I haven’t been as active on social media lately, and honestly, it’s because my hands have been tied helping our injured runners get back to doing what they love!
But there’s something I’ve been wanting to address: a common disconnect I experience between myself and my patients.
A runner comes in and says, “I think I have runner’s knee.”
And naturally, they want to know how to get rid of the pain.
But what they often don’t realize is that the pain they’re experiencing may only be the tip of the iceberg.
Underneath the surface, there may be a history of past injuries, insufficient fueling, poor recovery, chronic stress, inconsistent strength training, running mechanics that haven’t been addressed, etc.
My job isn’t just to treat the area that hurts. It’s to help you understand the bigger picture, uncover the contributing factors, and make sense of why your body may be struggling in the first place.
Because sometimes, the solution isn’t simply found in treating the painful spot. It’s found in understanding everything that led you there.
Every injury has layers. My job is to uncover what’s hidden underneath.
This is what I believe quality care should look like. Not just getting you out of pain, but helping you become a more resilient, informed, and capable runner.🏃🏃♀️
This is why we say… IT’S MORE THAN THE MILES
