Are you running properly?

Poor running technique can lead to unnecessary injury risks if they are not picked up early.

How to run properly

Many recreational runners are placing undue strain on their bodies, as well as compromising their speed, by using the wrong technique.

Conditioning coach Mike Antoniades has developed a unique methodology for teaching the correct and most efficient running technique to athletes and recreational users of all levels.

The application of Biomechanical, Gait and Movement Analysis and video documentation helps him to identify any weaknesses and the underlying causes for abnormalities in running, walking, sprinting and motor control.

They don't use the necessary body parts efficiently so when they are supposed to be enjoying themselves they are instead suffering pain. Read more from the original source »
