Prehab instead of Rehab! Reducing Running Injuries by being Proactive
Stuart Wilson, PT |
With the right combination of mobility, stability, and other important "movement habits," you'll gain effective skills that you can implement in the clinic right away. Apply the strategies to common injuries such as runner's knee, ITB syndrome, Achille's tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, and more.
Strength Training for Runners — Design Programs Your Patients Will Actually Do!
Tony Mikla, DPT, CSCS, XPS |
Create straightforward, efficient, and practical exercises to help your patients develop well-rounded strength with these interventions that are easy, adaptable, and help reduce injuries.
Foundations of Linear Speed
Tony Mikla, DPT, CSCS, XPS |
Linear speed drives all the movements and behaviors we coach every day: gait, balance, lunge, step up, stairs, and of course, running. When you break down the mechanics, needs for mobility vs. stability, and patterns of sprinting — you can glean critical insights for all of the patients you treat. You'll establish a map of exercise progressions that go from a basic state of movement through advanced with specific clinical drills you can implement right away. This protocol is guaranteed to provide movement improvement with a long-lasting impact.
