Runners

Mike has worked with hundreds of college, professional, elite amateur and high school runners as well as casual runners who have pain and injuries related to faulty foot and leg positions that result in poor running mechanics.

MKPT uses advanced video-analysis of each runner's foot and leg mechanics to identify faulty components in a running pattern to determine how to change it. Patient's can see their leg positions while they are running which enables them to change their mechanics right away. A full flexibility and strength assessment is also done to determine if those factors are important.

Each runner has their foot type assessed to determine exactly which type of running shoe is best suited for that individual. MKPT also makes customized orthotics for advanced support of a client's foot position.

MKPT also offers middle and high school runners an 8-week summer program designed to produce a specific cross-country personal record time for the upcoming fall season.
