Do you struggle with running injuries? Read on!

Here’s why:

This often leads runners down a path of a few treatment options. After weeks or months of trying off-the-shelf products, home remedies, and alternating rest periods, the underlying cause is left untouched.

Without fixing the underlying issues, the imbalance reamins and continues to feed the injury.

Understanding and fixing imbalances is paramount a long and healthy running career.
