Run Pain Free

The PhyziX Approach for Runners

Running is one of the most natural and freeing ways to move, but for many runners, pain has become an unwelcome part of the journey. We’ve worked with countless runners who have pushed through injuries, hoping they would just "go away" only to find themselves sidelined and frustrated.

At PhyziX, we take a different approach. Instead of masking pain or forcing you to stop running altogether, we identify the root causes of your discomfort and help you build a more resilient, pain-free stride. Whether you’re a casual runner, a marathoner, or somewhere in between, we’re here to help you run stronger, longer, and without pain using a niched approach that corrects your imbalances starting from your feet.

How PhyziX Help You Run More Efficiently and Pain Free

At PhyziX, we look beyond just the site of your pain—we analyze your full-body mechanics starting at your feet to find the real cause.

In-depth Foot mechanics is a highly overlooked area in most rehab spaces and in running communities. While everyone else is quick to prescribe orthotics, we believe we can get the same benefits, if not better results by returning natural movements back to your feet.

The foot is your body’s first point of contact with the physical environment. It contains about 7,000 nerve endings that provide critical feedback to your brain.

This interaction has profound impact on how you move.

By addressing this often missed piece of the puzzle, we have been able to deliver faster and more permanent results to our runners.

  1. Mastering Your Foot Mechanics

    • Your feet are your foundation. Weak foot muscles, improper loading, and poor arch control can create a ripple effect that leads to knee, hip, and back pain.

    • We use a foot pressure scanner to map out exactly where you put pressure on your feet while standing, walking, and running.

    • This allows us to see imbalances in real-time and tailor a plan that helps you unconsciously correct your foot mechanics so that your stride feels smoother—without you having to overthink every step.

  2. Correcting Imbalances and Weak Links

    • Instead of generic strengthening, we target the specific weak links in your chain that lead to inefficiencies and pain.

    • We use “foot wedges” to reprogram how your feet interact with the ground. These simple but powerful tools allow your body to self-correct its mechanics—so you don’t have to rely on external supports like orthotics or constantly buy new shoes.

    • By addressing the source of the issue, we help you return to running faster and with less effort than traditional rehab methods.

  3. Building Strength and Resilience for the Long Run

    • Your training should make you more durable, not more prone to injury.

    • We integrate running-specific strength, mobility, and neuromuscular training to help you become a stronger, more efficient runner.

    • Our approach ensures that your movement patterns support longevity, allowing you to run pain-free for years to come.

The Most Common Running Injuries We See

Many runners deal with nagging pain that disrupts their training. If you’ve experienced any of the following, you’re not alone:

  • Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome) – Pain around or behind the kneecap, especially after long runs or downhill running.

  • Plantar Fasciitis – Stabbing pain in the heel, particularly during the first steps in the morning.

  • IT Band Syndrome – Sharp pain on the outside of the knee, often worsening with mileage.

  • Shin Splints – Pain along the inner shin, commonly due to overuse or improper biomechanics.

  • Achilles Tendonitis – Tightness or pain in the Achilles tendon, especially after running.

  • Hip Impingement and Tightness – Hip pain and tightness that develops as you run harder and further.

  • Back Pain and Tightness- Back pain on either left or right side of your body.

These injuries are not just "bad luck." They stem from movement inefficiencies that can be addressed with the right approach.

Why Traditional Running Injury Treatment FailsYou

  • Resting isn’t a long-term solution – You may be told to stop running, but without addressing the underlying movement issues, your pain often returns once you resume training.

  • Generic strengthening plans don’t always help – Strength is important, but if your running mechanics are off, even strong muscles won’t prevent injuries.

  • Ice and foam rolling provide temporary relief – These can help with symptoms, but they don’t fix the root problem.

  • Massages don’t get to the root cause – Massages can be great for recovery, but it doesn’t do anything to create long term changes to your mechanics.

  • Orthotics and cushioned shoes aren’t always the answer – While they may provide short-term comfort, they often mask deeper issues related to foot mobility, strength and running mechanics. Often time, you are trading short term comfort for long term problems.
