Runners can be one of the most fun and rewarding populations to work with, but also one of the trickiest because of the many variables involved, as well as conflicting research and opinions. 

Runners report better experiences with their care providers when their practitioner has advanced knowledge of treating running related injuries (RRI’s). While “traditional” physiotherapy can be effective in helping these patients, a deeper understanding of the pathology in light of the demands of running is paramount to building consistently effective treatment plans. In addition, having the knowledge to provide patients with an appropriate return to run program will greatly decrease the likelihood that they will experience re-injury during this crucial phase of injury rehabilitation. 

The purpose of this course is to provide you with: 

• A practical, evidence-based framework that will teach you how to quickly determine the most likely cause of a running injury
• How to complete a thorough gait analysis and how to use real-time cues to decrease pain and improve running economy
• What types of shoes to recommend to runners of all abilities and why
• Best practices for treating common running problems
• How to build basic coaching plans to get your runners 100% back to their goals (and then some!)

This online course contains additional patient resources including 5k and 10k return to run plans. We guarantee that you will complete this course with the ability to take any runner from injury to starting line, no matter the goal.

It is our hope that you can use this knowledge to build your personal brand and your patient following at your clinic by becoming the go-to Running Physio in your community!
