What Runners Need To Know About Joint Maintenance
59:07 Share

When dealing with everyday pain and tightness in your body, life may not be as enjoyable as it could be, and this extends to running. You become more injury-prone, your performance suffers, and movement becomes less enjoyable. Above all, you may not be living up to your full potential.

If this resonates with your recent experiences, tune into this episode with Dr. Grayson Wickham, a Physical Therapy expert and founder of the Movement Vault. Dr. Wickham is on a mission to assist runners in moving better, performing better, reducing pain, and leading better lives. During this conversation, we explore various topics, including:

• The epidemic of back pain in the running community and why 99% of it is preventable.
• The importance of differentiating between static and active stretching. Active stretching is to joint maintenance what brushing your teeth is to tooth maintenance.
• How your choice of shoes may impact the health of your feet.
• Exploring whether sitting is the new smoking and providing actionable advice on what to do about it.
• Identifying the best times of day for active stretching and the top 5 stretches that runners should incorporate.

Moreover, if you believe there's room for improvement in your joint maintenance, range of motion, and physical durability during crucial training blocks, this episode is a must-listen. Connect, Comment, Community
