Return to Running: The Current Concepts & Systematic Approach to Successfully Treating the Injured Runner - NorCal
This course provides participants with an in-depth exploration of current best evidence related to running biomechanics, injury theories, and targeted rehabilitation strategies. Participants will learn how to systematically perform a detailed observational running analysis, breaking down critical phases of the running gait cycle, identifying abnormal movement patterns, and understanding their relationship to common running-related injuries and performance deficits. Through a structured, evidence-informed framework, attendees will gain practical skills to accurately identify running dysfunctions and implement individualized, criterion-based interventions. Emphasis will be placed on integrating biomechanical principles, tissue loading considerations, and progressive exercise prescription to facilitate safe and effective return-to-run programming. By applying these concepts, clinicians and coaches will be empowered to optimize running mechanics, enhance performance, and reduce the risk of re-injury, ultimately improving outcomes for runners of all levels.
