Gait analysis, hands-on treatment, and recovery plans built specifically for runners.
Expert PT Services Designed For Runners in New Jersey
Running injuries deserve a running-specific approach. Too often, treatment means stepping away from the sport entirely and a return to running that feels more like guesswork than an actual plan. At Cadence, our services are built differently. Led by Doctors of Physical Therapy, every session starts with understanding your training, your goals, and what your body actually needs to keep moving forward.
Your Path to Recovery
Step 01
Running Injury Evaluation Initial PT Assessment
Most running injuries aren't random—they're the result of an imbalance, a compensation, or a weakness that's been building for miles. Our Running Injury Evaluation gets to the root cause before it sidelines you.
Every evaluation starts with a full medical and training history, followed by a hands-on musculoskeletal exam: gait analysis, strength and flexibility testing, joint mobility, and balance assessment. Because every evaluation is performed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy — not a general trainer — you're getting a diagnostic-level assessment built for runners, not a generic intake.
From there, you'll leave with a personalized treatment plan targeting your specific weaknesses and imbalances, designed to reduce injury risk and support your training and performance goals long-term.

Physical Therapy Session Follow-Up to Initial Evaluation
Recovery isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is our treatment. Every follow-up session is one-on-one time with your Doctor of Physical Therapy, built around the plan established in your initial evaluation and adjusted as you progress.
Sessions combine hands-on manual therapy, targeted exercise therapy, and runner-specific education — all working together to resolve pain, restore mobility, and correct the underlying issues keeping you from training at full capacity.
Our goal isn't just symptom relief. It's getting you back to your daily activities and your training plan as quickly and durably as possible, so you can keep running for years, not just weeks.

Leg Revival
30-Min Massage + 15-Min Normatec Boots
Your legs carry every mile — give them recovery that matches the work. Leg Revival pairs a 30-minute deep tissue massage with 15 minutes in the Hyperice Normatec boots, a combination built specifically for the demands of running.
Our therapists target the muscle groups runners overwork most — calves, quads, hamstrings, and IT band — using deep tissue techniques that break up knots, release tension, and improve circulation. Then the Normatec boots take over, using dynamic compression to flush metabolic waste and accelerate recovery at a level manual work alone can't reach.
Whether you're tapering into race week, recovering the morning after, or logging heavy marathon training miles, Leg Revival is built to get you back on the road faster and stronger.
LEVER UP
Solo Treadmill Session with Body Weight Support
Some of the best training happens at less than 100% of your body weight. LEVER is a state-of-the-art body weight support system that reduces impact on your joints while letting you maintain running form and mechanics — making it one of the most effective tools available for both rehab and performance training.
Coming back from an injury? LEVER lets you keep running while your body heals, instead of losing fitness on the sideline. Managing high mileage? Use it to add low-impact volume without adding wear and tear. Either way, you train smarter and recover faster.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
No. LEVER works for injury recovery and performance training alike. If you're coming back from an injury, it lets you keep running while your body heals instead of losing fitness on the sideline. If you're healthy and managing high mileage, it's a tool to add low-impact volume without the wear and tear of full-weight running. Either way, you don't need to be hurt to benefit from training at reduced impact.
A regular massage relaxes muscle. Leg Revival is built to recover it. The 30-minute deep tissue work targets the specific muscle groups running overworks — calves, quads, hamstrings, IT band — using techniques designed to break up training-related tension, not just generic relaxation. Then 15 minutes in the Normatec boots adds dynamic compression that manual work alone can't replicate, flushing metabolic waste and speeding recovery at a level a standard massage doesn't reach. It's recovery built around training load, not a spa treatment.
Yes. Gait analysis is part of how we evaluate every patient. Watching you run tells us things that a static assessment cannot — specifically which movement patterns are concentrating load on injured tissues and what needs to change for your recovery to hold long-term.
Absolutely. Triathlon is three sports managed as one, and injuries in each discipline affect the others. We understand the demands of multisport training and can assess and treat injuries across all three disciplines — including overuse injuries from the bike, shoulder issues from swimming, and the full range of running injuries. We also understand the race calendar pressure that comes with Ironman and 70.3 training.
Your first visit is a full evaluation — not a brief intake followed by generic exercises. We take a thorough history of your injury and your training background, assess your movement, and in most cases watch you run. By the end of your first appointment you'll have a clear picture of what's driving your injury and a plan to address it. No mystery, no runaround.
