Physical Therapy for Runners in Denver
Get Back to Running. Stronger Than Before.
Whether it's IT band, plantar fascia, shin, knee, or Achilles, nagging running pain almost always traces back to a root cause: how you load your tissues, how you move, and how your training is structured. Find that root cause, and the pain stops being a recurring problem.
That's the work we do at Tundra. We dig in to and figure out exactly why it hurts, fix the underlying issue, and build the strength and capacity around it so the injury doesn't come back.
And we do it while keeping you running. Smart load management — not blanket rest — is what gets athletes back to full training the fastest, with fitness intact and confidence in their body.
You came here to run. Our job is to make sure you keep doing it.

Running Gait Analysis in Denver
Gait analysis is more than just watching you run. We examine how you move to identify muscle imbalances, technique issues, and injury risks hiding in your stride.
Then we create an individualized treatment plan that addresses the real problem—so you can return to running stronger, faster, and more efficiently than before.

“I am now stronger than before I initially started with my training last year and am back to running.”
I just wish I started going sooner! I was training for my first ultra when I ended up with a stress fracture in my femur. I am now stronger than before I initially started with my training last year and am back to running. I've been working with both Josh and Katie in my return-to-run program. They have both offered a shoulder to cry on when it got challenging and I cannot thank them enough for being so encouraging. You're getting great training, but you're also getting a truly supportive community at Tundra. They're the best!
