Run Faster. Run Farther. Run Injury-Free.

Each year, thousands of runners are injured and need to take a break from the activity that has captured their hearts. Yet many of these injuries can be prevented by learning proper running technique and biomechanics. Moreover, most runners who do get injured don't have to give up running. With a complete recovery and training in optimal running performance, you can get back on track and start training for your next race or jog around the neighborhood.

We offer:

  • Biomechanical evaluation
  • Recommendations for improving your performance and reducing your risk of injury
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Nonsurgical treatments, such as injections and ultrasound therapy
  • Orthopedic surgery, including minimally invasive procedures
  • Emergency care

 

Making History through Teamwork

Across the street, the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center has been making history for over 150 years, and the Rehabilitation Medicine Department has been a leader in injury prevention and treatment since the early 20th century. Today, Armory athletes can benefit from a unique collaboration between these two historic New York City institutions.
