Running is the Rehab

Bridget struggled with persistent knee pain despite months of physical therapy. Diagnosed with IT band pain and Runner’s knee, she faced a gap in traditional healthcare—too good for basic treatments, yet not ready for full training.

The key was the “recovery phase,” using running as rehab. Gradually incorporating running, and monitoring pain with a traffic light system, Bridget progressed to full training in three months, overcoming the missing ingredient in her recovery. Now pain-free, she enjoys running without anxiety, highlighting the importance of tailored running-based rehabilitation.
