RUNNER'S CLINIC

The Runner's Clinic is a combination of the Running Video Analysis and either the Functional Injury Prevention or Injury Screen. The focus of this program is to give runners an opportunity to have a preventive assessment of their flexibility and strength needs along with an analysis of their running form. Often the underlying causes of running form issues include weakness or tightness issues.

 

A good candidate for this program is a new runner wanting to help correct imbalances they may have or a runner wanting to help prevent injury as they move up to a 1/2 or full marathon.
