Why Do Runners Keep Getting Injured?

Описание: Despite all of the recent advances in technology, the fact that on average, 56% of recreational runners get injured each year, has maintained consistently over the last 40 years.

The significant differences between walking and running are well known, but the effect on our bodies is poorly recognised or accounted for. Whereas walking includes distributing pressure over both feet as they remain in contact with the ground for a large percentage of the walking time, during running, only one foot remains in contact with the ground at any time. This means that a 10km run involves a foot hitting the ground 10,000 times with at least twice your body weight. Doing this without adequate preparation, training, condition and with often poor alignment then results in significant damage and pain.

This is why we've invested in Zebris Gait Analysis System which allows us to track the way you walk and run with force and pressure data, alongside two cameras to capture the full effect on your body - and what's causing your injury.

So ask yourself: Are you running to get fit, or should you be getting fit to run? By preparing and conditioning your body, we guarantee you'll see the incidence of injury decrease.

For an assessment with the Zebris to minimise the risk of future injury, or to identify and treat the cause of an existing injury, come in and see the expert team at Optimise Health, Toowoomba & Warwick.
