Do you want the knowledge and skills to implement runner-specific strength & conditioning programme and gait re-training?

Are you looking at progressing your rehab skills in key running injuries such as Patello-femoral pain, Bone stress injuries, Achilles tendinopathy and proximal hamstrings tendinopathy?

Do you want to optimise the return to running with minimal set-backs by establishing a progressive step-wise rehab programme in your injured runner?

As part of the course, all participants will receive:

• Essential Pre-course material and Extensive resources (more than 4 hours of high-quality pre-recording videos on running rehab)
• Access to key screening and rehab forms, used by the tutor for management of running injuries, to offer ‘Running Clinic’ Services in your clinic.

Many recreational runners fail on return to running, following rehabilitation, since they have been cleared to progress based on time-lines rather than clear functional achievements in terms of strength, functional capacity and pain levels.

This comprehensive two-day course provides a unique opportunity to integrate an evidence-based approach to injury management and performance enhancement in the management of running injuries. There will be a particular focus on application of strength and conditioning in the rehabilitation of runners. This highly practical course will give you the skills and knowledge to integrate training methods in the rehabilitation of runners and cover the key running injuries including patello-femoral pain, Achilles tendinopathy, gluteal tendinopathy and medial tibial stress syndrome.

Practical application of gait analysis and re-training in the management of common running injuries will also be covered on the course. On the day 2, we will be covering advanced training methods (plyometric, dynamic mobility and running drills) in the rehabilitation of runners and prescribe conditioning programmes with a deep understanding of how they affect pathology and performance. Plyometrics is a critical intervention for any patient who wishes to return to impact activities such as running and has shown to improve performance and reduce injury risk. These runner-specific strength and conditioning programmes will enable your clients to become faster, stronger and more efficient runners.

• Understanding the interaction between intrinsic and extrinsic factors in the aetiology of running injuries and overview of evidence-based management principles in the injured runner.
• Understand how to complete a thorough biomechanical assessment of the injured runner, including screening muscle capacity, joint mobility and running technique.
• Explore important strength and conditioning training principles to consider during rehabilitation of running injuries.
• Recognise the importance of achieving and assessing load tolerance and improving plyometric ability, in preparation to return to running.
• Be able to confidently prescribe adequately loaded exercise programs at home or in the gym to help your runners with injury and performance.
• Step by step rehab progression and return to running in key running related injuries including Patello-femoral pain, Achilles tendinopathy and proximal hamstring tendinopathy.
