This study will compare standard of care of home exercise for running rehabilitation to the combined treatment of home exercise with an individually provided four-session virtual physical therapy support program intervention on pain and physical function movements (controlled dual and single leg squat and lateral hopping in individuals post running injury. These collective findings will help provide new evidence of the responses to an individually provided virtual PT interventions among runners.

The VPT will be comprised of weekly virtual visits with the participant for one month. During the visits, the physical therapist will review the exercises that were prescribed, adherence, provide feedback to the participant as they execute the exercises onscreen and make corrections, make any progression or adjustments to the exercises, review running cues they learned from the testing session and answer any questions. The therapist will also review any new activities that are initiated during the previous week (to control for confounders), changes in musculoskeletal pain and participation in running volume.

RECRUITINGChange from baseline numerical rating scale for pain (NRSpain) at 4 weeks
A numerical rating scale for pain (NRSpain) will be used to assess changes in lower body related musculoskeletal pain at rest (now, average over the last week) and during weight bearing activity (like walking) on a range of lowest score of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain)
Time frame: Visits 6; one month post enrollment
Change from baseline numerical rating scale for pain (NRSpain) at 6 months
A numerical rating scale for pain (NRSpain) will be used to assess changes in lower body related musculoskeletal pain at rest (now, average over the last week) and during weight bearing activity (like walking) on a range of lowest score of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain)

Change from baseline displacement in forward-backward direction during 20 sec of static standing position at 4 weeks
A markerless motion system will be used. Cameras will be used to collect the backward-forward displacement during 20 sec of static standing on both legs will be analyzed for ability to control static balance.
