Running
Running, a sport that demands the utmost from your body, can sometimes lead to discomfort, pain, and injury. The intricate kinetic chain, involving your ankles, knees, hips, pelvis, and thoracic mobility, works together in harmony when you run. But what happens when there’s a hitch in this system? A blockage or incorrect movement pattern can disrupt the entire mechanical system, affecting your performance and potentially leading to injuries.
Understanding the Kinetic Chain
Every contact point you make with the ground transfers force up through your body. Ideally, this movement should be smooth and free-flowing. However, issues such as muscle tightness, weakness, or imbalances can disrupt this process. For instance, are your glutes firing correctly? Is something too dominant? What is your connective tissue doing? Even factors such as footwear quality play a crucial role. Our comprehensive evaluation considers all these elements when addressing your running-related concerns.
The Power of Chiropractic Care
Sports chiropractic care offers a solution to these issues. By identifying and addressing blockages or bad movement patterns, chiropractic care can help restore the smooth functioning of your kinetic chain. Not only does this reduce pain and discomfort, but it also optimises your running performance, helping you reach new personal bests.
