Do you treat a lot of runners and end up with mixed outcomes? While “traditional” physiotherapy can be effective in helping these clients, a deeper understanding of running injuries and the running gait cycle 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.

The purpose of this course is to provide you with: 

  • A practical, evidence-based framework that will teach you how to 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!)

We guarantee that you will complete this course with the ability to take any runner from injury to starting line, no matter the goal.

How the Course Works Best: 

- Purchase online access to work through course material at your own pace

- Join us at an in-person session to practice your running analysis skills and pull everything together - click the link to email us confirming your attendance!

 

You can purchase the course and not attend in-person, but we recommend the real-life practice!
