Helping You Move Better, Feel Stronger, and Hurt Less.

Physical Therapy for Runners

Running should make you feel strong — not constantly injured.

If you're a runner dealing with persistent aches, recurring injuries, or pain that keeps interrupting your training, you're not alone. Many runners are told to simply rest, stretch more, or stop running altogether. But most of the time, the real solution is understanding why the injury happened and how to build a stronger, more resilient body.

At Resolve PT + Performance, Lina specializes in physical therapy for runners in Arlington Heights and the northwest Chicago suburbs, helping them return to running safely and confidently.

Common Running Injuries Lina Treats

Some of the most common conditions Lina treats include:

  • Bone stress injuries and stress fractures

  • Shin pain and shin splints

  • Hip pain while running

  • Foot pain and metatarsal stress injuries

  • Achilles and calf injuries

  • Pelvic floor symptoms during running (leaking, heaviness, pelvic pain)

Pregnancy & Postpartum Rehabilitation

Pregnancy and childbirth are great athletic events, and your recovery should be approached with the same expert care as any injury. Lina can help runners and non-runners alike with:

  • Urinary leakage or incontinence

  • Pelvic pain or pressure

  • Diastasis recti (abdominal lengthening)

  • C-section or vaginal delivery recovery

  • Return-to-exercise guidance postpartum
