Whatthey say...
I didn't know what to expect since I never had PT, but throughout working with Dr. Scharen and her team (Maya and Kelsey I think?), I felt I was in great care. Having run marathons and halves herself, Dr. Scharen provided invaluable guidance and insight on my (admittedly misguided) training plan at that time. (In hindsight, my plan was overly ambitious, borderline unrealistic, and guaranteed injury prone post-race.) She taught me about *sustainable* long-term running, and that slow, steady, and gradual was the way to go.
Being injured meant being unable to run. Without hesitating, I opted for her proposal, which was achieve full recovery, switch to a half marathon, and delay the full marathon to 2024.
I've learned new exercises strengthening muscle groups I never knew existed or remotely related to running. (Hip abductors/adductors/glute meds). I've learned that switching from running shoes to running sandals (for the first time) while maintaining/increasing my weekly running quota (10-15K a day or 10-20 mi a week) was absolute assurance for injury.
TLDR: I'm fully recovered now, and I'm grateful for the care, concern, and knowledge that Dr. Scharen and her team provided. I've become a much healthier and smarter runner thanks to them. I highly recommend anyone seeking PT, especially if you're a runner, to go see Dr. Scharen. If it wasn't for her, I'd be injured again from my own ignorance.
