About Us

Bryan Whitesides MPT, OCS
Thanks for your interest in "The Injured Runner"! My name is Bryan Whitesides. I am a runner and a physical therapist. I was actually headed for a career in engineering when I had my first exposure to therapy. I was running competitively in college and strained my calf. Since I had access to the training room, I got some help and was back on my way sooner than usual. A career based on helping people get back to what they like doing appealed to me, so I made the switch. I must admit, not having to take as much chemistry also tipped the scale.

My wife and I have each been running for over twenty years. I have been a physical therapist for twelve years and have been able to treat hundreds of runners – from beginners to highly competitive athletes. We have developed The Injured Runner with the intent of helping runners get back to what they love to do. As I searched the internet and read books or articles on running injuries I found the information to be limited, out of date or difficult to access. I hope that you will find this site to be the most comprehensive, useful, and up to date available. I welcome your comments and ideas. Together, we can help more people experience the joys of running.

Sincerely,

Bryan Whitesides MPT, OCS
