Many runners come to us after dealing with persistent injuries, slow recovery, or failed attempts at self-improvement. If you've tried different running shoes, stretching routines, or even worked with a coach but still struggle with pain or inefficiency, our advanced approach can make all the difference.

Many runners struggle with performance setbacks or nagging injuries that prevent them from training consistently. If any of these sound familiar, we can help:

Recurring injuries such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, or runner’s knee

Fatigue and inefficient running mechanics leading to slower pace and race times

Pain or tightness in the hips, knees, or ankles after long runs

Feeling “stuck” at a plateau—unable to increase speed or endurance

Unbalanced stride or uneven wear on shoes—signs of inefficient movement

If you’ve tried new running shoes, online training plans, or even traditional PT but still struggle with pain, stiffness, or inefficiency, our specialized running performance program can help.

Running shouldn’t come with constant setbacks. This quick, practical guide reveals the five most common injuries that impact runners—along with expert strategies to prevent them.

"Dr. Wolfe at Mile High Therapy is the best! As a track athlete at Portland State University, I’ve seen other physical therapists who mostly just gave me stretches and exercises to do at home. Dr. Wolfe actually took the time to treat me and focus on what I needed. His needling is incredible, and he made sure I left each session feeling better, not just with homework to do. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!"

"My name is Osaze. I am currently a Track and field athlete for the US Virgin Islands, national team and Seattle University track and field team. Dr. Wolfe has been a blessing with his insight and knowledge in the difficulties that I have had dealing with injury. I truly trust him more than anyone I have worked with in the past because of his excellence. I was able to finally get back to training properly after dealing with setback after setback due to injury. Not only I have been granted the blessing of his knowledge, but former athletes who I know have also received exceptional results. I finally feel as though I can now get back on track and hope to continue to break my national record."

"As an athlete, the recovery cycle can often be frustrating, but my experience at Mile High Physical Therapy was an absolute game-changer. The expertise, personalized care, and encouragement made me feel confident about achieving results like never before. By the end of my recovery, the only thing that hurt was the thought of not experiencing their exceptional treatment and dedication again. Highly recommend for anyone serious about their progress!"
