The Data collected will be used to implement a personalized treatment to help improve your running economy and reduce running related injuries.
Strength and Conditioning
Runners are susceptible to extremely high loads over long periods of time called ground reaction forces. These forces are transmitted from the ground into the muscles, tendons, and bones of our body with each step over the duration of a run. Therefore, Our strength and conditioning training can ensure your tissues will withstand these large ground reaction forces and reduce the likelihood of injury resulting in less time missed running. Engaging in a customized strength and conditioning program will help prevent injury, improve running economy, endurance, increase power and speed, amongst countless other benefits. Let us customize an individualized strength program for you to maintain pain-free running and continue to crush PRs!
