Physio Pro is proud to present our Run-Smart program. This program is an injury prevention/enhancement program specifically designed for runners. Due to the repetitive nature of running, overuse and repetitive strain injuries are common. Many of these injuries can be avoided if faulty biomechanics and dysfunctional movement patterns are identified and treated. This “pre-hab” approach is evidence based and many professional teams and athletes have implemented such programs into the training regimes with enormous success.
Individuals will be evaluated using components of the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). In addition to the SFMA evaluation, your therapist will also assess your foot structure, limb alignment (static and dynamic), limb flexibility, strength, as well as your mechanics with running. Your examination findings will be discussed with you and you will be given a specifically tailored program to address any dysfunctional movement patterns, flexibility, or strength issues uncovered in your evaluation. A follow-up appointment will be made to progress interventions and to reassess your objective findings. There will be a packet provided to all participants with pictures and descriptions of all interventions as well as tips to to enhance your training experience.
The complete program will last 6 weeks. Two visits will be needed to complete the Run-Smart Program at Physio Pro. Please Contact us with any questions.
