Don't Let Running Injuries Sideline Your Passion
Without specialized care, running injuries can lead to chronic issues, performance decline, and potentially end your running journey.
Running through pain often creates compensatory patterns that cause secondary injuries.
Generic treatment plans rarely address the specific biomechanics runners need.
Delayed running PT can extend your recovery time and jeopardize race training plans.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Real results from our physical therapy patients
"Dr. Mike, Farren, and the whole team at Steady State are INCREDIBLE! Great communicators, extremely knowledgeable, and fun to work with. I went from being unable to run more than 10 minutes without pain to running for longer and faster than I had been before my injury. Even more importantly, I left my sessions with a plan that I can stick to so I can be an even more durable runner in the seasons to come. If endurance exercise is important to you, consider Steady State appointments a worthy investment!”
"I have been working with Kelton virtually for a few weeks after being injured for over a year. I've worked with sports med docs and a local PT for over a year and made almost no progress. After just a few weeks of working with Kelton virtually and being consistent with our exercises, I had my first pain free run in months. Kelton is amazing at listening, making suggestions, but also collaborating and really asking me what I think my body needs. It's a refreshing change of pace from the usual dismissiveness we get in today's healthcare field, particularly as a woman. Cannot recommend Kelton and the team at Steady State enough if you're a runner who is injured or even for pre-hab to help prevent injury!"
"Dr. Brown has been so patient and informative to me, being my first time ever seeing a physical therapist and self taught runner. I am so glad I decided to come to Steady State. After 3 weeks I have learned so much more about my body and how to keep it healthy and injury free. I’m stronger and more resilient than ever. 10/10"
"I started seeing Mike a few weeks ago for a strained muscle and it has been the best PT experience of my life. He’s been incredibly thoughtful about my recovery plan and once I started feeling better he created a strength program for me to be proactive moving forward. The best part is that you’re 1:1 with your PT the whole appointment at Steady State, they don’t go off to check in on other patients while you’re there. 11/10 would recommend.”
"Working with Steady State has been a really positive experience! I am 1.5 months into my journey, tending to some recurring running injuries that I never fully understood before, with the help of Dr. Robyn Waugh. I wish I had started working with Steady State when my issues first arose (almost 3 years ago now). Even this early, I can tell that Robyn and I are addressing my weaknesses and imbalances. It's incredibly empowering to feel stronger, learn more about my body, and work towards my goals with Robyn's help! I look forward to seeing Robyn and Farren at each visit, and everyone at the practice is so nice and welcoming.”
