Whether you're training for your next marathon, recovering from injury, or looking to optimize your performance, Core Values Physical Therapy delivers evidence-based care designed specifically for runners.
Are You Struggling With Any of These Running Issues?
Generic treatments and temporary fixes often fail to address the root cause of back pain—leaving active adults stuck in the pain cycle, unable to train, work, or move without discomfort. At Core Values Physical Therapy, we take a performance-driven approach that restores strength, improves mobility, and prevents setbacks. With personalized one-on-one care, you’ll rebuild confidence in your body and get back to doing what you love—stronger than before.
Injuries That Keep Coming Back
You've dealt with plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, or runner's knee before. You rest, you recover, you return—then the pain comes back. You're frustrated watching training partners hit their goals while you're stuck in the pain cycle, unable to build consistent mileage.
Generic PT That Doesn't Understand Runners
You've been to physical therapy clinics where the therapist has never run a mile. They give you generic exercises, don't analyze your gait, and can't answer your running-specific questions. You need someone who actually understands the demands of your sport.
Fear of Missing Your Race
Your race is weeks away and pain is threatening everything you've trained for. Without proper guidance from a running-specialized physical therapist, you're risking either missing your goal race or pushing through pain and making the injury worse.

"My experience with big box physical therapy chains made me apathetic about physical therapy's ability to sustainably treat my injuries. A trusted friend and coach suggested I give Core Values a go, and the good folks there have totally shifted my apathy regarding physical therapy and my ability to achieve my physical goals without constant and nagging injuries."

Get answers about our elite performance physical therapy approach for active individuals.
Do I need a referral to start running physical therapy in Winter Garden?
No! Florida is a direct access state, meaning you can see a physical therapist without a doctor's referral. Simply call Core Values Physical Therapy at (407) 476-6613 or book your free phone consultation online. We'll discuss your running injury and get you started on your recovery plan right away.
How long does it take to get back to running after an injury?
Recovery timelines vary based on your specific injury, training history, and goals. Most runners with common injuries like plantar fasciitis or IT band syndrome see significant improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent treatment. Our running physical therapy approach includes progressive return-to-run protocols that safely rebuild your mileage while preventing setbacks.
Will I have to stop running completely during treatment?
Not necessarily! Depending on your injury severity, we often modify your training rather than eliminating it completely. We might adjust your mileage, incorporate walk-run intervals, or substitute cross-training while we address the root cause. Our goal is to keep you as active as possible while healing properly—because we know how important running is to your mental and physical health.
