Calling all runners!

I LOVE working with runners.  Runners are usually a PT’s dream client – they are active, self-motivated, and are usually willing to do just about anything to get back to the sport that they love without pain or injury.  Often, I have to be careful when giving a runner an exercise program, because they’ll not only do exactly what I asked them to do, but they’ll do it MORE in hopes of getting better faster.  This can be detrimental at times, but is a far better alternative to the patient that is not doing their prescribed exercises and wonders why they are not getting better.  The other thing that can be detrimental for some runners is that fact that often they just want to run – it does not come naturally to many of them to complete cross-training or do a consistent stretching program.
