Description

Painless Running is designed to improve access to the human right to move. Humans are designed to run; it is one of our primary modes of locomotion. Unfortunately, the sedentary world we live in today removes some of our basic abilities to run that can result in running related injuries, or should we say sedentary related injuries, while we run. This course is designed to instruct the movement coach on the essential research and knowledge required to help humans run better and minimize risk of injury. Led by Dr. Brent Anderson, physical therapist and movement scientist and his colleagues Juan Nieto PT, NCPT and Blas Chamarro PT from Spain, this course will provide participants with exercises to prescribe and techniques to teach your clients to minimize their imbalances and strengthen their body’s natural design to run. Let Runity move you!
