Full Seminar Description

Identify causes and risk factors for the most common running injuries, perform functional screening and clinical examination and develop conditioning and rehabilitation strategies for injury prevention and recovery/return to sport.

Over 40 million Americans participated in running events in 2007, a staggering 52 percent increase in female participation in the last 10 years and nearly 10 percent increase in males. The Boston Marathon has grown by almost 14 thousand participants since 1998. This is primarily because of the increased awareness of the health benefits of regular aerobic exercise. The rise in popularity of distance running has led to an increased incidence of running-related injuries. An average 150-pound runner competing in a marathon absorbs approximately 12 million pounds of impact. These forces placed on the runner's body often result in injury.

This one-day seminar provides health care and fitness professionals with skills and strategies to evaluate, manage, treat and prevent the most common running-related injuries. Participants will examine current research regarding conservative methods of treatment for these injuries. You will also learn how to design an effective injury prevention program for distance runners. Through hands-on lab you will learn how to perform a functional screen of the injured runner and apply the results to rehabilitation and injury prevention. Participants will leave this course with a better understanding of how common running injuries occur in order to better evaluate the runner and design more effective rehabilitation and injury prevention programs.
