Strava Now Enables Recording of Physical Therapy, Bringing Users Closer to a Full Picture of Their Fitness Journey

SAN FRANCISCO - April 30, 2026 -  Strava, the app for active people with more than 195 million users, today announced the addition of Physical Therapy as a dedicated activity type on the platform. Beginning today, all Strava athletes can record Physical Therapy alongside their runs, rides, walks and swims, treating recovery, prehabilitation and rehabilitation as intentional, structured training.

Injury and recovery are universal experiences for active people, but have long fallen outside the scope of fitness tracking experiences. Physical Therapy joins more than 50 activity types already supported on Strava, including yoga, weight training, and pilates — part of the platform's ongoing effort to reflect the full spectrum of how people move and care for their bodies. These features also include: the Recover Athletics app, which is purpose-built for mobility, strength and resilience training, helping active people build the foundation that makes everything else possible; and Recovery activity tags, which enable athletes to annotate and track their full range of activities, whether performance-related or those undertaken on lighter days.

“The balance between activity, recovery and rehabilitation is built into the Strava product, to motivate our users safely.  It's as hard, if not harder, to come back from an injury. With the launch of Physical Therapy, athletes can say 'I showed up today, I did the work, and I'm still moving forward.'” said Matt Salazar, Strava's Chief Product Officer. “We want to make sure all the great things about Strava that help users build habits and find motivation also support this part of a user's active life. Building oneself back from injury is as meaningful of an achievement as setting a new PR."
