Runner dealing with knee pain on a trail

Sound Familiar?

When Running Just Doesn't Feel Right

Maybe it's a knee that starts aching a few miles in. A calf that keeps tightening up. A hip that flares after every long run. You might not call it an injury — but you know something isn't right, and no amount of rest or stretching seems to fix it for good.

Your knee, hip, or foot starts aching a few miles in

You feel stiff and sore for hours after every run

You can't increase mileage or pace without pain flaring up

You've tried rest and stretching, but the issue keeps coming back

You're worried this might force you to stop running altogether

If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone — and the problem isn't that you're running too much. The problem is that nobody has looked at how you're running.

What Fort Collins Runners Are Saying

"I cannot say enough amazing things about Up and Running, specifically Dr. Chandler! I have had consistent knee pain for years and he was able to identify the root cause right away and has built a plan to help me return to normal. I'm already seeing incredible improvement in the first 3 weeks."

Megan S.

Recreational Runner, Fort Collins

"Dr. Cohen was able to accurately pinpoint my stride length and speed issue with just a discussion. He gave me some quick advice and I have been symptom-free since — even at higher volumes and intensities. It takes a true master to just visualize and immediately pinpoint an issue."

Eddie E.

Trail Runner, Northern Colorado

"Came in with a stress fracture from running and haven't left since! The training and exercises I've been given have made me a much stronger competitor and more successful athlete. This office has kept me in my best shape and prevented additional injuries."

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Yes, completely free. No credit card, no obligation. This analysis is our way of helping local runners get clarity on what's happening with their running — and to show you the level of expertise we bring to every case. If you want to work with us further after that, great. If not, you still walk away with real, actionable insights.

This analysis is specifically designed for runners who feel like something isn't quite right — even if you wouldn't call yourself injured. If you have a nagging ache, recurring tightness, or just feel like something is 'off' when you run, this is for you. You don't need to be sidelined to benefit.

We typically turn around your personalized video analysis within 2–3 business days of receiving your running video.

A treadmill is ideal because it makes filming easier, but it's not required. You can also film yourself running on a flat, safe surface outdoors. We'll give you simple instructions on the next page.

You'll receive a personalized video from one of our Doctors of Physical Therapy breaking down what they see in your form and giving you 1–2 specific things to focus on. From there, it's entirely up to you. There's no pressure to book anything — though we're always here if you want to dig deeper.

This is for runners within approximately 12 miles of Fort Collins who are dealing with pain, stiffness, or a recurring issue that keeps coming back. If you're a completely healthy runner with no issues, this probably isn't the right fit — we want to make sure we're giving our time to the runners who genuinely need it.
