Expert Running Physical Therapy in Boston, MA
Whether you’re a postpartum runner working back to the pavement, an active woman managing pelvic floor symptoms, or an athlete sidelined by a running injury — Pacer Physical Therapy is Boston’s specialist in pelvic health and orthopedic care that gets you back to doing what you love. We offer one-on-one, 60–75 minute sessions in Back Bay, no referral needed, and a free discovery call to start. This is running physical therapy near me, done right.
Still Waiting to Feel Like Yourself Again?
Too many active women are told to rest, wait, and see — or handed a generic exercise sheet and sent home. If you’ve been dismissed, rushed, or simply not heard, you’re not alone. Here’s what shouldn’t have to be your normal.
Rushed, One-Size-Fits-All PT
You’ve tried physical therapy before, but sessions felt hurried, double-booked, or handed off to an aide. Your pelvic floor symptoms and running goals were treated as separate problems — and neither got the attention they deserved.
Told to “Just Stop Running”
Leaking, pelvic pressure, or hip pain doesn’t have to mean the end of your running journey. Being told to simply stop — with no path back — isn’t a treatment plan. You deserve a provider who understands the whole picture, from pelvic floor function to running gait.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Left Behind
Whether you’re navigating prenatal discomfort, recovering postpartum, or returning to running after birth, your body deserves more than a six-week clearance and a wish of good luck. The gap between “you’re cleared” and “I feel strong again” is exactly where we work.

“When I started with her I was 8 months postpartum, had chronic lower back pain and had set a goal of returning to running and running a half marathon in 5 months. I was only able to complete this goal with the help and guidance of Amy.”
— Kelsey M., Pacer Patient
Your Path Back to Running Starts Here — 3 Simple Steps
We understand the frustration of feeling limited by pelvic health or core-related symptoms that impact your daily life.
Step 1: Free Discovery Call
Tell us where you are and where you want to be. We’ll listen — no pressure, no jargon. We’ll confirm Pacer is the right fit for your pelvic health, postpartum, or running physical therapy needs and answer your questions before you commit to a single session.
Step 2: Your 75-Minute Evaluation
Your comprehensive initial evaluation is unlike anything you’ve experienced at a standard PT clinic. We assess your whole body — movement patterns, running gait, pelvic floor function, strength, and history — so we understand the root cause, not just the symptom.
Step 3: Your Personalized Plan & Ongoing 1:1 Care
You’ll leave your evaluation with a clear, customized treatment plan built around your goals — whether that’s returning to running postpartum, managing pelvic floor symptoms, or training for your next race. Every follow-up session is 60 minutes, one-on-one, and progresses toward the life you want.
