It's crucial that we understand the complex systems at play when we run. Because this understanding is powerful. It can help us prevent injury and make huge strides towards our performance goals -- whether we're working up to a mile a day, or preparing for the Olympic trials.
At Psoas, we often work with athletes looking to optimize the function and movement of their lower bodies. We set out to design this workshop -- drawing on the expertise of our clinical team -- to help you do just that. We’ve found that these tools are relevant not only for runners, but for cyclists, soccer players, dancers, and movers of many other kinds – including passionate walkers!
So join us on Thursday, 1/10 to learn holistic strategies -- from PT, chiropractor, nutritionist, and Psoas therapists -- for keeping your lower body healthy, flexible, and as powerful as possible.
