Summary
Let's face it: Nobody wants a seat on the injury bus. But sometimes we end up there anyway. It could start as a nagging niggle that progresses into a real sideliner or it could just be a persistent twinge that keeps us from performing our best. But how do you know what it is, where it's coming from and how to keep it from becoming a potentially serious injury?
This week we speak with Dr. Brianne Showman Brown, a licensed Physical Therapist who works to treat athlete's injuries without meds, injections or surgeries to facilitate a quick and safe return to running. She knows runners because she is a runner herself.
In this episode, Dr. Brown clearly explains what PF and ITB issues are and also what they may not be. She believes strongly in injury prevention and provides helpful tips on exercises that can be easily incorporated into even the busiest of lives.
We also discuss nutrition and hydration and the role they play in recovery and prevention. And although some self-diagnosis tips are shared, we also talk about when and why a professional should get involved in the diagnosis and treatment process.
There is an amazing amount of helpful information here and you may find yourself revisiting this episode more than once.
Oh, and if you participated in the Boston Marathon, this year or any other, please share your Boston Marathon experience on an upcoming bonus episode of Run To The Top by clicking here.
