What to Expect During Your Initial Consultation

Consultations take place at our physical therapy offices in Lynbrook and Smithtown. Your visit will include:

One-on-one Session

Your appointment begins with a one-on-one session with a licensed physical therapist who understands the unique needs of runners. They’ll discuss your history, training goals, and any issues you’ve been experiencing.

Comprehensive gait analysis – 3D Coming Soon

Using our state-of-the-art Woodway treadmill, we’ll perform a comprehensive gait assessment to evaluate your movement and identify areas for improvement.

Strength and mobility

We’ll also evaluate your functional strength and mobility, providing you with even deeper insight into how your body moves, so that you can train smarter, not harder.

Exercise program

Based on our findings, your therapist will develop a home exercise program designed to strengthen your stride, correct imbalances, and improve your overall running efficiency.

Your Custom Running Report

Within a week of your session, you’ll receive a detailed written report outlining everything we covered, including strengths, opportunities for improvement, and a clear path forward to help you run at your best.
