In just 3 weeks I cannot believe what a difference it has made in my rehab. I have been, of course, employing a mulitude of therapies including ART, acupuncture, nutritional changes, X training but I think your strengthening exercises have made the most tangible and significant difference. ...Thanks again - your DVD is the best $20 I ever spent.

"I am stoked about getting this DVD as I have looked high and low for a good source to help me do the right things to put my running back together. I am on the back end of a really nasty case of Plantar Fascitis and have been trying to put together a good rehab program to keep it from EVER coming back! I am confident that the right exercises and stretching routine can keep this from reoccurring, but I just didn't have the information. Yours looks to be the best for a runner as you can bet I have looked at about ever place imaginable to figure this injury out. I am an Ironman triathlete who will not take no for an answer!! Can't wait to put this into action.Told my other banged up tri geek buds about it too, we all need to get well right about now and set up a better season with the proper rehab and protocol." J. Dorris, MO. |

"This DVD presents the most specific program available for runners to develop core stability, strength, balance and flexibility."SPECIFICITY: The exercises selected for The Injured Runner – A Balanced Solution replicate the arcs of motion and types of muscle contractions used in running. It is the most specific exercise routine available for runners. It will help you more quickly and completely recover from an injury and prevent future injury. CORE STABILITY: Your trunk is the control center for your lower body. Core stability is the foundation for all sport activity – especially running. STRENGTH: Recent research has made significant breakthroughs in demonstrating the effectiveness of strengthening for running injuries. Strengthening is often the missing link in a runner’s training and recovery program. BALANCE: Running is a series of controlled falls. Balance training can improve the control and efficiency of each step. Muscular balance is also essential. This program is designed to strengthen all of the muscles used while running and restore balance to your muscular system. FLEXIBILITY: You don’t have to talk to many runners to learn that stretching tight muscles is a key component to injury prevention and gently stretching an injured area can speed recovery. |

Cross Country Team is Injury Free! |
The Mesa State Cross Country Team of Grand Junction, Colorado has just completed its first injury free season. Team members were evaluated at the beginning of the season to assess leg and trunk strength / endurance. Several of the harriers were amazed to see the imbalances they had developed from previous injuries or not performing appropriate core training. Based on the test results each member implemented the exercises presented in the DVD “The Injured Runner – A Balanced Solution” to restore muscular balance. Coach Gig Leadbetter reported “We have not had an injury since beginning this program and our training program is the same – none of those hip or IT band problems that plagued us last year.” |
