Are you looking forward to starting running again after a long winter? At Atlas Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine, our therapists understand running injuries, and we will make sure you run pain-free this spring! Runners are often misled into believing unproven solutions to avoiding pain and injury. Not many people know that the number-one risk factor for runners to sustain an injury is having had an injury in the last 12 months. The other most common risk factors are: • Running experience of 0–2 years • Restarting running after extended rest • Overtraining (i.e., excessive mileage, excessive frequency, inadequate recovery time) To ensure you can get back to running or increasing your mileage without pain or injury, start with an injury evaluation and a biomechanical assessment to identify any factors that could contribute to pain or injury. Our therapists will take a thorough history to understand your training schedule, previous injuries, and overall health status. We use this information to create an individualized program to alleviate pain and get you back to running without limits. Request an appointment at Atlas Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine today!
