This work blends running-specific rehab, strength training, and training decision support into one ongoing process. Sessions focus on understanding what’s driving symptoms, building tissue capacity, and making smart adjustments that help you keep running now while setting you up to run well long term. ![A Portland Maine physical therapist reviewing a runner’s plan on a laptop.](https://www.steadystatehealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/230505-BDoscher-SteadyState-85-1.jpg?width=900&height=600&name=230505-BDoscher-SteadyState-85-1.jpg) ## Who Virtual Running PT tends to work well for: Virtual works best when the running itself is the thing being managed - the training, the load, the decisions week to week. If a few of these sound like you, it is probably a good fit. ![A Steady State physical therapist filming a runner on the treadmill in Portland, Maine.](https://www.steadystatehealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/230505-BDoscher-SteadyState-88.jpg?width=900&height=600&name=230505-BDoscher-SteadyState-88.jpg) - ### Runners who have training goals they care about You don’t need to race professionally. You do need to value your running and want your training decisions to support it over time. - ### Runners who like understanding the “why” behind decisions Sessions include clear explanations around training changes, rehab progressions, and recovery choices so things make sense outside of appointments. - ### Runners dealing with running-specific injuries This often includes tendon overload, bone stress injuries, and knee, foot, or hip pain that shows up primarily with running. - ### Runners who have tried PT before Especially runners whose prior rehab felt disconnected from running mechanics, training load, or return-to-run planning. - ### Runners who want an active approach to long-term running health The work centers on building tissue capacity and decision-making skills that support consistent running over many years. - ### Runners balancing training with real-life constraints Work demands, family responsibilities, sleep variability, and limited time are all part of the planning process. - ### Runners returning from injury who want to rebuild confidence This includes both physical readiness and gradually restoring trust as training volume and intensity increase. - ### Runners who want their run coach, strength coach, and PT to be the same person Having one provider oversee training, strength work, and rehab helps everything move in the same direction. ## Who Virtual Running PT may not be the best for: - **Someone looking for a quick fix or a provider to “fix” them** Progress depends on shared decision-making and consistent follow-through. - **Someone who isn’t willing to put in the work between sessions** Strength training, running adjustments, and follow-up work all matter. - **Someone who isn’t open to addressing contributing life factors** Sleep, fueling, stress, and overall recovery capacity often influence how well running-related issues improve and stay stable.

I've worked with him for the past few months, virtually, and his level of genuine care is above and beyond, even from across a computer screen. He's also the first PT who has helped me navigate training through a soft tissue setback (achilles) - having a PT who understands the nuances of training, mileage, and intensity distribution was incredibly impactful to help get me to a place where I wanted to be with my training." > > Mary J > "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." > > Rebecca L > "I was referred to Steady State by a fellow runner, and after my initial consultation, I immediately felt confident they were the right fit to help me get healthy again. Their option for virtual physical therapy was incredibly convenient with my busy schedule." > > Adam P > "I worked virtually with Kelton & Jesse in their Durable Achilles program. They provided a supportive experience that held me accountable and helped me make progress with my chronic achilles issues. Can't recommend them enough." > > Dave D > "I came to Steady State just over a year ago with Achilles pain that significantly disrupted my training. Jesse was tremendously helpful in creating a PT program that helped to resolve the pain, prioritizing long-term strength and performance. Since then, our virtual work together has been instrumental in mitigating flare ups, offering flexibility and consistent communication." > > Debra B Next step ## Ready to get started?
