Stop Letting Running Injuries Steal Your Momentum
Running is supposed to feel freeing, but when pain shows up, every step becomes a reminder that something’s wrong. Shin splints, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, or tight hips can turn your passion into frustration.
You’ve probably already tried foam rolling, ice, or even taking weeks off, only to find the pain comes right back when you lace up again. That constant fear of re-injury lingers, making every run a gamble instead of a joy.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
At Functional Phyzio, we uncover the root cause of your running injuries and rebuild your body to move the way it’s meant to.
Through one-on-one, hour-long sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, our Reset, Reload, Perform model gets you out of the cycle of injury and back to running stronger than before.
Call us now at 919-342-7949 and take the first step toward pain-free miles.

What our client's say
Honestly, I was skeptical and thought it might be more encouragement to do kegels. It has been anything but that. I saw improvements in my life almost immediately. Dana thoroughly explained how the pelvic floor is designed to work and then gave me exercises that ranging from breathing to core engagement and many other things in between. I feel so hopeful now and no longer need to know where the nearest restroom is at all times. I am especially enjoying being able to exercise again without planning it around a restroom break. Very thankful I took a chance on this. Highly recommend to anyone who’s quality of life feels diminished because of poor pelvic Floor health!
Angie Meller
I wish I knew about this immediately postpartum. I was like most moms who pees themselves when jumping or sneezing too hard. After 10 sessions with Dana, I feel like a new woman. I ran on the treadmill, played volleyball and had a cold with some aggressive coughing and sneezing without any issues! I’m seriously amazed and cannot recommend enough. Dana was professional and knowledgeable and worked to address both pelvic floor issues and my diastasis recti.
Nikki Keefe
After only 4 sessions I am already seeing significant improvement for all of my pelvic floor issues. Dana is incredibly knowledgeable and understanding. Every session is different because she listens to what your body needs to allow for a highly tailored treatment plan. I would recommend anyone looking for pelvic floor PT to Functional Phyzio and cannot thank Dana enough for all of the guidance and support!
Hannah Willis
I came to Functional Phyzio with an injured hip. Dana performed a thorough assessment of my body and my history to create a personalized treatment plan that empowered me with a toolkit of exercises and techniques that really helped me resolve my injury quickly. Honing in on how my pelvic floor influences my hip function was really insightful. My portal has videos showing me how to perform the movements we discussed, which is such a great resource. Dry needling has also helped relieve tension in various parts of my body. The portal also provides an easy interface for appointment scheduling. I’ve really enjoyed working with this practice.
Reena Shaw
I came postpartum to solve a variety of issues. With the help of Dr.Norah and with a little effort at home we could solve most of it. The atmosphere and staff in the office are very friendly and welcoming. I Always feel comfortable to come. Also very thankful to all the informative emails that Dr.Norah sends.
Kristina Gudovskikh
Norah and her team are amazing! She is very knowledgeable and is dedicated to making sure you get the best 1 on 1 care. As a fellow PT myself, I would highly recommend her or anyone at Functional Phyzio. Her admin team also makes scheduling/answering questions a breeze!
