North Brooklyn Runner’s Form Fabulous Workshop

NBR

 

Most running injuries are caused by an asymmetry in technique, strength or range. This uneven form can increase the amount of stress placed on a part of the body. As physical therapists, we look for these asymmetries and facilitate a return to symmetry. Symmetry is not only seen in the legs but also with the trunk, arms and shoulder. With this symmetry comes efficiency. In this talk, we will discuss:

The connection between the legs and shoulders during running

  • How rotation is the key to a powerful pushoff
  • Reciprocal movements between shoulder and hips
  • Drills to reinforce symmetry and rotation
  • How this will fit into your own running style
  • Key muscles and how they should be trained

On Wed June 20th, after the regular Wed Night run, come out at 830 pm to the track and learn some form tips!
