Mastering Running Biomechanics & Treating Running Related Injuries (8 CPD)
R1,350.00
The purpose of this course is to introduce the clinician to the fundamentals of normal and pathological running forms. The use of observational and video analysis as an integral part of the running examination will be emphasized. In addition, strategies to modify running styles will be addressed as part of a comprehensive approach to treatment. Case studies will be utilized to promote the integration of the material presented.

Running is a demanding physical activity performed by millions of people worldwide. Given the repetitive high impact nature, many individuals who engage in this form of exercise experience pain or become injured. Managing the injured runner can be challenging as the causes of running injuries are often multi-factorial. Furthermore, a thorough biomechanical evaluation is often necessary to determine underlying injury mechanisms in order to guide treatment decisions.
This evidence-based course will address contemporary topics related to running mechanics, running related injuries and the rehabilitation of the injured athlete. The use of video analyzing as an integral part of the running examination will be emphasized, and strategies to modify running mechanics will be addressed as part of a comprehensive approach to treatment.
This course takes into consideration the specialized field which we work in by integrating the multidisciplinary team into the content.
