The Pose Method: A Standardized Approach to Running & Injury Prevention

The Running Clinic is perfect for coaches, athletes and health and fitness professionals, and the registration is open to absolutely everyone! Simply pick your clinic date and its duration: 1-Day or 2-Day.

The information presented during the clinic is designed to teach anyone how to run faster, avoid common injuries and even how to teach others! Participants will learn how to do video analysis and running technique assessment to analyze running gait.

Participants will also be introduced to a scientific concept at the foundation of better movement and will be taught how to use corrective technique drills and running specific strength exercises to improve their running technique, increase speed and develop endurance.

“Since adopting this practice I have seen patients who were unable to run for years, not only start running again, but do so pain free. Other patients have shaved one to two minutes, on average, off of their two-mile Army Physical Fitness Test run times. Since learning the Pose Method, I have personally dropped my half marathon time by 10 minutes.”
