My name is Jake (you can call me the running doctor if you want but that is more of a joke) and I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 15 years of high-level competitive running experience. I help runners recover from injury, train smarter, and improve performance through a unique combination of in-clinic physical therapy, in-clinic performance training, and in-home performance coaching.

I serve runners throughout Orange County both in my Mission Viejo clinic — which includes access to our AlterG anti-gravity treadmill — and through premium in-home training sessions.

Whether you’re returning from injury, training for your next race, or trying to stay healthy and fast long-term, I’ll help you build strength, improve running mechanics, and reduce injury risk.

Performance training services are private-pay and not insurance-based physical therapy.

About me

Hey— Jake again! I’m a physical therapist and lifelong runner with over 15 years of competitive running experience. I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from USC, and through both my clinical work and personal experience, I’ve seen how powerful movement can be in transforming lives. I offer three ways to work with me: in-clinic physical therapy for injured runners, in-clinic performance training for runners who want to train smarter, and in-home performance training for runners who want high-level coaching without leaving home. My mission is to help runners stay strong, recover better, and continue experiencing the joy and adventure that running brings.

Dr. Jake Ogden, PT, DPT
