The 5 Most Common Running Injuries & What To Do About Them
Here is our latest United in Stride Virtual Workshop: The 5 Most Common Running Injuries & What To Do About Them Whether you are running for fitness or have a goal race in mind, very few running training cycles occur without a single hiccup. Often times as runners, our first inclination is to go to google, self-diagnose and attempt to rehab the injury so we can get back training as quickly as possible. Sometimes, though, with an incorrect self-diagnosis, this can set you back even further. Join the United In Stride and Team With A Vision communities as we hear from Dr. Bryan Kent from Forward Spine & Sport. Dr. Kent brings a wealth of knowledge regarding sports-related injuries and how to address them quickly and effectively.
