it usually responds better to a good loading plan than to avoiding activity forever. We can help you build strength and gradually increase what the tendon can tolerate so you can return to running more confidently.

Yes, when it is actually useful. A gait analysis can help us look at things like stride, cadence, foot contact, and overall running mechanics. We are not trying to force everyone into a “perfect” running form. We use it to help identify what may matter for your specific situation.

Strength training can help runners build more capacity to handle mileage, hills, speed work, and the repetitive stress of running. It does not make you injury-proof, but stronger runners generally have more room to tolerate training.

If pain is changing your stride, limiting your mileage, getting worse over time, or coming back every time you run, it is probably worth getting it looked at. You do not have to wait until you cannot run at all.

It depends on the injury, how long it has been going on, your current training level, and what your goals are. Some runners can keep running with modifications. Others need a more gradual return. We’ll give you a plan based on where you are instead of guessing at a timeline.

Absolutely. You do not need to be injured to benefit from a return-to-running plan. If you have been away from running for a while, we can help you rebuild mileage, strength, and conditioning without going from zero to too much too fast.

Get Back combines physical therapy, strength training, and running coaching in one place. That means we can help with the injury itself, build your strength back up, and guide the return to running instead of stopping once the pain improves.
