Get Back To Running But Feel Held Back By Pain And Stiffness
A Personal Message From Dr. Lynne G. Virant
- Are you worried about running again because you fear that you’ll get hurt?
- Are you overwhelmed by the task of choosing the right training program?
- Are you afraid of not stretching enough or stretching the wrong way?
- Are you determined to achieve your running goals no matter what?
If You Answered “Yes” To Any Of These Questions,
You Are In The Right Place!
It’s common to put off seeking help when you first get back to running.
You might be thinking, “It can’t be that hard, I’ve done this before! I’ll just start back on my old program.”
The problem with this is that many runners forget how much their bodies have changed since they last regularly ran for exercise.
When they try their old training program again, they find themselves injured or suffering from chronic aches and pains.
Over the years, your body changes and so your running program needs to change too!
There’s A Lot Of Bad Advice Out There For Adults Trying To Get Back Into Running Such As…
FALSELY Told…
- You’ve run before, so you know what to do to get started again. Just use your training plan from the last time.
- Pain while running is “normal”. You have to push through it all the time.
- It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been away from running. Once a runner, always a runner. Start slow and you’ll be back running your old mileages and times soon.
But, The TRUTH Is...
- A running plan is essential for a runner’s success. If you’re getting back after a long hiatus, there’s nothing better than a training plan.
- It’s not normal to be in pain while running, no matter your age.
- Different runners need different plans to achieve their goals. Some runners may need to start slow because their bodies have changed since the last time they regularly ran.
When It Comes To Getting Back To Running...
- You must choose the right provider to help you. If you don’t, you could end up delaying getting back to running longer than necessary or trying treatments you could actually avoid (like pain medications or surgery).
- It’s possible to get back to running naturally without invasive treatments. In fact, that’s the best way to stop your pain from running and keep it from ever returning.
- To do that, you have to have a provider who is willing to figure out WHY you’re struggling to get back to running in the first place.
- That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problems.
At The Movement Clinic We’ve Created A 3 Step Process To Help You Get Back To Running:
STEP 1
We Listen To Your Story
Our first step, before we do anything, is to listen to your story. We know that no two people are alike in the way their bodies respond to running and their goals.
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation and time for you to tell your story and your aspirations.
That way we get a deep understanding of what’s going on; not just with your body, but also how it’s impacting your quality of life.
STEP 2
We Find The Root Cause Of The Pain
Many runners who are trying to get back in the groove are held back by injuries, illness, or even other stressors going on in their lives. These things keep them from hitting the pavement or trail as often as they like.
Everyone’s running struggles are different. No one has the exact same problem caused by the exact same thing.
Our goal at The Movement Clinic is to find the original cause of your problem so we can find a permanent solution that gets you back to running even better than you were before!
STEP 3
We Create A Customized Plan To Get You Back To Running
Many times, what running advice you find on the internet is either misleading or not going to be enough to get you safely and efficiently back to running like you used to.
Since everyone’s situation is different, there isn’t a generic running program that is going to give you a lasting solution.
You Need A Customized Plan.
Sadly, many runners don’t get back to their full running form because they prolong without getting 1-on-1 help. (Maybe you’ve already experienced that…)
A guided customized training or treatment plan is your answer.
Finally Get Started Running!
Let’s chat about how you can feel like yourself again.
Sincerely,
