Runner’s Corner Injury Clinic

If I could eliminate one element from my beloved sport of running, it would be the high propensity for sustaining overuse injuries. Wouldn’t it be great to just train as hard as the mind is willing, and allow outcomes to be determined by talent and hard work? Unfortunately, durability is part of the equation, and I’ve spent a good portion of my life trying to master this variable.

My personal experiences with injuries has aided in my podiatric career, and now I love helping other athletes. I resonate well with those who are dealing with injuries, and those who are frustrated with the prolonged downtime from their sport. Last month I was invited to Runner’s Corner in Orem, UT to perform a free injury assessment clinic. The turn out was outstanding for a Saturday morning!

Most of the runners were struggling with chronic issues that just weren’t getting better despite cross training, shoe gear changes, and orthotics. It took a few short minutes to analyze their gait, make a diagnoses, and prescribe a home treatment protocol for getting back to pain free running.

I look forward to returning to Runner’s Corner every couple months to make the free injury clinic a tradition! I hope to become a valuable resource in our Utah running community. I’m willing to share my time and knowledge to help others achieve their athletic pursuits.
