Medicine in Motion is dedicated to being the cornerstone of a runner’s journey in Austin. Our specialized sports medicine services aim to ensure that every runner, whether a marathon enthusiast or a trail lover, finds their stride healthily and enjoys the rhythmic beat of their run against the beautiful canvas of Austin.
Austin, with its picturesque trails and spirited running events, enthralls a vast community of runners. The city’s lush landscapes not only provide a serene backdrop but also set the stage for challenges that come with the repetitive nature of running. At Medicine in Motion, we extend our sports medicine expertise to ensure every runner continues to embrace the Austin trails with vigor, while effectively managing and preventing common running ailments like anterior knee pain, ITB pain, stress fractures, shin splints, knee injuries, lateral/patellar issues, hamstring injuries, Achilles tendon problems, and low back pain.
Delving into Common Running Ailments:
-
Shin Splints: Characterized by pain along the shin bone, often triggered by sudden changes in physical activity.
-
Knee Injuries: These could range from anterior knee pain to lateral/patellar issues, often stemming from overuse or improper form.
-
Hamstring Injuries: Strains or pulls in the hamstring muscles can be quite common, particularly if there’s a lack of flexibility or overstriding.
-
Achilles Tendon Problems: Issues here can range from tendinitis to tears, often due to overuse or lack of flexibility.
-
Low Back Pain: Running can sometimes strain the lower back, particularly if there’s an existing condition or poor running form.
Preventing Running Injuries: A Step in the Right Direction
Running is an exhilarating exercise, yet it demands a healthy respect for one’s body. The essence of preventing running injuries lies in cultivating wholesome running habits. Here are some practical tips to keep you on the right track:
-
Warm-Up Ritual: Kickstart your run with a slow pace, maintaining it for the initial 10 to 15 minutes. It sets the right tone for the muscles and joints.
-
Invest in Quality Footwear: Your shoes are your loyal companions on the trail. Ensure they are the right fit and replace them before they wear out.
-
Cool Down with Ice: Embrace the habit of icing minor injuries; it fosters deep circulation and healing.
-
Cross-Train: It’s prudent to take a break from running and engage in other forms of exercise. Cross-training fosters a well-rounded fitness regime.
-
Pace Yourself: Aim for distance before speed. Gradually build your endurance before attempting to quicken your pace.
-
Listen to Your Body: If it hurts, pause. It’s wiser to rest for a couple of days than to run through the pain and face a prolonged recovery later.
-
Stay Hydrated: Replenishing fluids is crucial, regardless of the weather. It keeps dehydration at bay and ensures a smoother run.

I travel a lot, and as a singer my health is paramount. Martha has been excellent as my family physician for years. I greatly appreciate the personal service as opposed to being a number for a large chain.

My daughter is studying in Austin, does high level cheer, is in her mid twenties with knees like someone in their seventies. Sorry sweetheart, that's probably from me, mine are rubbish. Dr Pyron has provided a course of treatment and exercise to manage the problem and keep her going as long as possible whilst minimizing further harm. Good show Martha!

I've been seeing Dr. Pyron since the beginning of the pandemic, and she's done a great job paying attention to what I need and helping to find solutions to the problems I've been having without blaming them all indiscriminately on weight. The office design is clearly HAES-informed, with comfortable seating for people of all sizes and blind weigh-ins. The team is also very friendly & helpful, particularly with managing insurance and scheduling issues.

Dr. Pyron spends quality time with patients and ensures we understand and agree with her treatment recommendations before leaving her office. I have recommended her to my family members, coworkers and friends.

I have been seeing Dr Pyron for many, many years as a primary care physician and as a Sports Medicine/Orthopedic Dr. She has always had a great staff and a great Physical Therapy team. I feel like a got the perfect all-in-one doctor. She has been there when I hurt my shoulder, broke my knee, and even had bronchitis. She has even been there after hours when she knew it was very important to inform you of something or get you the medicine you need. She also does virtual Dr visits,pt, and one on one training

Helpful, efficient, friendly and effective. Glad I found Dr. Pyron and her practice!

July 12, 2022I am baffled by the negative reviews. Dr. Pyron literally saved my life on several occasions. She is one of those rare doctors who look at the big picture and do not just try to treat symptoms. She works hard to get to the root cause of the issues. Just to give you an example: on one occasion Dr. Pyron ordered me to have a bone density scan. The scan from the provider came back in the middle of the normal range. However, Dr. Pyron pointed out that since I have been a daily runner for a while, my numbers should be much higher. This is the kind of critical thinking that is missing from most providers. Last year when I saw her with a knee pain, she found that my left leg was swollen and ordered me to get an ultrasound immediately. It turned out to be a blood clot that we managed to treat successfully since. Should I say that just a few weeks before that visit I had a visit with my regular primary care physician who did not notice a thing? I have also taken physical therapy sessions at this location - these sessions (while painful) got me back into running. I would never give up on this practice! Dr. Pyron has been treating not just me, but my family as well. She is the best you can hope for!
