      Runner's and Cyclist's Screenings


      Covenant Therapy Centers is proud to offer Runner's and Cyclist's Screenings as well as comprehensive treatment by: Phil Blevins, PT, OCS, CSCS.

      Board certified orthopedic clinical specialist and certified strength and conditioning specialist specializing in the treatment of overuse injuries in the runner and cyclist.

      A physician referral is not necessary for either screening but will be made if clinical treatment or orthoses are indicated.

      The Runner's Screening is a complete musculoskeletal evaluation specifically designed for the runner/fitness walker. It includes professional assessment of:

      • Flexibility
      • Strength
      • Lower quarter biomechanics
      • Video gait analysis

      Our staff looks for tightness, imbalances and abnormalities during the screening and then makes appropriate suggestions/modifications as needed.

      The Cyclist's Screening includes assessment of:

      • The cyclist's position on the bike and modifications as indicated to reduce joint stress and improve efficiency
      • Stroke mechanics
      • Injuries with additional recommendations to decrease symptoms

      If you are a beginning runner or cyclist, or someone who has been running or cycling for years, schedule a Runner's or Cyclist's Screening to perfect your form and avoid injuries that may slow you down.
