Expert Running Physical Therapy in Bend, OR
Whether you're training for your next race or just want to get back on the trails pain-free, Capacity Performance Therapy delivers one-on-one care that fixes the root cause — not just the symptom. Work directly with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, never an aide or tech, for the full hour. Bend's runners deserve better care. We built it.
Still Injured After Months of Trying to Fix It?
Recurring Injuries
Pain keeps returning because the root cause was never properly addressed — only the symptoms were managed.
Most PT clinics treat the symptom. We find and fix what's actually causing it.
Cookie-Cutter Care
You're handed a generic program and passed off to a tech. Your goals, your sport, and your body get lost in the shuffle.
Lost Training Time
Weeks turn into months on the sideline. Without a clear plan, every setback costs you fitness, confidence, and the season.
At Capacity Performance Therapy, every appointment is an hour of focused, one-on-one time with your own Doctor of Physical Therapy — no aides, no hand-offs, no wasted visits. We use state-of-the-art sports science tools like running gait analysis and force plate testing to identify exactly what's driving your injury, then build a custom program around your sport, your goals, and your life.
Hour-long, 1-on-1 sessions with a Doctor of PT — no aides, no techs, no shortcuts
Running gait analysis and objective performance testing to find the real problem
Custom programs updated every visit so your plan evolves as fast as you do
