Do You Want To Run For LIFE?
(No Matter Your Age…)
A Personal Message From Dr. Lynne G. Virant
- Are you worried about running as you get older because you fear that you’ll get hurt?
- Are you afraid of slowing down or not running at your best like you were able to do in the past?
- Are you determined to achieve your running goals no matter what age?
- Are you concerned that you’ll have to stop running and lose your ability to stay healthy?
If You Answered “Yes” To Any Of These Questions,
You Are In The Right Place!
Running for life IS possible, even as your body changes with age. We see many Pensacola runners who desire to keep their bodies healthy and active by running, no matter how many children, grandchildren, or even great-grandchildren they have!
Your body is going to change, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up on Running.
Here at The Movement Clinic, we specialize in helping runners overcome aches, pains, injuries, or life changes.
There’s A Lot Of Bad Advice Out There For Runners Who Want To Keep Running - No Matter Their Age…
FALSELY Told…
- You’re doing too much, you just need to slow down, run less frequently, and rest in between.
- Pain with running is “normal” with age and you just deal with it.
- To keep active you’ll have to take pain pills the rest of your life.
- You just need to stretch more before and after running.
But, The TRUTH Is...
- Slowing down just means moving less. Our bodies don’t slow down because we got old, our bodies get old because we slow down. Hmmm….
- It’s not normal to be in pain while running, no matter your age!
- Pain pills don’t address why you’re hurting and can cause other problems.
- Just stretching more won’t keep you running longer. Stretching, recovery, rest, nutrition, strength training, an effective training plan, motivating goals, a supportive community...These are all necessary for successful running at all ages, but especially as we get older and strive to keep running!
When It Comes To Running For LIFE...
- You must choose the right provider and running specialist who understands YOUR needs and goals. If you don’t, you could end up trying unnecessary treatments that may keep you from running (like pain medications or surgery) or give up running too soon.
- You must work with a provider who is an expert in running and knows what is needed to keep you active and healthy as your body and life changes.
- That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT and effective solution to your problems.
At The Movement Clinic We’ve Created A 3 Step Process To Help You Run For Life:
STEP 1
We Get to Know YOU
Our FIRST step is to listen to your story.
Remember when you first started running? It may seem like you are beginning again, but in reality, you are starting with a foundation built from your running past and your most recent history.
We take time to learn about:
- Who you were and who you are now
- How you move
- Why you want to run to keep running
We believe it is possible to run FOR LIFE! We get to know what that life looks like for YOU.
STEP 2
We Implement YOUR Customized Plan Together
YOU need a plan tailored to YOUR needs and YOUR goals (at home, at work, and at play!)
Often older runners tend to base goals on what “I used to be able to run”, follow old routines, ignore aches and pains for too long and overestimate what they can achieve. This can lead to frustration and giving up too soon. Your body is different so your approach
When you partner with The Movement Clinic, we work TOGETHER with you as a community to set up YOUR customized plan so you an stay committed, be consistent, and get back to loving running again!
STEP 3
We Coach and Teach You How to Be Active FOR LIFE
“What would be possible if there were no limits to YOUR running?”
When working towards new goals, it’s difficult to see beyond the struggle..
Once you start to make small steps towards your goal… YOUR vision of running often becomes even greater!
Suddenly there are no limits and we coach and teach you ways to think and move so you can be RUN FOR LIFE.
Finally Get Rid Of Your Pain From Running And Keep It From Coming Back!
Let’s chat about how you can feel like yourself again.
Sincerely,
