Pain Free Running

Runners are notorious for running through pain.
Not good, as that can exacerbate injury.
But how to fix things?
A new study finds you can retrain runners' gait patterns and the fix holds. The biggest issue, keeping runners on the treadmill and off the road during the re-training.

Researchers at the Running Injury Lab at the University of Delaware looked at runners with pain from tibial stress fractures of patellofemoral pain syndrome ( pain under the knee cap).
They undewent an 8 session bio-feedback program.

When the problem with their gait was determined, they were retrained on how to hit the ground with bio feedback machinery. Bottom line, pain pretty much disappeared and the gait fix held.

Granted, this was a very small study, but if you're a runner and suffer injury, which by the way 76% of runners will injure themselves in a year, talk with your physical therapist. Could be relief is a couple of training sessions, away.
