On the first Tuesday of every month, we bring you our 'Ask Us Anything' series, in which Matt Phillips (creator of runchatlive.com) is joined by the a group of Sports Therapy Association members to answer YOUR questions (emailed to matt@thesta.co.uk).
In this episode 'Ask Us Anything: 'Therapy for Runners', we delve into the interplay between sports therapy and running, with the expert panel of STA members, who are also runners, offering unique insights into this niche field. The panel features Shane Robinson, Hannah Tabram, Penny Demos, Chris Kitson, and Sarah Clatworthy.
The discussion reveals the significance of being a runner in effectively treating running-related injuries and emphasizes the importance of understanding the running community's language and nuances. We also address the challenges therapists encounter when advising patients to reduce their running time due to injuries.
We unmask the unique nature of running as a self-inflicted, non-contact sport with high bodily loading. Experiencing running-related injuries first-hand enhances a therapist's empathy and improves treatment outcome. The episode also provides tips on attracting runners to your clinic and underlines that running speed or proficiency doesn't determine therapeutic effectiveness.
We further delve into special running scenarios, including trail running and Canicross. Learn about the specific challenges, prevalent injuries, effective training strategies, recovery techniques, and specialist gear for these forms of running. From first-time runners to trailblazing experts, this episode provides a comprehensive guide to the thrilling and demanding terrain of trail running and Canicross.
Get an inside look into Canicross, where runners and dogs team up to conquer trails. Explore the dynamic equipment setup that propels runners forward and the diverse challenges it brings. Learn valuable Canicross training tips, the crucial role of warming up, and the psychological transition required for this fast-paced sport.
This episode is a goldmine of shared experiences, expert advice, enlightening observations, and practical takeaways for therapists and runners alike. Listen in for unique insights on understanding runners, overcoming fear of movement, and the importance of a runner's lifestyle outside training. Tune in to episode 192, where every step takes you further into the exciting world of running and sports therapy.
