All sports run - let us keep you running.
Welcome to The Runner's Clinic at UVA
Since the running boom of the 1970’s, the number of injuries in this demanding sport have multiplied. Experts estimate that more than 70% of all runners will experience an injury severe enough to require at least one week’s abstinence from running during the course of their running careers.
Just as running is a special type of sport activity, so running injuries require a specialized expertise. Today, injured runners have their own place to go for expert care and healing, The Runner’s Clinic at UVA.
The Runner’s Clinic, in fact, has a goal: to not only provide the best specialized, comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation program for direct patient care possible, but to also become an active partner with runners in the local community.
This commitment includes offering educational seminars on running, staff participation in community running events, and specialized research programs on runners and running.
Our doctors also treat walkers, fitness enthusiasts and all athletes from recreational to elite levels. We strive to provide a place where the injured runner can receive clinical "hands-on" expertise and customized rehabilitation-no matter his or her age or level of proficiency.
No matter your goal, we wish to keep you moving! Feel free to look around at our Services and Procedures to see how we can best help you get back on your feet and back to doing what you love.

“Thanks to everyone along the route – including the UVA Club of Boston at Mile Marker 25 – for cheering me on today at the Boston Marathon. Sending my best to all of the healthcare workers and patients at UVA Children’s Hospital.
Also, a special thanks to all those who helped me overcome an Achilles injury to get me to the starting line today — including Dr. Bob Wilder, Dr. David Hryvniak, Eric Magrum, Michael McMurray, Mark Lorenzoni, and the great teams at UVA’s Orthopedic Center. Couldn’t have done it without you.📷: Dodge Family Photography”
