What we see consistently at Norton PT is that the runners who recover best aren't the ones who rest the longest.



They're the ones who give their bodies LOVE:

Load optimally. Dialing down the running is helpful. But stopping all activity? Wrong anidote. Tissues need the right amount of load to recover and rebuild.

Optimism. When you believe your body can adapt and improve, it changes how you train, move, and recover

Vascularization. Healing tissues need blood flow. Techniques like dry needling, manual therapy, and smart activity help flush waste and deliver the nutrients your body needs to rebuild.

Exercise. specific exercises guide your tissues the optimal direction towards adaptions you want so you come back stronger for your next big race.

Big congrats to Charlie on punching his ticket to Nationals!

He came to us in the spring for posterior tib tendon issues and again this XC season for foot pain. He's attention to detail and his desire to seek help earlier ensured he would not miss valueable training time. Also he was one of the kindest people we've had the pleasure of working with!

Couldnā€™t be happier for you. Go get it at Nationals!

Back pain sucks

Standing is a common culprit

Here are 3 common aggravators
1. Sway Standing causing compression through the joints
2. Excessive pelvic tilt lead to over use of spinal extensors
3. Limited core or diaphragm use to relax the back

Thenā€¦ the sexy stuff =strength, endurance, power

Letā€™s Go!!

You stretch. You foam roll. You still get hurt. šŸ¤”

Hereā€™s the deal. Stretching feels good, but it doesnā€™t actually prevent running injuries.
ā€ØMost runners donā€™t get hurt because theyā€™re tight. They get hurt because their body isnā€™t ready for the load.

šŸ‘‰ The fix? Build strength, progress gradually, and listen when your body says ā€œenough.ā€

Stretching = feels nice
ā€ØStrength = stays healthy šŸ’Ŗ

Give us a follow to run tpainfree!

Good luck to everyone running the Peopleā€™s Marathon this weekend!

Iā€™ve run the twice and itā€™s still one of my all-time favorites.

The start? Unreal.

Haines Point hits hard (in more ways than one).

The Mall is electric.

The Bridge feels endless.

But youā€™ll remember it for the rest of your lives.

Enjoy every step!
