Have you been struggling with an injury for what seems like forever? Or are you worried that’s what’s going to happen? If you’re like a lot of my clients, you’ve already been to a doctor, physical therapist, massage therapist, Pilates teacher, yoga class, acupuncturist, and you’re foam rolling religiously. And still your problem lingers.
This is a really common situation, and there are good reasons for it. I’ll be offering a free webinar this Saturday explaining why conventional treatments for running injuries often don’t work and what to do instead.
Solve Your Running Injury
Saturday, 7 October 2017, 8:00 pm Central European Standard Time (7pm UK, 2pm Eastern, 11am Pacific, or find out what time that is for you here).
The replay will be available for a short time afterwards for people who can’t watch live.
I’ll discuss each of the most common running injuries — runner’s knee, IT band syndrome (or ITBS), achilles tendonitis or tendonopathy, plantar fasciitis or fasciosis, hamstring problems, quad problems, and back pain. I’ll explain the causes of each and steps you can take to truly solve them.
I’ll also cover the most common forms of treatment — ice, anti-inflammatory medication, stretching, rest, footwear-based solutions, and core stability exercise. I’ll explain what the most up-to-date medical knowledge tells us about each of these, and their effects on your injury.
And of course I’ll be taking questions, so if your injury isn’t covered or there’s something else on the topic you want to know from me, this is your chance! If you know you won’t be able to watch live you can email me your question in advance.
I’ve given this webinar a couple of times and still get requests consistently to offer it again, so here it is!
The webinar is now over. Please join our email list here to get notifications of future webinars, blog posts, programs, and services.
Hello Jae,
Back in March, in your blog, you have mentioned the importance of “aligning your hip joint over your ankle joint in mid stance by the twisting and sidebending movement of your pelvis, waist, and upper body”. I totally agree with this. My question is on running a fairly steep downhill. You know, the kind that, if you let the gravity take over, you seem to go faster and faster. How can I control the speed while maintaining slight lean forward, keep the alignment and not over stride? As I hit downhill, my strides get longer and longer. To avoid going too fast, I shorten the stride and increase cadence. Eventually, though, I end up leaning backwards a bit and hit the break which can cause a “knee problem”.
Many thanks,
Sam
Good question. I’ll be covering this in the camp but I’ll also address it in the webinar.
