Boise's Running Injury Specialists
We Help Boise Runners Overcome Injuries and Get Back to The Pain-Free Runs They Love.
Our 3 Step Approach To Get You Back To Pain-Free Running
Step 1: Listen
When you’re an injured runner, there’s nothing more refreshing than a healthcare provider who understands running and takes the time to truly listen. We’ll discuss where you are in your running journey, the challenges you’re facing, and other lifestyle factors that might be key pieces of the puzzle.
Step 2: Build Your Plan
We’ll analyze your running mechanics to identify any potential contributors to your pain. But we don’t stop there—we also assess your overall strength, flexibility, and movement patterns to uncover the root cause of your injury. From there, we create a personalized plan tailored to your body’s needs and your running goals.
Step 3: Execute
With your personalized plan in place, it’s time to put it into action. The best part? You’ll work directly with a dedicated running rehab specialist who will guide you every step of the way. No guesswork, no uncertainty—just expert support, adjustments, and accountability to help you recover and return to running stronger and pain-free.
Why Runner Specific Care Matters
At Fit & Function, we believe runners should be treated by specialists who don’t just understand injuries—they understand runners.
Do you have to be an elite athlete to work with us?
Absolutely not.
But should you expect expert care from physical therapists who are trained by the top running specialists in the country and stay at the forefront of the latest research?
Absolutely.
When you work with us, you’re not just a patient—you’re a runner with a story, a purpose, and goals that matter. Our team gets it. We know what it’s like to wake up before dawn for a run, to push through tough training weeks, and to feel the frustration of pain holding you back.
You won’t get cookie-cutter care here. You’ll get a partner who listens, who understands your drive, and who knows what it takes to get you back to the miles that matter most to you.
At Fit & Function, every runner’s goal is our priority. Whether it’s finishing your first 5k or setting a new personal record, we treat your goal like it’s the most important one we’ve ever worked on—because to us, it is.

A Message to Those Who Have Been Let Down Before
If you’ve been frustrated by care that didn’t deliver or felt ignored by providers who didn’t understand runners, you’re not alone. Too many runners have been let down by a system that wasn’t built for them—once, when it failed to produce results, and again, when it made them give up hope of finding real solutions.
We’re here to rewrite that story. At our clinic, you’ll find care that’s designed specifically for runners, from professionals who understand the sport and your passion for it. No generic advice, no dead ends—just the expertise and support you need to keep moving forward.
