Taking Care of Runners
Why Consult a Kinesiologist Before Starting to Run?
Running is probably the most popular activity when the idea of getting in shape, losing weight or working on our cardio comes to mind! It’s a great activity, but you have to be well prepared.
The injury rate for beginners, intermediate and advanced athletes is quite high. This is due, in part, to poorly planned runs, low muscle tolerance and too little rest between runs.
