Your guide to a pain-free, thriving life.
Expert Running Physical Therapy in Sun Prairie, WI
You've put in the miles. You shouldn't have to stop because of pain. At MVP Rehab & Sports Performance, Dr. Erik Meyer delivers one-on-one, 60-minute sessions built around your goals — not an insurance schedule. Whether you're chasing a PR, recovering from a running injury, or just trying to stay on the road, we'll help you keep training while we fix the problem. Cash-based care. Real results. No rotating providers, no wasted time.
Still Hurting After Trying Everything?
You Keep Getting the Same Generic Plan
Clinics overloaded by insurance quotas don't have time to learn your body. You get 15 minutes with a provider, a handout of exercises, and a follow-up you dread. Nothing changes — because nothing was truly assessed.
You've Been Told to Just Stop Running
Rest isn't always the answer. Being told to stop the activity you love — with no clear return date and no real plan — is frustrating and demoralizing. Your goals matter, and your care plan should reflect that.
The Pain Keeps Coming Back
Surface-level treatment treats symptoms, not causes. When the root dysfunction is never addressed — whether it's a movement pattern, a mobility restriction, or a strength gap — the injury cycle just keeps repeating.
Sun Prairie's Running PT Clinic Built Around You
MVP Rehab & Sports Performance was founded on one belief: you shouldn't have to choose between getting better and staying active. Dr. Erik Meyer's cash-based model removes insurance restrictions so every minute of your 60-minute session is focused entirely on you — your body, your movement, your goals. From a comprehensive running gait analysis to hands-on manual therapy and sport-specific strength work, everything is built to keep you training while we resolve what's holding you back.

Three Steps to Running Pain-Free Again in Sun Prairie
Step 1: Relieve
Your first visit starts with a thorough movement evaluation and running assessment. We identify the root cause of your pain — not just the symptom — and deliver immediate hands-on relief through manual therapy, dry needling, joint mobilization, or soft tissue work so you feel a difference from day one.
​Step 2: Recalibrate
With the pain calmed down, we address the underlying dysfunction: movement pattern breakdowns, mobility restrictions, strength gaps, or faulty running mechanics. Corrective exercise, neuromuscular re-education, and progressive loading rebuild the foundation so the problem doesn't come back.
Step 3: Thrive
Once you're moving and running well, we shift focus to performance and resilience. Return-to-sport progressions, strength and conditioning, and a personalized long-term self-care plan ensure you don't just recover — you come back stronger, faster, and more durable than before.

Your Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know before your first visit to MVP Rehab & Sports Performance in Sun Prairie, WI.
Do you accept insurance?
​
MVP Rehab operates as a cash-based, out-of-network provider. This means we don't bill insurance directly — but it also means your care is never limited, shortened, or dictated by what a plan will approve. Many patients find they need fewer total visits with one-on-one, 60-minute doctoral-level care than they did with insurance-based PT. We're happy to provide a superbill if you'd like to submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
​
What happens at my first visit?
​
Your initial evaluation is comprehensive, unhurried, and personalized. Dr. Meyer will conduct a thorough movement screen and assessment, discuss your history and goals, explain exactly what's driving your pain or limitation, and deliver hands-on treatment during that same visit. You'll leave with a clear, actionable plan — or your evaluation is free (that's the MVP Eval Guarantee).
​
How long are sessions?
​
Every session is 60 minutes, one-on-one with Dr. Erik Meyer. No aides. No techs. No shared appointments. The full hour is yours.
​
What is the free Discovery Call?
​
It's a 15-minute, no-cost, no-obligation phone consultation with Dr. Meyer himself. It's designed to give you clarity about whether MVP Rehab is the right fit before you commit to anything. You'll get real answers — not a sales pitch.
​
Do you treat running injuries specifically?
​
Absolutely. Running physical therapy is one of our core specialties. We offer running gait analysis, running form assessment, and return-to-running progressions alongside hands-on treatment for conditions like Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, runner's knee, hip pain, and more. Our goal is to keep you running — or get you back to running — as quickly and safely as possible.
​
What is dry needling and do you offer it?
​
Dry needling uses very thin, flexible needles inserted directly into muscle tissue to release trigger points, reduce chronic tightness, and restore normal muscle function. Dr. Meyer is trained in dry needling and uses it regularly as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Not all physical therapists offer dry needling — it's one of the specialized tools that sets MVP apart.
