Running Injuries Need Specialized Care

Without expert running physical therapy, you risk persistent injuries, decreased performance, and potentially missing your next race.

Up to 80% of runners experience injury each year without proper biomechanical support

Generic PT approaches often miss the specific demands of running mechanics

Returning too quickly can lead to compensatory patterns and recurring issues

What Our Patients Are Saying

Real results from our physical therapy approach

"I began working with Kim when I attempted to start running for the first time back in July 2023. I attempted to do it on my own and quickly realized that I would not be able to when my knee became increasingly sore until I could barely walk. Kim was able to provide treatment as well as a running and strength training plan that allowed for me to not only recover but excel. I completed my first marathon earlier this month and I would not have been able to do it without the tools that Kim provided me with. I never would have thought I would be running a marathon let alone signing up for another one without the help and motivation from Kim. She is the best in the business!”

Sarah Schrader

"When my shin splints flared up, Lakás was recommended to me by my running coach, and I'm so glad they were! I've been working closely with Dr. Ankita Roy, who has gone above and beyond for me. She really takes the time to listen to your goals and makes a plan that works to get you right there. My shin splints eventually resolved and I was able to not only get to my half marathon in good health but also get a massive PR! The team is very professional, knowledgeable, but most of all, friendly and inviting. I will always recommend Lakás to all my active friends who ever need PT because they are truly top notch!"

Alana Joldersma

"I've been seeing Dr. Kim since February 2024, and I'm doing things I've never done before, not only to address the issue that began my time with Dr. Kim, but also to improve my flexibility and core, and prepare me for the CIM, my first marathon. I continue to be surprised at my progress. The knowledge and expertise, targeted exercises, attention to detail, and personal care by Dr. Kim have been excellent."

Milt Gee

"I have been coming to Lakas PT on and off for 2 years now and have been very impressed with how they have been able to triage any pain I have had, and not only treat it but also put together a treatment plan to maintain being healthy. Kim is super specific and really breaks down the WHY vs just putting a bandaid on the issue. Really great people !!”

Jenna Lichtig

"Ankita and Kim are simply the best. Welcoming atmosphere, crazy knowledgeable, and so good at what they do. I have been having a ongoing issue for ten years and they have me doing better than I have in a while. Do not hesitate to see them.”
