Improve Your Technique with the Pose Method®

RUNNING SEMINAR

Pose Method® of Running Educational Training Course

THE POSE METHOD: A STANDARDIZED APPROACH TO RUNNING & INJURY PREVENTION

This educational running seminar is designed to teach athletes and runners, as well as sports and health professionals, the biomechanically correct running technique, and how to use video analysis and running technique assessment tools to analyze running gait and identify errors in movement that produce inefficient technique and lead to overuse injuries.

In this immersive educational running seminar participants will learn how to increase speed and endurance, do video analysis, prevent running related injuries and remain injury free.

Everyone is welcome to participate! Whether it’s for your own benefit or to help others.

To tens of thousands of runners, including me, Nicholas Romanov walks (and runs) on water. Approaching running as a skill to be learned, his groundbreaking, much-copied Pose Method established a new paradigm, promoting a soft, natural landing that minimizes impact, maximizes speed, eliminates injuries, and saves running careers. No one thought about form until Romanov came along; now we know that it is crucial. I’ve interviewed dozens of runners who simply would not be running without it.

“There’s no doubt about it, the Pose Method made me a more efficient runner. And the beauty of the system is that no matter who you are, if you stick to the principles and apply them in each training session, you can’t help but improve.”

– Andrew Walters,
Elite Australian Marathoner and founder of Setai-Do Australia

The Pose Method of running has not only eliminated my injuries, it has been an integral part of continued improvement in my chosen sport. In fact at fifty-two years of age I’m still improving. A bonus of the Pose Method for me has been significant health and strength improvement.

Terry Roberts35 time Ironman finisher & Ironman Australia legend

I have been working with Florida Guardsmen. So far this year alone we introduced pose to 2x wellness camps (87 Soldiers failing their fitness test), 50 executive leaders (senior army leaders) at an Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) workshop, and 6 Soldiers during an Occupational Physical Assessment Test (OPAT) workshop. They love it!

“I attended the Pose Method Course with Dr. Romanov in Miami and it was a phenomenal experience. I honestly don’t know how any human being could have covered as much information and simplified in a way that made it all digestible. It is a simple concept but with many nuances that make it difficult to explain and they did a great job.

The whole thing was fantastic. I would recommend to anyone that wants to learn more about running from the weekend runner to the physical therapist.

Tim Bartleman Polk City, IA

The Pose Method of running has been a crucial component of my Physical Therapy practice. Not only does this method offer a clear standard for teaching and modifying running form, it also allows runners to run more efficiently. I instruct my patients in the Pose Method before allowing them to run again. 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.
