Running Gait Analysis for Woodruff Residents

Woodruff residents know what it means to work hard — physically. Whether you're dealing with pain from years of manual labor or an injury from recreational sports, our Greenville clinic is 30 minutes away and offers running gait analysis designed for people who use their bodies for a living and for fun.

Woodruff's economy is rooted in agriculture and manual labor — occupations that take a serious physical toll. Shoulder injuries from overhead work, back pain from lifting, and knee issues from years of physical labor are common. At the same time, Woodruff's younger residents are increasingly active in recreational sports and fitness.

Woodruff residents are no strangers to driving for specialized services. The 30-minute trip to our Greenville clinic gives you access to physical therapy that understands both the demands of physical labor and the goals of recreational athletes — something that's simply not available in rural Spartanburg County.
