RUNNING REHABILITATION SPECIALIST

about

ABOUT

Clinical management of the running athlete has evolved tremendously over the years. This evolution comes from our improved understanding of the unique physical and mental demands placed on these athletes throughout their training and competition phases. The IAR Running Rehabilitation Specialist Certification course is the most comprehensive program for clinicians who train and rehabilitate the running athlete. This course will cover in depth all aspects of running that place these athletes at risk for pathology, including biomechanical movement impairments, training regimen, loading strategies, articular and soft tissue mobility deficiencies, nutrition, and performance training. The most current research  will be presented and discussed in a clinically applicable format to allow the clinician to immediately integrate the information into practice. The course will incorporate a strong lab component to equip the clinician with the tools and strategies to efficiently assess and effectively treat, through movement correction, manual therapy, and performance training, the wide variety of running related pathologies. Upon successful completion, participants will become a certified Running Rehabilitation Specialist  (RRS).
