Thank you to all who attended December 12th Running clinic!
Yet another successful day learning that how we run has a direct effect on how we perform and stay injury free!

Our Mission:
Injury prevention and performance enhancement through optimal running mechanics.
At Run Without Limits, we have not "invented" a new running technique. Rather, we have utilized our experiences and countless hours researching existing literature and anecdotal information in order to form, what we feel, offers the greatest level of running efficiency and injury prevention. While there has been much written about proper running kinematics, we have not come across one specific running methodology that produces the best results for athletes. We feel our methodology expands on much of the already existing information available but incorporates additional attributes to form the proper kinematics of running.

As health care professionals, we have become frustrated with the number of running related issues that we see on a daily basis, e.g. plantar fasciitis, IT Band Syndrome, achilles tendonitis, low-back pain, Knee "syndromes", Ankle/foot "syndromes" etc. As health-care providers, treatment centers around alleviating the signs and symptoms rather than focusing on the "cause". The question we began to ask ourselves; Is running a dangerous activity? Should these injuries be the unfortunate by-product of continued or extreme running? RWL thinks not! And, further more, research, that we can show you has proven that fact as well! Running need not be "bad for your knees." We have found that the majority of running related injuries are associated with sub-optimal kinematics. Utilizing our methodology, we have found that the number of running related injuries significantly decreased and there recurrence essentially eliminated. This is what we strive to achieve as professionals in the health-care field and what we hope to instill upon others through Run Without Limits.
