Since the course is self-paced, I’ve already effectively used some of the strategies with my runners before even finishing the course!

“From reviewing the case studies which bring together the whole systematic approach, I’ve been able to determine a better prescription for the runners I’m working with who are recovering from running injuries. Already, I am seeing more runners referred by current patients.
