Physical Therapy
Our one-hour physical therapy sessions focus on comprehensive evaluation and treatment by licensed therapists. We identify root causes of pain through biomechanical assessments and create customized rehabilitation plans. Treatment includes manual therapy, corrective exercises, and advanced techniques like dry needling and 3D gait analysis to restore proper movement patterns and prevent future injuries.
Dry Needling
Functional Dry Needling targets muscle trigger points to relieve chronic pain and improve function. Using sterile monofilament needles, this technique releases tight muscle bands and enhances circulation. Our certified therapists integrate FDN with other treatments to accelerate recovery for musculoskeletal conditions, typically showing improvement within 2-4 sessions.
3D Gait Analysis
This advanced assessment uses 8 motion capture cameras to evaluate running biomechanics at 400 frames per second. The 3D analysis identifies subtle inefficiencies compared to elite runner databases. We provide personalized recommendations for form correction, strength training, and injury prevention strategies tailored to each runner's unique mechanics.
Women's Health
Our specialized women's health program addresses pelvic floor dysfunction and postpartum recovery. Comprehensive evaluations include movement screening and pelvic floor assessment. Treatment combines core stabilization, manual therapy, and education to resolve issues like incontinence, diastasis recti, and pregnancy-related pain while restoring functional strength.
Redcord Training
Redcord suspension training improves strength, balance, and neuromuscular control through bodyweight resistance exercises. Certified therapists guide patients through progressive routines using suspension equipment to enhance core stability and functional movement patterns. Sessions combine guided workouts with independent training options for long-term strength development.

I've been a client of RRPT for over 7 years and wouldn't trust anyone else with my care. Abby and her team are the best around.

I had a really great first experience with Run Raleigh. I saw Sara Beth. She was very thorough and knowledgeable. She identified the problem area very quickly and gave me a plan of action to begin correcting it. I am hopeful that I am on a path to significantly less pain in the future.

When I threw my back out, Urgent Care did nothing but prescribe opioids and muscle relaxants that did nothing to touch the agony. Jennifer used her magic to get me literally back on my feet without pain. I can't recommend these folks highly enough - they're above and beyond your typical PT.
