READY TO RUN WORKSHOP SERIES
To enjoy running and stay injury free, a foundation of good quality movement is required - before you begin to build a base and increase your capacity. As Physiotherapists working with runners everyday in the clinic, we see the toll that running can place on the body.
When the demand on your tissues exceeds your capacity, your body starts to compensate, becomes overloaded and finally breaks down. Pain and injuries can hamper your training and lead to serious long term problems with your muscles, tendons and joints.
To escape the 'boom/bust' cycle of pain and injury, a long term approach to building resilience is needed. Time and patience is required as you undertake a step-by-step process, allowing time for adaptation in the tissues.
Specifically targeted towards runners of all abilities, this workshop series will equip you with a wide range of techniques to:
- enhance relaxation
- improve breathing efficiency
- optimize flexibility
- increase core strength
- improve resilience in tissues
- run efficiently with less wear and tear on your body
- learn about the most common running injuries and how to prevent them
The workshop will be taught as a Pilates style class. All equipment is supplied.
