There is a high-rate of overuse injuries in running and it can be difficult to treat in certain cases.

The course will also cover relevant management strategies such as load management, strength training, gait retraining which

are relevant in the multi-modal management of running injuries. Practical experience will be gained in the use and application of both radial, focus shockwave & EMTT in common running injuries
