Running doesn’t cause arthritis.
Poor load management does.

Arthritis is actually more common in sedentary people than active ones—and for runners, flare-ups are usually training errors, not running itself.

In this video, I break down:
✔️ What actually helps joints
✔️ What makes symptoms worse
✔️ How to keep running long term

Movement matters. Strength matters more.
Less Pain. More Life.

Meet Dr. Richard Travers, DPT 👋

With 20+ years of experience, Richard brings a deep, hands-on approach to helping people move better and feel stronger. Born and raised near Miami, he grew up outside year-round before moving to Georgia for college. Along the way, he’s been a line cook, a deep-sea tugboat deckhand, and a licensed massage therapist—experiences that shaped his practical, whole-body view of care and ultimately led him to physical therapy.

He’s calm, seasoned, and incredibly thoughtful in how he treats. We’re pumped to have him on the Shift team.

Physical therapists are licensed healthcare providers with the legal authority to evaluate, diagnose, and treat movement-related conditions within their scope of practice. That’s why you can start physical therapy without a physician referral in most states.

PTs are trained at the doctoral level to:

Perform a comprehensive evaluation
Identify the source of pain or movement dysfunction
Establish a physical therapy diagnosis
Create and carry out a plan of care
Refer out if symptoms fall outside our scope

Direct access isn’t about skipping your doctor—it’s about getting the right care sooner. Research consistently shows that starting PT early leads to:
1. Better outcomes
2. Lower costs
3. Fewer unnecessary imaging studies or procedures

If during your evaluation we identify red flags or something that needs medical management, we coordinate with your physician immediately. Patient safety always comes first.
