Physical Therapy for Hikers and Walkers
Compared to many of the other activities that often require physical therapy, hikers and walkers with pain might not feel that their limitations or goals are great enough to spend time in physical therapy. Hiking and walking transmit forces through your body at 2-3x your body weight with each stride. Hikers and walkers often experience low back pain, hip pain, knee pain and/or foot and ankle pain (esp. plantar fasciitis). At BreakThrough Physical Therapy we take a comprehensive approach and evaluate all related tissues to be sure we are helping you progress as quickly and effectively as possible to help you return the lifestyle you desire.
If you are not sure what you can do to better prepare for success on the trails, but want an easy, cost and time effective way to help ensure you take the right steps towards your future, guided by an expert. Feel free to look into our Telehealth and Virtual Health Consultation (VHC) Services.
I never thought I’d get the strength and endurance back to be able to do this. Look at me now.

My daughter developed a stress fracture due to over-training and lack of proper guidance. She had to sit out her sophomore season and we were afraid her running career would be over. Her self-confidence was way down and we had serious concerns, but thanks to BreakThrough she is “back on track” and continuously improving her times as well as enjoyment for cross country. Thank you!
