Running Physical Therapy and Gait Analysis in Greenville, SC

Stop Sitting Out. Start Running Smarter.

Recurring running injuries have a root cause and we find it. Your physical therapist uses video gait analysis and foot pod sensors to build a 1-on-1 plan around your training, your body, and your next race.

What Keeps Runners Stuck on the Sideline

You keep reinjuring the same spot

Rest gets you back out, but two weeks into training the same pain returns. Without knowing why, the cycle just keeps going, race after race, block after block.

Your training block is falling apart

Long runs get cut short. Key workouts get skipped. Your race prep is unraveling and the start line feels farther away every week.

You're guessing at what's wrong

You've tried stretching, foam rolling, and different shoes. None of it sticks because you're addressing symptoms not the mechanical cause underneath them.

Common Conditions We Treat

What Brings Runners to Us

Runners come to us when pain or inefficiency is getting between them and their training and they want to know why, not just what to stretch.

Runner's Knee - Patellofemoral pain and lateral knee irritation that limits mileage and disrupts race prep.

IT Band Syndrome - Lateral hip and knee pain that flares up on longer runs or during training build-up.

Achilles Tendinopathy - Achilles stiffness and pain that worsens with increased training load and doesn't respond to rest alone.

Plantar Fasciitis - Heel and arch pain that makes the first steps out of bed and the first miles of a run — miserable.

Shin Splints - Tibial stress symptoms that keep flaring up during training blocks despite rest and reduced mileage.

Hip Pain & Impingement - Hip stiffness or pain limiting stride length, cadence, and running efficiency.

Hamstring Strain - Recurring hamstring issues at the tendon or muscle belly that don't fully resolve with rest or stretching.

Return-to-Running Programming - Structured ramp-up protocols for post-injury or post-surgical return to training and racing.

What Runners Are Saying

Stories from Greenville runners who found their root cause and got back to the trail and the start line.

Matt has been incredibly helpful with a few different issues I’ve had over the last year. The assessment and diagnosis is thorough and I can’t overstate how good it feels to be treated by someone who understands the ins and outs of running that I was trying to get back to. I recommend Matt to any athlete who wants to get back to their old self or improve their performance post-injury!

Great program, great Physical therapy.
Chance Chapman
The team at Reliving Performance has been so helpful in calming down this neck/nerve pain I was feeling in my left arm. Work and training were limited, even running flared it up. Back on the road to fitness and feeling as good as ever.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about running PT in Greenville? Here's what most runners want to know.

Is this only for injured runners?

Both injured and healthy runners benefit. About 70% of runners who come in are dealing with a recurring injury. The other 30% are healthy athletes looking for objective feedback on their mechanics to run more efficiently or prevent injury ahead of a key event. If you're training seriously, the data usually reveals something worth addressing.

Will I have to stop running during rehab?

In most cases, no. Our goal is to keep you running as much as your body can handle while we address the root cause. We'll build a modified training plan around your current load and dial it up progressively as things improve. Complete rest is rarely the answer.

What sensors and technology do you use?

We use wearable foot pod sensors and video gait analysis. The sensors measure real-time mechanics at your feet and hips, capturing loading patterns and asymmetries that visual observation alone misses. Video analysis lets you see exactly what's happening in your stride so nothing gets left to guesswork.

Do I need a referral to start?

No, South Carolina is a direct access state. You can contact us directly without a physician referral. We're trained as first-access providers and ready to hear your story, confirm we're the right fit, and get you started.

How is this different from a typical PT running eval?

Most running evals rely on visual observation or basic treadmill video. We layer foot pod sensor data on top of video analysis to get objective, real-time measurements of how your body actually loads with each step. That data drives the plan, not assumptions. You're also working with a clinician who competes in the same distances you train for.
