The Running PTs was founded on the concept that physical therapy for runners should be skilled and results driven. Furthermore, injured patients should be able to use their insurance for this type of care. With our model, patients consistently work with the same specialized therapist. This subsequently allows for increased time for manual therapy and quicker return to sport.
Why Choose The Running PTs?
What truly separates us from a traditional clinic is our hyper-specialized approach to physical therapy for runners. Every member of our team is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who is obsessed with getting you back to your running routine—not just by masking symptoms, but by mastering your movement. We understand the athlete’s mindset because we are runners ourselves. We understand that for a dedicated athlete, being told to “just rest” is the last thing you want to hear. Instead, we use a combination of advanced gait analysis, dry needling, and myofascial release to optimize your kinetic chain. By focusing exclusively on the lower extremity and the specific demands of the running motion, we provide a level of expertise that ensures your recovery is as efficient as your stride.
Our Goal
The goal of The Running PTs is two-fold: to get patients feeling better quickly, and to determine and address the initial cause of the injury. In runners, this is often times an issue with mobility, strength, or a biomechanical flaw. Our therapists can quickly determine the cause of a running or lower extremity injury. This allows us to reduce symptoms and fix the flaw in as few treatments as possible.
The Running PTs powered by BYoung Physical Therapy offers direct access physical therapy billable through insurance. This means you don’t need a referral to be evaluated at The Running PTs. See our FAQ page for more information.

“I had my first visit today with Lee Welch after being highly recommended by my running group. I’m so glad I finally did! My time with Lee was probably the most beneficial 45 minutes spent in my running journey thus far. Lee took time to listen, did a very thorough orthopedic evaluation, asked questions, analyzed my running, gave a very detailed explanation of what he observed and then gave me specific action steps until my next appointment. He was very patient and took the time to explain everything and made sure I understood. I especially like that his approach is not “one-size-fits-all”, but a very methodical, personalized plan to injury-free success. I actually can’t wait until my next appointment! Thank you Lee and B Young PT!”
