Runners present with a unique set of injuries that demand more than generic rehab protocols. The Treatment of Common Running Injuries brings together the latest evidence on tendinopathy progression, plantar fasciopathy, patellofemoral pain syndrome, Achilles tendinopathy, MTTS, ACL cross-bracing, and biologic interventions like PRP — all translated into actionable strategies for clinical practice. This course challenges outdated methods, highlights where progressive loading makes the biggest difference, and equips clinicians with practical tools to deliver faster, more sustainable outcomes. Whether addressing calf mechanics in Achilles tendinopathy, sequencing exercises for patellofemoral pain, or integrating NMES for quadriceps recovery, learners will leave with a sharper, evidence-based framework to treat runners with confidence and precision.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
-
Critically evaluate outdated approaches such as routine icing, passive stretching, or sidelying hip abduction, and replace them with interventions that align with the latest clinical practice guidelines.
-
Apply progressive loading strategies for Achilles, patellar, proximal hamstring, and gluteal tendinopathies to improve tissue capacity and reduce reinjury rates.
-
Integrate adjunctive treatments—including taping, NMES, and shockwave—into rehabilitation plans to enhance patient outcomes beyond exercise alone.
-
Interpret the evidence surrounding biologic interventions such as PRP injections and translate research protocols into clear decision-making frameworks for practice.
-
Design evidence-based rehab progressions that optimize exercise prescription, dosage, and load management to accelerate recovery and improve running performance.
