Running is one of the most popular athletic activities in the world and is the cornerstone of almost all sporting activities.  It is also one of the most “dangerous” in that the injury rate for runners is about 65%.  But it doesn’t have to be that way!  There IS a proper way to run, and we can teach it.  It is called the Pose Method of Running.  Just as you have to learn how to swing a racket or throw a ball, you have to learn how to run.  Every movement is made of specific “poses”.  If you were asked to get in a wind up for a pitch, you know what that looks like.  But do you know what the proper running pose is?

In order to run faster, run further, avoid injuries and reduce impact, you need to improve your technique.  The Pose Method of Running teaches you how to do this.  Simply put, all you need to do to run is Pose, Fall, and Pull.  It is much more than just running on your toes, and if the technique is taught correctly, that isn’t even the emphasis.  Keep it simple:  Pose, Fall, Pull

If you watch little children running, it looks as if they are about to fall with every step.  Kids know how to run!  And then we fill their minds with “stride out”, “heel to toe”, put them in thick, hard soled shoes, and some of them are just fine with this and don’t get injured.  But from the earlier statistic, 2 out of every 3 runners have an injury at some point each year.

So you ask, why don’t all professional athletes run this way?  If you watch the running technique of those that have chronic battles with injuries: ITB friction syndrome, stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, runner’s knee, etc, you will be able to pick out the problem.  Do you have an injury or have you been told you should never run again?  I think that is the wrong answer.  If you LOVE running, we can teach you how to run again, most likely with a lot less pain.  Training starts at $80/hour.
