Meet Dr. Joshua Smith

Physical Therapist and Head Running Coach

​

I’m Joshua Smith, PT, DPT, OCS, a Physical Therapist and running coach based in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, specializing in helping runners and endurance athletes recover from injury, improve performance, and stay healthy for the long run.

​

I provide one-on-one physical therapy and personalized running coaching for runners of all levels. My goal is to combine evidence-based rehabilitation, strength training, and individualized run programming to help athletes navigate injuries, train consistently, and reach their goals. I am a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and USATF Level 1 Certified Running Coach, bringing both clinical expertise and real-world running experience to the athletes I work with.

​

I started running in 2010 while in graduate school and have since completed more than 20 marathons, triathlons, and relay races, including multiple Boston Marathons. As a runner myself, I understand both the challenges and rewards that come with training, racing, injury, and getting back to doing what you love.
