Here at The Charlotte Athlete, we help runners of all abilities run stronger, faster and remain injury-free. Combining expert-level clinical skills, biomechanical analysis, technology integration, and professional-grade treatments, we have become Charlotte athletes’ go-to choice for running PT.
We understand running both physically and mentally. Physically, runners face distinct challenges due to the repetitive impact on joints and muscles. Our running PT program ensures you are moving well and training efficiently, getting ample recovery, and using proper biomechanics to both address pain in the short term and futureproof the system against injury in the long run.
From a mental standpoint, we also understand that running is a way of life. You draw energy from your runs, releasing those feel-good endorphins with every step you take. That’s why we keep you moving throughout your recovery, focusing on injury resilience, active recovery, and a total-body approach that ensures you are moving efficiently and effectively from head to toe.
