Do YOU have what it takes to RUN?
• The Flexibility? • The Strength? • The Stability? • The Neuromuscular Control? • The Mechanics? |
|
The Doylestown Sports Medicine Center's Comprehensive Running Program can assist YOU in developing the physical platform required for running.
It estimated that 65-85% of all runners are injured every year, sidelining them from achieving their goals in health, wellness and competition. Based upon the most current running research, Doylestown Sports Medicine Center has developed a comprehensive running program with the objectives of:
• Assisting the novice runner in the initiation of a running program.
• Assisting the novice to competitive runner in decreasing their incidence of injury.
• Assisting the novice to competitive runner in improving their running economy, i.e. Performance efficiency.
• Assisting the injured runner in returning to their pre-injury running level.
• Assisting the novice runner in the initiation of a running program.
• Assisting the novice to competitive runner in decreasing their incidence of injury.
• Assisting the novice to competitive runner in improving their running economy, i.e. Performance efficiency.
• Assisting the injured runner in returning to their pre-injury running level.
How it Works!
The Evaluation:• DSMC's program begins with a complete neuromusculoskeletal physical therapy evaluation. The evaluation assesses the specific neuromuscular requirements of running. Got kinks in your armor? Lets sort out what and where they are!
• A comprehensive review of patient history and training history is completed. • Assessment of range of motion, strength, flexibility and stability required of the body to run efficiently and effectively are assessed. • A complete biomechanical running analysis can also be performed to learn "How" you run. See our Running Analysis Page. |
The Plan:• From the evaluation an individualized program is developed with the runner based upon their specific needs and goals.
• Need to Learn How To:
|
The Treatment:• Deficits in posture, range of motion, strength, joint mobility/stability and core stability are addressed through physical therapy interventions to restore the neuromuscular and biomechanical requirements of running.
•Form drills are then implemented to address the individual’s running impairments. • A systematic and progressive transition to running program is initiated for the novice and injured runner. The program allows for the moderation of mechanical stress loaded into the body. |
Free Running Form Clinic
FREE Community Running Form Clinic! Current running research shows that proper mechanics can assist in the reduction of forces that increase risk of injury and decrease running economy. Based on this research, Doylestown Sports Medicine Center has developed a free running form clinic for the community. The goal of the form clinic is to provide education on proper running mechanics, ultimately lending to improved performance, decreased rate of injury and greater running enjoyment. Form clinics will be held at Doylestown Sports Medicine Center periodically throughout the year. Class sizes are limited. Call to reserve your spot today: 215-348-0666.
