Performance Physical Therapy for Active People
For those who train hard—or simply want to keep moving well for life.
From CrossFit and HYROX to lifting, running, hiking, golf, skiing, and everyday movement—this is physical therapy built for the modern athlete:
You train with intention (or want to)
You value strength, longevity, and staying active
You don’t want to be told to “just stop”
Expert 1-on-1 care for athletes and active individuals in Somerville, Boston and beyond
This Isn’t Your Average Physical Therapy Experience
Most physical therapy wasn’t designed for people like you.
It’s built for:
Post-op recovery
General injuries
Low-demand activity levels
So what happens?
You get:
Generic exercises
No connection to your training
A plan that ends when pain goes away… not when performance returns
And then?
You’re right back where you started. We exist to break that cycle.
OUTCOMES
I’m no runner but a former college basketball player and I’ve been personal training with Gabby on and off for a few years. She has kept me feeling strong and in the best shape of my life (better than my playing days!). She keeps our workouts fun, fresh and challenging and keeps me injury free, something that hasn’t always been the case.
I came to The Run RX after about 6 months of traditional physical therapy following a knee injury. I was able to make more progress in 4-5 weekly visits than in 6 months of PT! I realized that traditional PT was going to get me back to climbing stairs and walking around the grocery store, but it wasn't going to get me back to hiking, running, and biking confidently.
What We do Differently
We don’t just treat pain—we identify the root cause and build a body that can handle the demands of your training and lifestyle.
At our Somerville physical therapy clinic, serving Boston and the surrounding area, our performance-based approach is designed to:
Address the underlying cause of pain or injury
Keep you active and training when appropriate
Build strength that translates to real-world performance
Progress you back to full activity—not just out of pain
What that looks like:
1-on-1 physical therapy sessions
A clear, personalized plan from day one
Structured progression from pain → movement → strength → performance
This isn’t just short-term relief.
Many clients continue with us beyond injury— to stay ahead of setbacks, build strength, and maintain momentum.
The goal isn’t just to get you back.
It’s to keep you progressing.
MORE THAN JUST FIXING PAIN
Being active isn’t just what you do—it’s part of who you are.
Whether it’s training, lifting, getting outside, or just staying consistent… it matters.
And when your body can’t keep up, it’s more than frustrating.
We get that—because we live it too.
Our team isn’t just physical therapists.
We’re athletes, lifters, runners, and active people ourselves.
That shared mindset shapes everything we do.
We’re here to help you stay in motion—
with a body you trust and a plan that keeps you progressing.
Because this isn’t just about recovery.
It’s about staying active for life.

OUTCOMES
Highly highly recommend this place!!! The Run RX has been the best treatment I’ve received. I tore my ACL in January of 2021 and it has been a long and rocky recovery until I found this place. I went to many physical therapists before finding the RX and none of them provided the same attention, personal care, and good energy. They helped me heal my injury, get my energy back, and finally get back to running and sports.
I came to Run RX for a low back injury after my best friend had been raving about them for years. I’m not actually much of a runner but I love hiking and recently got into Hyrox competitions which was worsening my back that had been a problem for years. They were the only PT’s that could finally get to the bottom of my pain with the activities I wanted to do. They helped me work through some higher level lifts and moves for Hyrox that I never expected to do in PT and I finally feel confident I won’t get hurt again. Highly recommend The Run RX!! Best PT’s in Boston.
