Should Runners Stretch Before or After Running?
It Depends...

➡️ Dynamic stretching before your run: wake up your muscles
➡️ Static stretching after your run: help your muscles recover

Whether you’re ramping up for a spring race, hitting peak summer mileage, or maintaining fitness through the off-season, one thing stays constant: how you stretch matters as much as how you train.

Runner warm-up routine for 5K training 🏃‍♂️

Most runners skip this—and feel it by mile 2.

If your first mile feels stiff, slow, or heavy… your body isn’t ready yet.

Try these 3 quick moves before your run:
• Open up your hips
• Activate your glutes
• Loosen your stride

It takes less than 60 seconds—but it can completely change how your run feels.

Save this for your next run and try it today.

Run strong today. Still run in July.

Want to build full-body endurance?

Locomotion—the art of moving your body efficiently through space!

This ties everything together, combining strength, coordination, and endurance for real-world activities like walking, running, carrying loads, or chasing the kids.

Key Form Tips:
• Maintain tall posture—chest up, core braced, shoulders down.
• Smooth, controlled steps or crawls—think “strong and stable.”
• Natural arm swing for balance and power.
• Breathe steadily throughout the movement.

Common Mistake to Avoid:
• Slouching forward or rushing with poor posture—keep upright to protect your spine and maximize efficiency!
• Shuffling feet or dragging (reduces power)—drive from heels/toes with intent.
• Holding breath—keep rhythmic inhales/exhales for better endurance.

Goals & Progressions:
• Beginners: Unloaded farmer’s walks or bear crawls (short distances), 3 sets of 20-40 meters.
• Intermediate: Add light weights (dumbbells/kettlebells) to carries.
• Advanced: Heavy loaded carries, sled pushes, or longer bear crawl circuits.

Why It Matters:Locomotion builds full-body endurance, grip/core strength, metabolic conditioning, and smoother gait—preventing injuries and boosting daily mobility.

You’ve now mastered all 7 functional movements—massive congrats! Combine them in workouts and feel unstoppable all year

Movement Monday | Spring Warm-Up for Recreational Athletes

Getting back to tennis, pickleball, golf, or running? Start with a dynamic warm-up to improve mobility, coordination, and injury prevention.

This sequence includes:
• Footwork prep — quick steps, shuffle, and backpedal to stay light and ready
• Walking lunge + rotation — activate hips, core, and rotational control
• Straight leg kicks — improve hamstring mobility and coordination
• Sumo lunges — build strength for lateral movement and stability
• Arm circles + shoulder rolls — prep shoulders for overhead and rotational activity

Focus on controlled movement and proper form—not speed.

Your body deserves a warm-up—no matter your age.

Share this with a teammate who needs a better warm-up.

If your child plays sports, performance testing can be a powerful tool for injury prevention and athletic development.

By evaluating how an athlete moves, jumps, lands, and stabilizes, physical therapists can identify weaknesses or imbalances that may increase injury risk. Early insights help young athletes train smarter, move better, and perform with confidence.

Whether they play soccer, basketball, volleyball, or another sport, understanding movement mechanics can support both performance and long-term health.

Confidence starts with knowing how your body moves.

Sports Performance Testing for Youth Athletes | Pre-Season Injury Prevention

Before the season starts, many athletes jump straight into training and competition without understanding their movement baseline. Pre-season sports performance testing helps identify key factors that impact both athletic performance and injury risk.

A sports performance test evaluates important areas such as strength, balance, mobility, and movement asymmetries. These factors can influence speed, power, coordination, and overall performance in sport.

Pre-season athlete screening helps uncover weaknesses early so athletes can train with a clear plan instead of guesswork. Addressing mobility limitations, strength deficits, and imbalances can improve movement efficiency and reduce the risk of common sports injuries.

This type of testing is especially valuable for youth athletes during growth spurts, when rapid physical changes can affect coordination, balance, and mobility.

💡 Test first. Then train smarter.

Therapeutic Associates physical therapists support athletes with sports performance testing, injury prevention strategies, and individualized training recommendations.
