Trillium came in last July with knee pain that had been stopping her training in its tracks.

Not a clean break, not a dramatic moment. Just the kind of recurring flare up that kept restarting her build every time she got momentum.

We settled the knee pain first, addressed the mechanics driving the flare , then gradually rebuilt her workload until she was handling full marathon training.

That whole process took about 4 to 6 weeks.

After that, we checked in every 3 to 4 weeks through the fall and into December. Movement tune-ups, strength adjustments, whatever the training was asking of her body at that point.

She ran the Taipei Marathon in 2:48:26.
This is what we built the Marathon Prep Program for.

If there's something nagging at the start of your fall build, knee, hip, whatever, that's the exact right time to come in. Not when it becomes a problem. Now.

Most running injuries aren't bad luck. They're patterns.

The injuries we see most often (knee pain, shin splints, Achilles tendinopathy, foot pain) almost always trace back to the same handful of strength and mobility deficits.

Weakness in the calf, quad, or hip.
Restrictions at the big toe, ankle, or hip.

This Saturday we're running a free movement screen for the awesome folks of to check all of it.

You'll move through every station and walk away with a personal score and a custom exercise routine built around what your body actually needs.

What we see consistently at Norton PT is that the runners who recover best aren't the ones who rest the longest.



They're the ones who give their bodies LOVE:

Load optimally. Dialing down the running is helpful. But stopping all activity? Wrong anidote. Tissues need the right amount of load to recover and rebuild.

Optimism. When you believe your body can adapt and improve, it changes how you train, move, and recover

Vascularization. Healing tissues need blood flow. Techniques like dry needling, manual therapy, and smart activity help flush waste and deliver the nutrients your body needs to rebuild.

Exercise. specific exercises guide your tissues the optimal direction towards adaptions you want so you come back stronger for your next big race.

Big congrats to Charlie on punching his ticket to Nationals!

He came to us in the spring for posterior tib tendon issues and again this XC season for foot pain. He's attention to detail and his desire to seek help earlier ensured he would not miss valueable training time. Also he was one of the kindest people we've had the pleasure of working with!

Couldnโ€™t be happier for you. Go get it at Nationals!
