Calling all runners!

Dealt with injuries during your running career? Tried various methods of treatments, but the injuries just keep occurring?

Wanna try something different?

From both a personal experience - I’ve run almost everything from an 800 on the track to a marathon on the roads…and had all the common running injuries! 🥲

…to professional experience - I have 5+ year of experience working with track & field, cross country athletes of all levels, from AAU to Team USA. 🏃🏼‍♂️🇺🇸

Have you heard of the term myofascial “sling”? (also know as line, train, etc).

What are they and what are they made up of? What do they do? How do they function in your body? How can they effect your risk for injury and/or overall performance?

All these questions and more will be answered over the next few weeks in our Myofascial Sling series!

We will go in detail about:
-what muscles are in each sling?
-how does it function?
-what are some movement dysfunctions with each sling?
-stretches for each sling
-AND exercises that can help!

Follow along for some (hopefully!) helpful info and tips & tricks you can use at home to help your body move better!

The amount of time missed due to an injury can be devastating to any athlete, on any level. Whether you’re training for the USATF Outdoor Championships that are going on this week, or a casual gym goer…Injuries occur in all of us.

Improving your mobility followed by training your body how to functionally move is consistently shown to have positive effects on the risk for injuries!

Here at , we don’t want you to miss any of the amounts of time displayed above…we want to help you take a little extra time throughout your week and help you prevent that time missed!

Remember:

Proper functional mobility

Proper strength, power & endurance

Reactive or Proactive?

How would you rate yourself in your daily life? Do you look ahead? Trying to get ahead of the curve or prevent any issues that may occur? Or do you sit back and just wait and hope?

Why in health and fitness (really medicine overall), do we choose to be REACTIVE? We wait for sickness to occur, injures to happen.

Your body is an amazing thing, and it finds ways to compensate for all kinds of flaws (i.e., muscular imbalances, previous injures, congenital conditions).

However, why not get PROACTIVE? If we know that the ability to move properly and having at least a certain level strength and power are shown to decrease the overall risk of injury…why do we still choose to be reactive?

Here at , we are looking to help change that mindset in everyone from the average weekend warrior to elite level athletes!

If you have interest in being PROACTIVE, feel free to reach out for more info, tips & tricks, or any advice!

We are also open to any suggestions of injury prevention content anyone may have interest in!
