Seems like everyone and their dog has force plates in their clinic now. 📊

It’s fantastic to see clinics keeping up to date on the latest tech and offering these services for their clients! 🙌

But the value isn’t just in having the tech, it’s in how you use it. 🤓

Take, for example, these two countermovement jumps.

Both produced similar jump heights and power outputs… but one shows a weaker deceleration strategy 📉 while the other shows a stronger deceleration strategy 📈.

Same outcome… very different story under the hood. 👀 Big implications when it comes to an athlete’s return to sport.

Force plates aren’t the advantage… knowing how to interpret them is. Make sure you’re getting more than just numbers. 🧠

I’ll say this as many times as it takes - most running injuries aren’t because of your form, shoes, or the fact that the impacts are “bad”… they’re usually the result of a mismatch between the load you’re asking your body to handle and the capacity it currently has. 📉

We rush to blame a number of things when something starts to hurt, but the reality is that running is a skill. It takes strength, coordination, and time to build up. ⏳

Yes, you can go from the couch straight into running - but if your body hasn’t had the chance to gradually build tolerance, you’re basically flirting with that injury line. ⚠️

The goal is to respect running and its demands. Build your capacity, progress your load, and your body will usually meet you there. 🏅

Do you actually need more arch support for symptomatic ankle pronation (like MTSS or tibialis posterior tendinopathy)? 🤔

Or could the amount of cushioning in your shoe be part of the problem? 👀

We are looking at a runner who showed clear ankle over-pronation and symptoms in a 40mm stack shoe… but had no significant pronation or symptoms when running barefoot (no support).

So what’s going on? 🤔
Is the shoe making them work harder than needed? 🤷‍♂️
Would less cushioning reduce the pronation contributing to pain? 🤷
Or is it just coincidence? 🤷‍♀️

The reality: it’s probably not as simple as simple as a shoe change - but interesting to see nonetheless.

Your footwear can change how you load your body but it’s only one piece of the puzzle. 🧩

📈 The most important factor? Load management.
Too much, too soon (regardless of the shoe) can overload tissue and lead to injury.

Technology isn’t here to replace clinicians, but it helps us make better decisions. 📊

A pretty cool part of my job is getting to connect with clinicians across the country and share ideas around rehab and running. 🏃‍♂️

2026 is shaping up to include more views like this. I’m grateful for the opportunities to teach - but even more excited to keep learning from the people I meet along the way.🙏

Most importantly, I’m also a husband and father, so I know where my priorities lie. Starting in April, I’ll be dropping to four days a week in an attempt to balance it all… wish me luck with that. 😅🤓
