Comprehensive Assessment & Treatment of the Running Athlete
Copyright :
Runners require individualized training and competition to safely participate in their sport. The dosage and recovery is different for all. The physical strengths and weaknesses are different for all. The body is magnificent in its ability to find a way to complete a task but often at a cost of undue stress. It takes more than running to become a better runner. A more comprehensive approach to correct faulty posture, motion limitations, muscle tautness, muscle weakness, biomechanics, core stability, nutrition, and running efficiency may help repair, prepare, sustain, and improve your running athlete.
