Supporting runners every step of the way - Program in Physical Therapy

WashU Medicine Physical Therapy provides race recovery for STL Marathon.

Female PT stretches the left leg of a runner, lifting it strait up in the air and holding this ankle and just above his knee. She looks off to the side. The runner is lying on their back, wearing a red top and black compression shorts. His arms are folded across his chest.

The 80-volunteer-strong team from the WashU Medicine Program in Physical Therapy continued their three-year streak of providing a pre-race stretching session and post-race recovery.
