Excel Physical Therapy and Fitness' Team Philly

May 2010

Excel Physical Therapy and Fitness was the force behind Team Philly Race Training, a one of a kind training program for the Broad Street Run and the Philadelphia full and half Marathon. Team Philly is a great collaboration between three ideal Philadelphia companies (Excel Physical Therapy and Fitness, Fusion Cross-Training and Philadelphia Runner) and endorsed by the City of Philadelphia. The training program is designed to create a community of Philadelphia athletes of all levels and become a healthier city as a whole. As a Team Philly leader, Excel was on hand to give injury prevention tips, stretches and exercises as well as assess and treat any injury.  Learn more about Team Philly by visiting their MeetUp.com page or facebook page.
