Biomechanical Experience

It is important to remember that during the course of a mile, your foot will strike the ground on average 1,000 times with a force of two to three times your body weight. This alone can be felt, to some degree, through your entire bone structure, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Add to the mix the repetitive nature of running, which causes the same muscles to contract over and over again, while others are underused, is it any wonder that runners face susceptibility to injury?

Optimal Movement coaches are all trained in injury prevention, rehabilitation and training load management. This makes our service unique and ensures that you remain injury-free throughout your training plan.
