How a gait analysis can help injured runners. 3 real running injury cases that cutting edge technology and running form analysis helped get to the bottom of.

When Erika first started with us, she was a brand new runner doing some home strength workouts with lighter dumbbells or bodyweight. Her goal was to be able to run healthy, stay generally strong and deal with some of the mild lingering issues she was dealing with from having her 2 baby girls.

Leslie was dealing with significant peroneal tenidonpathy and partial tearing on her R ankle for over a year before coming to The Run Rx.

Achilles tendonitis/tendinopathy is one of the most common issues we see with our runners. Our tendons facilitate movement by transferring forces generated by muscles to the skeleton. They deform under load to store and return strain energy, making them critical during locomotion. The Achilles is the largest, strongest, and thickest tendon in the body, and experiences 5-7x your body weight per step during running.

Why power makes for the fastest runners and how to incorporate power and plyometric training into your strength training

One of runners biggest dreads👀. A plantar fasciitis diagnosis is often slapped upon any pain occurring in the arch of the foot and there's a painful amount of "5 steps to fix your plantar fasciitis" posts out there (🚨spoiler alert: it's not that simple and not that generic)

Should you run through pain and is ice on the outs? We’re talking through your burning questions on running injury management.

A look at a Run Rx gait analysis and gait retraining and strength for a runner seeking to improve running performance and speed on his next marathon

The major marathon season is behind us and you're probably already thinking about the next one. The post-race aches and pains have worn off and you're already eager to jump back into training. Whether you PR'd and are looking to build on recent success, or didn't quite finish how you wanted and looking to your next shot, this "off-season" provides an important opportunity for growth as a runner.

While the glute max may be the workhorse, the glute med is what allows it to create force by creating a stable foundation. It's the unsung hero of the hips.

How your body needs control or “software” and capacity or “hardware” so support healthy running. The differences and how to apply them

Running-related injuries are complex and often a result of many factors. The biggest causes relate to running form, impacts and durability.
