How To Prevent And Alleviate Common Running Injuries

Running – It’s an exercise almost everyone thinks they can do, but very few actually do well.

It is also a repetitive exercise that can put lots of strain on our body and lead to injury, especially if we are already tight and suffering from imbalances and poor movement patterns because we sit at a desk hunched over a computer all day.

However, this doesn’t mean that you should just stop running, especially sprinting, if you love it.

It does mean though that you need to make sure to have a proper rehab/prehab program in place to include before and after your runs or even on days when you hit the gym.

By including certain foam rolling, stretching, activation and strength training moves in your workout routine, you can keep your body injury free and prevent and alleviate those annoying running injuries!

Follow our 4 Step Injury Prevention Program below to learn how to prevent and alleviate common running injuries.
