Running-Related Injuries: A Structured Approach for Chiropractors

This one-day, evidence-informed CPD workshop is tailored for chiropractors looking to strengthen their clinical approach to managing running-related injuries (RRI). Whether you're working with recreational runners or high-performance athletes, this course provides a structured framework to confidently assess, treat, and rehabilitate the most common running injuries seen in practice.

The workshop explores the biomechanics and underlying mechanisms of RRI, integrating the latest research with practical clinical applications. With a strong emphasis on hands-on learning, you’ll engage in practical assessments, interactive case discussions, and targeted rehabilitation tasks designed for immediate implementation.

By the end of the day, you will be equipped with practical strategies to identify key injury contributors, dispel common misconceptions, and support a safe, structured return to running for your patients.

By the end of the workshop, you will leave with:
- A structured, evidence-based approach to assessing running-related injuries (RRI)
- The ability to identify key biomechanical factors contributing to injury
- Practical rehabilitation strategies that are ready for immediate application in the clinic
- A clear understanding of the challenges and dispelling common myths surrounding running injuries.
