Performance Physical Therapy for Runners in Boston — A Smarter Solution to Running Injuries & Performance
Clarity
We uncover the true root cause of your running injury or performance limitation through comprehensive physical therapy evaluation, advanced gait analysis, and strength assessment.
You leave with real answers and a clear plan — not guesswork.
At The Run Rx, we specialize in physical therapy for runners and active adults across Somerville, Cambridge, and Greater Boston — helping you stay healthy, strong, and moving with confidence. We diagnose the root cause of pain and performance barriers with expert care tailored to your body and goals.
Our team is made up of Doctors of Physical Therapy and performance specialists — and we’re runners ourselves. That shared identity matters. We understand that running isn’t just exercise — it’s stress relief, community, identity, confidence, and sometimes the one steady thing in a chaotic season of life.

They see the big picture, more than any other PT who I’ve worked with. Also incredibly positive and fun to talk to.
I couldn’t recommend a PT more highly!
