You’re out running on your favorite trail, and so far, everything about your run is perfect. But then, you feel an unusual burn in your heel. Or a discomforting pull of your hamstrings just behind your knee. You might even misstep and roll an ankle. Running, like any other sport, has its fair share of injuries associated with it:

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Patellar Tendinopathy
• Hamstring Tear/Tendinopathy
• Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS)
• Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints)
• Ankle Sprain
• Achilles’ Tendinopathy
• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
• Hip Flexor Tendinitis
• Tibial Stress Fracture
