If you’re injured and trying to get back to running at your best, what is the best next step?

Some of you reading this have met me in person or have worked with me personally. You understand what I do and how I can help you whenever you’re dealing with a running related injury.

However, some of you reading this, haven’t met me or don’t know that much about me

I recently created a short intro video that I want to share with you that can break the ice
Check out the new intro video by visiting our Youtube Chanel “Dr. Michael Cortese”


Injuries can sideline you in your training, causing you to doubt yourself and your ability to achieve your goals

I’m a physical therapist who specializes in working with runners. I blend my personal experience as an endurance athlete with my advanced physical therapy training in running related injuries to help runners get back to training every single day.

If you’re struggling with a nagging injury and are limited in your training, schedule a free discovery call with me and let’s work on getting you back on track

Your best is yet to come!

Dr. Michael
