The Running
Strong Program
What is it?
A 4 session program to improve your running and decrease your chance of injury.
What is it composed of?
- Detailed analysis of your running history and programming to find predictors of injury
- High Speed Camera (240 frames/second) analysis of your running form
- Detailed functional evaluation of your physical function designed to find weak links
- Custom created corrective exercise and performance based exercise program including 3 follow up sessions
Is it covered by insurance?
Yes. I am both a physiotherapist and chiropractor. Each session can be billed separately and our rates are well within the normal fees charged for regular physiotherapy sessions
The cost?
$400.00 for the initial 1 hour session plus 3 follow up sessions.
The timeframe?
The timeframe is surprisingly flexible. Some people need a follow up session within a week of the initial evaluation. Others might need a follow-up session within 3 weeks. Having this flexible time frame allows us to tailor the program to your needs.
Can I work with my existing coach or personal trainer?
Absolutely. In fact, this is encouraged. I regularly work with running or triathlon coaches to create safer and better training programs. If you already work with a personal trainer we can speak with your trainer about encorporating the running performance program into your existing exercise sessions.
