TOLD TO STOP RUNNING?

While other providers tell you to stop running, Dr. Jamie helps you recover quickly so you can get back to what you love while feeling stronger than ever before.

You're in the right place if...

You were told to stop running instead of given a plan to treat your running injury.

You're tired of getting re-injured every few months.

You want a provider who actually treats runners, not just general orthopedic injuries.

You want to avoid expensive surgeries and injections if you can.

SAME GOAL, TWO DIFFERENT PATHS

WHAT GETTING BACK TO RUNNING ACTUALLY COSTS

Most runners end up piecing together two services — a clinic for the injury, a coach for return-to-run programing. Here's how that stacks up.

​​

 

 

 

 

INSURANCE-BASED PT

RETURN-TO-RUN COACHING

PTOTR PROGRAM

  • Initial assessment: $40-$350 (or more)

  • Follow-up appointments - usually 12 sessions: $480 to $4,200

  • Treats the injury: Yes, if they understanding running injuries

  • Return-to-run program: Might provide general guidance or a cookie-cutter plan

  • Provider access: During weekly or biweekly appointments and maybe via email

  • Look at training history: Rarely

  • PT exercises: Confusing handouts or maybe videos

  • Initial assessment: None

  • Monthly cost: $100-$300

  • Treats the injury: No, not licensed to

  • Return-to-run program: Might provide general guidance or a cookie-cutter plan

  • Coach access: Varies by coach

  • Look at training history: Possibly but they don't have the medical knowledge to understand how it caused your injury

  • PT exercises: None

  • Initial assessment: $75

  • Follow-up appointments: No single sessions after the initial eval. Monthly program for $399.

  • Treats the injury: Dr. Jamie exclusively works with runners

  • Return-to-run program: Individualized to your injury, running history, and future goals

  • Provider access: Daily checkins Monday-Friday, weekly virtual reassessments

  • Look at training history: Always, it's the root cause of your injury

  • PT exercises: All PT programming and return-to-run programming are laid out day-by-day on Final Surge. Videos are included for all exercises. 

In order for runners to get back to what they love quickly and safely, both PT and an injury-specific return-to-run program are necessary. With traditional PT, that means attending time-consuming appointments and hiring a coach, while PT programming with Dr. Jamie is unique and provides both!

WHERE TRADITIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY FALLS SHORT

Four reasons runners keep getting re-injured

ISSUE 1
Too much focus on "feel good" treatment

Graston, cupping, dry needling — they ease pain and stiffness in the short-term, but they don't make your injured tissues stronger and able to handle running again.

ISSUE 3
Training history ignored

Training errors are the #1 cause of running injuries, but most PTs never ask about your training — so the root cause never gets fixed.

ISSUE 2
No return-to-run plan

Insurance won't cover it, so most runners are left guessing how to on  safely rebuild mileage, re-injuring themselves in the process or prolonging their treatment due to flare ups. 

ISSUE 4
Over-reliance on gait analysis

Gait assessments look impressive but rarely change your treatment or outcomes. Running biomechanics  aren't the cause of your injury so shouldn't be the main focus of your rehab.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

"I reached out to Dr. Jamie that same day I was missing my race and booked a call with her later in the week to see if I was a fit for her physical therapy program. I wasn’t sure how working remotely with a physical therapist would work and had the old school thinking that I needed to be physically in the same place as her to help me. I had never done physical therapy so really didn’t know what to expect. Before I knew it we were doing the first assessment via video. Dr. Jamie is a natural for providing physical therapy to her clients virtually. She knew all the right things to ask me and have me do to diagnose my issues. And I never I had to lose time driving to a clinic and got to be in the comfort of my own home. After the initial assessment Dr.Jamie put together my PT program of exercises. She makes all of her videos demonstrating the exercises and if you aren’t sure if you are doing them correctly you can record yourself and send it to her for immediate feedback. She’s very prompt about replying. This is another big advantage to working remotely with Dr. Jamie. Had I gone to a clinic to do PT I would have to wait for feedback. In fact anytime I had questions or concerns I could reach out and get immediate feedback (unless she was out completing a race of her own!). I responded well to Dr. Jamie’s model of remote PT. I highly recommend Dr. Jamie and Physical Therapy on the Run. Her program is brilliant and I love that she can help anyone anywhere. Of course you have to want to be helped and do the work she gives you."
