Running Injuries
A Personal Message From Dr. Ross Gentry and Dr. Chris Beavers
- Are you experiencing persistent running-related injuries that don't improve with rest?
- Are you frustrated with the lack of results from pain medications, massages, stretching, and noticing your injury worsening?
- Have you been forced to reduce your running pace or completely halt your running routine?
- Are you actively seeking a lasting solution to enable your return to running now and in the future?
If you responded positively to these inquiries, you’ve come to the right place!
It is a common misconception to believe that a running injury will resolve itself or attribute it to stepping awkwardly, assuming it’s a typical issue encountered by all runners at some point.
If you are in this situation, rest assured you’re not alone, as we frequently encounter such experiences.
Running injuries constitute one of the most prevalent concerns we address in our clinic.
Before Seeking Treatment At Be Ready Performance Therapy, Numerous Patients With Running-Related Pain Often Receive The Following Advice, Which May Prove Ineffective In Addressing Their Injuries:
- Simply rest, and the problem will resolve itself (only to find themselves still suffering months later).
- It's considered a normal part of the aging process.
- Taking pain medication will solve the issue.
- The only solution is to modify your running routine.
The Reality Regarding Running Injuries Is As Follows:
- Merely resting without taking further action does not lead to significant changes. While you might experience temporary relief once you resume your activities, the pain and stiffness from your injury are likely to persist (you might have already encountered this firsthand!).
- It is not a normal part of the aging process to experience increasing running injuries.
- You don't have to rely on pain medication indefinitely to enjoy running. There are alternative options available that can enable you to run without pain and fear of injury.
