Runner Rebuild System
Get out of the injury cycle, build durable mileage, and feel strong from first mile to finish line—with a plan built for your body and your life.
For runners who are tired of "just stretching more" and want a strength-based system that actually supports their training
This Is For Runners Who:
Keep battling knee, Achilles/calf, hip, back, or plantar foot pain when they try to increase mileage or speed.
Are stuck in the injury rebound cycle: rest, feel better, ramp up, get hurt again.
Want a clear, progressive strength and mobility / running prep plan, or want to return to running after injury with a game plan built by a professional physical therapist and running specialist.
If you want to run pain-free, stay consistent, and actually get faster—not just "recover enough to jog again"—this is built for you.
Limited spots each month to keep coaching 1:1

How The Runner Rebuild System Works
Step 1 – Evaluate & Diagnose
Find out why you’re hurt with a deep‑dive history, strength/mobility screen, and running analysis (video or treadmill).
Step 2 – Rebuild Strength & Capacity
Train 2–3x/week with runner‑specific strength for glutes, calves, hamstrings, and core so your body can actually handle miles again.
Step 3 – Return‑to‑Run Progression
Follow a clear, staged run‑walk or return‑to‑run plan with simple rules for when to push, hold, or pull back.
Step 4 – Performance & PR Phase
Layer in plyometrics, mobility work, and power training so you finish the 12 weeks running faster—not just “graduated” from PT.
Who This Is Perfect For
Runners stuck in an injury → rest → return → re‑injury loop.
Runners told to “just stop running” who want a better solution.
Half/full marathoners chasing a PR who need structure around strength, recovery, and run dosage.
Newer runners who want to build a durable base the right way.
Not ideal if: you're looking for quick passive fixes or generic training plans. This is built for motivated runners who want coaching, feedback, and a clear plan.
Run Pain-Free Guarantee
If you complete all 12 weeks, attend your sessions or check‑ins, and follow your plan—and you don't feel a meaningful improvement in pain and performance markers we track together—I'll continue working with you for an additional 4 weeks at no extra cost.
This makes the decision simple: if you do the work, you won't be left in the same place three months from now.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It:
"I can't recommend Adam Liptak enough! I originally contacted him to get help with diagnosing and rehabbing a nasty groin injury that popped up during marathon prep. After a couple of sessions I was back running pain free and Adam had also identified a bunch of imbalances that potentially lead to the injury.
I'd such a good experience that I signed up for an additional 6 sessions to work on other weaknesses in my upper body / posture. Now that I better understand my body mechanics, I'm a stronger runner and have been making much more progress in the gym. I’m happy I am able to get to the finish line stronger than ever!!"

I came to Adam to address knee pain that started during my Boston Marathon training. I was new to physical therapy so wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. In the initial appointment Adam took the time to understand my goals and training routine in addition to analyzing my biomechanics, and offering his prognosis for what was causing my knee pain. After only a few sessions my knee pain went from stopping my runs to being hardly noticeable.
Not only was Adam able to help me overcome my knee pain, he offered valuable advice on how to incorporate strength and mobility work as part of my overall training plan. 10/10 I would recommend Dr Adam Liptak to anyone who is looking to get over a lingering pain or learn how to properly train your body for the movements you care about.
— Cameron QI had the pleasure of working with Adam Liptak for a few months as I was working through a hip and achilles injury. Adam is incredibly knowledgeable and took time to understand my injuries and design a program to fix them both.
From a patient's perspective, he was very easy to work with and made sure that I always had everything I needed. I'd recommend him to anyone who is coming back from an injury or looking to improve performance!
