Running Physical Therapy in Boise
Running injuries require a different kind of care.
If you’re a runner in Boise, you know how frustrating it is to be sidelined by pain. And you’ve probably already tried rest, stretching, or even a round of physical therapy—only to end up back where you started.
At Fit & Function, we specialize in helping runners recover from injury, return to training with confidence, and build the strength and resilience to stay healthy for the long run.
Whether you’re aiming for your next race or just want to enjoy pain-free miles, you’re in the right place.
What Makes Running Physical Therapy Different?
Running injuries can be complex.
Training and recovery habits, movement patterns, strength, and lifestyle factors all play a role—which is why we take a more thoughtful, runner-specific approach to treatment.
What makes our care different?
We specialize in runners. Our PTs not only treat running injuries all day, every day — they’re also runners themselves.
1-on-1 sessions that go deeper. Longer appointments give us the time to assess fully, plan thoughtfully, and build personalized solutions.
We see the whole picture. Your training, goals, injury history, sleep, stress, and more — it all matters, and we take it all into account.
Your plan starts in the right place. No generic checklist. We tailor your rehab to your current needs and evolve it as you improve.
We help you find the sweet spot. Too little load, nothing changes. Too much, you’re sidelined again. We help you find the balance.
You’ll progress each week. Each visit builds on the last with clear next steps — no repeating the same exercises over and over.
Conditions We Treat
Runner's Knee
Pain around or behind the kneecap is one of the most common complaints in runners. It often flares up during long runs, hills, or after sitting too long.
Our Runner’s Knee Treatment targets the root causes with strength, movement, and confidence-based rehab.
IT Band Syndrome
Pain on the outside of the knee that shows up after a few miles or with downhill running?
Our IT Band Syndrome Treatment goes beyond foam rolling to address the underlying contributors and get you back to consistent training.
Shin Splints
Shin splints can start as a dull ache and quickly turn into a major setback.
Our Shin Splints Treatment includes movement analysis, progressive loading, and training guidance to resolve symptoms and prevent recurrence.
Bone Stress Injuries
Persistent soreness, tenderness, or aching at night? These could be signs of a bone stress injury.
Our Bone Stress Injury Rehab focuses on safe activity modification, progressive loading, and long-term durability.
Calf & Lower Leg Pain
Calf pain and lower leg tightness can interfere with your stride and lead to compensation injuries.
Our Calf Pain Treatment helps resolve symptoms while building strength and control for better movement patterns.
Achilles Tendon Pain
Morning stiffness or pain with push-off can signal Achilles tendinopathy.
Our Achilles Tendon Pain Treatment focuses on targeted loading, strength progression, and return-to-run protocols tailored to runners.
Plantar Fasciitis
Sharp heel pain when you first wake up or after a run?
Our Plantar Fasciitis Treatment addresses foot mechanics, load tolerance, and tissue capacity to help you run pain-free.
Hamstring Pain
Tightness or pain in the hamstring can be tricky for runners, especially when sprinting or pushing pace.
Our Hamstring Pain Treatment combines strength and stride mechanics for a progressive return to running.
Foot & Ankle Pain
Foot and ankle issues can throw off your entire stride.
Our Foot and Ankle Pain Treatment focuses on restoring strength, mobility, and confidence so you can run pain-free again.
