In this episode, we discuss: Braces - The human body is meant to move freely. Learn how braces lock up your joints preventing you from moving freely. Runners wear braces to alleviate pain, but braces do not protect a runner from injury. In fact, it leads to more serious problems. Shots - Cortisone can cause joint and cartilage damage when it is used for prolonged periods. It can also lead to tendon rupture as it weakens the body to dissipate pain. Discover how the pain is simply a result of the real problem, and why shooting the pain spot with cortisone actually deconditions your muscles, and creates new injuries.  KT Tape - Has had a class-action lawsuit against them for false claims of preventing or fixing injuries, and the federal government WON, for a reason. We discuss the myth and misconceptions of KT-Tape and why your favorite athletes wear it, and why you should probably NOT use KT-Tape as a runner.

How does working out hurt a runner? As soon as a runner feels pain the first thing they do is run to do strength training. And it’s the WORST thing any athlete or anyone in pain can do. You build that dysfunction you are operating on. Worse. You MUST address the movement pattern to stop the pain, or you build it stronger.  Most trainers do not have injury education, it's not what they are there for so they don't have to know. BUT it's important that we all know our limits in the health profession. Many trainers send my clients to get them “fixed” and then back into training. That is a trainer that understands the difference. And the EGO is out of it.  Training is not conditioning.  Muscles/workouts are EASY, #RunPainFree address the JOINT level, which dictates muscle.   Loading a pattern solidifies that mechanic, and therefore the injury is stronger.  When you bypass the joint and go after the muscle, you create more injuries.  EGO has no place when it comes to injuries and peoples body. Sadly, TOO many in this health industry have egos bigger than they admit. And This habit tends to hurt people.  Foam roll first no matter what you feel! It will release the strain (go listen to my IT BAND podcast)  Backtrack when you first felt the pain Can you map the chain reaction to your pain Create the movement that hurts most 

Why Most Runners Have Weak Dysfunctional Hamstrings Are your hamstrings doing the job of the glutes? Like many things, I have come to find out the ROOT of the cause for many runners hamstring injuries. The reason is, runners never build their glutes; they are trained to lift with the quad and keep the hamstring long. An example of this is why when you squat, and your foot turns out, is a sign your hip is off and not supported by mass, indicating bad form if your feet/foot turns out! Joint range compared to stability (muscle mass) has to be balanced, or you're in high risk for injury. This action is why a dancers body is dysfunctional mechanically as a human. A complete opposite example of this is a football player, a lot more mass compared to flexibility/range = high risk for injury. Runners, are taught to PUMP (build) the hamstring, and build quads, even though the running community agrees the glutes are the most important, the lack of education here results in pushing the hammies to overfire disallows the glutes to fire, which then leads to the hamstrings not doing their job and taking on the responsibility of the glutes.

Why running on a treadmill is hurting your body more than you know… Treadmills have a high rate of hamstrings injuries.  Due to the shortening of the stride that the body does naturally due to the proprioceptors (the awareness of your surroundings and how much space you have)  firing. Because you are on a belt, the legs naturally feel that and adjust, making your stride shorter. Shorter stride can mean: 1- Toe Striking 2- Lack of Hamstring Extension 3- No Glute Function 4- Quad Running 5- Overuse of Hamstring in a Dysfunctional Manner for Running  6- Hip Lock Up 7- Back Pain  All of which results in hamstring injuries. Especially in Asics sneakers (based on 2 years of hamstring strain case studies findings revealing the majority of hamstring strains are women, on the treadmill and those in Asics.).  Women strain the insertion up under the glute. Where Men straining at the middle of the hammy  Furthermore, holding on while running is a recipe for a very serious hip injury, most commonly resulting in Torn Hip Labrums.  Yes in the cold, the treadmill is a go to, and this podcast addresses how to do it safely, keeping your stride open while using the right muscles (glutes) and extending the hamstrings.

The #RunPainFree Podcast Ep. #2, It is important to understand the #RunPainFree Program, in order to know, there is nothing like it on this planet. Yeah, that is a big statement, because,... well, we do out of this world work.   The RunPainFree Beliefs, Programs, & Philosophy Dance, body movement, personal training, athletic training, sport specific training, T3 equinox training ( special cases diabetes, injury.. etc.) , physical therapy, FMS,  severe injury, running specific What true correction consists of 4 days per week at minimum its a 6 months program and why what happens to the body throughout the process when it clicks and the body goes from 0-60 in one day People who are told never to run again, not to run the marathon they trained all year for, people with stress fractures that come to us a week OF the marathon, that we get not only running, but running by us in the marathon smiling. Someone in a boot, who stays in the boot while in correction, so we can work on what caused them getting into the boot in the first place.  A person with one pain, but we find 15 other injuries that resulted in that pain that brought them to us. And yes, the basic IT Band, Runners’ Knee, Plantar Fasciitis, Knee Pain.. basic stuff we fix too, of course. All those are result of something bigger, and we always go to the root, not the pain spot.
