Runners: Join free webinar on reducing running-related injuries

Wednesday, November 11th, 2020

Join the College of Physical Therapy for a free Zoom webinar, “Three Key Principles to Reduce Running-Related Injuries,” at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 20.

Presenting will be Dr. Alison Modafferi, owner and physical therapist at Run the World PT & Performance. This is designed for all runners, whether you are new to running, run recreationally, or are more advanced.

The one-hour virtual presentation will cover three evidence-based principles to help reduce running-related injuries. We will discuss load management, variability and tendon stiffness and how they relate to running and injuries. We’ll also discuss practices to reduce injury risk.

Our reason for hosting? There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding running-related injuries. Together, George Fox University and Run the World have developed a framework backed by research to keep runners healthy.
