Have you been told by your doctor or friends that running is bad for your knees? Do you think that if you continue to run your body won't hold up as you get older? Fortunately, totally stopping what you love to do is not the solution to your injury. Instead, finding the root cause of your injury and treating it from the ground up will get you better, faster results. You don’t have to stop running to get better!

What Our Patients Are Saying
From Persistent Running Injuries to First Place in 4 Months
"This weekend (9/11/21) I completed my first 70.3 triathlon, which included a 13 mile run as the final leg. This is after dealing off and on with calf injuries for a year and a half, which kept me from training. At the beginning of May this year, I had two virtual sessions with Ariella at District Performance Physio, where she diagnosed my issues as related to insufficient calf strength. She gave me a set of simple exercises that I completed daily for several weeks, and began slowly ramping up my running mileage. By 6 weeks I was able to complete the weekly running mileage my training plan called for, and successfully followed the plan without issue for the next 8 weeks after that.
I’m so grateful to be able to be running again! With the increased strength, and also better running form, I have confidence that with smart training and appropriate rest I can continue making gains in my running speed and endurance. I already have some goals for next season, including finishing a Half Ironman in under 5hrs.
Did I mention I placed first in my age group! Thanks to District Performance for helping make it possible.."
