Prevention of Running Injuries
Bowen Physical Therapy Services Inc.

Do you have a current running injury? Have you ever had an injury? Would you like to avoid getting injured? This assessment will provide you with information on the proper running gait and will provide an individualized exercise program to avoid injury.

Did you know that the majority of running injuries are due to repetitiveness and improper shoewear? One of the best ways to run is barefoot, which is proven by runners. Most Kenyan runners run everywhere in the country barefoot and have few injuries compared to North Americans.

The most common running injuries are patellofemoral syndrome (knee pain), iliiotibial band syndrome (outside knee pain), tibial stress syndrome (also known as shin splints ), Achilles tendinopathy (heel pain) and plantar fasciitis (foot pain).

Would you like to use the minimal amount of energy when running? If so, find out the most efficient running gait in order to save energy. With a proper gait, you will have more energy to run further and faster.
