🏃‍♂️ Did you know that 50–60% of running-related injuries are caused by training errors? That means most injuries aren’t just about your form—they’re about how you’re running week to week. Increasing mileage too quickly or adding too much intensity is often the hidden culprit behind nagging aches in your knees, shins, or hips.

At Pure Movement, we specialize in helping runners in Portage and Kalamazoo stay healthy, strong, and pain-free. When a runner comes to us with an injury, we don’t just look at biomechanics. We dig deeper into their training plan—because that’s often where the problem starts.

Here’s how we approach it:
1️⃣ Running Form Analysis – We break down your gait to identify inefficiencies and subtle issues that may cause pain.
2️⃣ Strength, Mobility, & Biomechanics – Weaknesses or tight areas can create compensations that increase injury risk.
3️⃣ Recovery Assessment – Sleep, stress, and nutrition all impact your ability to handle training loads.
4️⃣ Training Plan Evaluation – We review weekly mileage, intensity, and progression to prevent overuse injuries.

When all four areas are addressed, runners can return to the sport they love without recurring pain.

If you’ve been struggling with running pain, don’t guess—get a plan backed by science and personalized coaching. Our team can help you rebuild your running safely and efficiently.

Fall in Michigan might be my favorite time of year 🍁 — the colors, the crisp air, and the endless trails to explore.

We’ve been preparing for a trip out west (Montana & Wyoming) and decided to invest in a hiking backpack for the little dude 👶. Naturally, we had to test it out — first up north in Ludington/Manistee, and lately trekking through Al Sabo in Kalamazoo.

The leaves will soon be changing, the trails are quiet, and it’s been the perfect way to combine family time, fitness, and a little adventure. Hiking checks all the boxes — cardiovascular health, leg and core strength, and mental reset — all while enjoying the outdoors.

If you’ve been looking for a reason to lace up your boots, this is it. Grab the family, find a trail, and soak in the season before winter arrives.

Cross country season is in full swing 🍂 and I’ve been seeing a common theme in young athletes: arch and knee pain.

Often the culprit isn’t just “flat feet” — it’s hyper-mobility and lack of control during the landing phase of running. When the foot collapses too quickly into pronation, the plantar fascia and medial ankle tendons get overstressed. Over time, this rapid lengthening + lack of stability can lead to nagging pain that sidelines kids from the sport they love.

✅ The solution isn’t always custom orthotics or more stretching. For many young runners, we need to train the foot to be strong and controlled:
▪️ Short foot exercises for arch control
▪️ Heel raises with slow, controlled lowering
▪️ Balance drills on one leg
▪️ Teaching proper mechanics during running drills

When we give the foot and ankle strength, control, and awareness, we don’t just reduce pain — we set these young athletes up for years of healthier, more enjoyable running.

🎥 In the video, I show you several of my favorite toe dexterity exercises. These are great to build neuromuscular control to enhance strength & stabilization of the foot and entire lower limb.

Garrett McLaughlin is an Athletic Trainer, Movement Coach, and Certified Active Release Techniques (ART) Provider in West Bloomfield, Michigan. With years of experience working as a licensed healthcare and fitness professional, Garrett combines his many areas of expertise and delivers high quality functional training and rehabilitation programs to his clients.

When it comes to recovering from injury, improving fitness & performance, or restoring quality of life associated with movement, a holistic and individualized approach can truly shape your future. Garrett has created the Healthy Running and Functionally F.I.T. Programs to provide athletes and the general population all the resources needed to safely and effectively achieve their goals.
