Injury screening for runners.
A structured joint-by-joint assessment that finds the movement fault driving your pain — not just where it hurts. The first stop for every running injury.
Why it matters.
Pain rarely originates where you feel it. A cranky knee is often a hip control problem; a nagging achilles usually traces back to a stiff big toe or weak calf complex. A proper screen tests the whole chain so treatment lands upstream of the symptom.
What we check.
- Ankle, knee, hip, and thoracic mobility.
- Single-leg strength and control under load.
- Posterior chain activation and glute function.
- Foot mechanics, arch behavior, and toe extension.
- Training history, mileage, and recent load spikes.
What you leave with.
A clear working diagnosis, an honest read on how long recovery should take, and a first-week rehab plan you can start today.
Questions runners ask.
How long does a running injury screening take?
A full joint-by-joint screening takes about 60 minutes, including the assessment, hands-on treatment where appropriate, and a walkthrough of your first-week rehab plan.
Do I need a doctor's referral to be screened?
No. Texas allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can book a mobile injury screening with Runner Repair Shop without a physician referral.
Should I get screened if I'm not in pain yet?
Yes. Most runners come in after a niggle becomes an injury. A preventive screen catches mobility and strength deficits while they're still cheap to fix.
