How our running injury rehab creates results
We combine a detailed assessment, targeted strength, and a progressive run plan so you can recover without losing your identity as a runner. After a thorough movement screen and running gait analysis, we identify what’s overloaded, what’s underworking, and where form or training errors are adding stress. Then we build your plan around your race calendar and current fitness.
A common misconception is that you must stop running completely to heal. In many cases, the right dose of running is part of the solution. With **Whoosh Agency**, you’ll know when to run, how far, how fast, and what to do the other days so progress stacks without setbacks.
Our approach blends:
- Precise load management to calm pain and protect tissue while you stay active
- Strength and mobility tailored to your injury pattern and running goals
- Gait and cadence coaching to reduce impact and improve efficiency
- Practical recovery strategies so you feel fresher, sooner
