WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“I really like the running readiness assessment and breakdowns for each of the screening tools. I also liked the interventions provided based on specific mobility/stability impairments. Since the course is self-paced, I’ve already effectively used some of the strategies with my runners before even finishing the course!
“From reviewing the case studies which bring together the whole systematic approach, I’ve been able to determine a better prescription for the runners I’m working with who are recovering from running injuries. Already, I am seeing more runners referred by current patients.
“It’s been 2 weeks since I have taken the course. It is exciting to see how easily the information translated and that my runners are responding to the techniques.
