About Runningmate PT and Performance Coaching

RunningMate PT and Performance Coaching is the Kansas City based practice of Nathan Carlson, PT, a physical therapist, coach, and consultant who works with dedicated runners and endurance athletes. The practice provides physical therapy, bone stress injury rehabilitation, strength training, runner assessment, and consulting services. In-person patient care is offered out of A Greater You at 9900 Pflumm Road, Suite 44, Lenexa KS, and virtual evaluations are available for patients located in Missouri or Kansas.

Care is built around understanding the runner as an individual, including training history, medical history, life demands, goals, and current limitations. Physical therapy includes a running-focused orthopedic evaluation, observation of running mechanics, and a practical plan designed to help the athlete move forward. RunningMate also offers focused support for bone stress injuries, including stress reactions, stress fractures, and full fractures, with attention to assessment, exercise prescription, return-to-run planning, and the athlete’s broader goals. Strength training services are individualized for runners and may include fundamental movements, single-leg work, and loading strategies for areas that are heavily used during running. The Runner’s Assessment Package combines orthopedic assessment, running-specific functional testing, gait analysis, and an individualized exercise routine. Nathan’s stated treatment philosophy emphasizes collaboration, research-based decision-making, specificity, adaptability, and helping runners build independence in managing the demands of long-term training.
