Rehabbing the Runner

Treating runners is a fun yet often complex biomechanical task. This course will teach you how to efficiently assess and treat your runner patients in an integrative and comprehensive way. We’ll update you on the biomechanics of running and how conceptual models of running have changed over the years. You’ll also learn a comprehensive gait assessment and how to incorporate functional movement assessments into your treatment plan. Treatment techniques include MFR, MET and mobilizations of the lower quarter as well as exercise progressions for runners at any level. At the completion of this course, you’ll be able to treat most any running injury diagnosis with confidence, and apply what you learn to create customized training programs to fit your patients’ goals!

 

As with all our manual therapy courses, this course is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give you skills you can use immediately upon returning to the clinic.

Course Instructors

Marcus Lewis

PT, DPT, CIMT

Marcus received his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Michigan-Flint in 2018 and has since been working in the greater Ann Arbor area with Probility Physical Therapy. He is currently the clinic director at an outpatient orthopedic Probility clinic in Livonia. He became a Certified Integrative Manual Therapist (CIMT) in 2021 and began teaching with Great Lakes Seminars later that year. Marcus specializes in a holistic treatment approach with focus on several types of manual therapy, including myofascial release, muscle energy techniques, and joint mobilization with and without movement. His treatment philosophy involves finding and fixing dysfunction, re-training the body, strengthening, and optimization. Marcus has a passion for working with athletes focused on both weightlifting and running. When he’s outside of the clinic, he can often be found in northern Michigan enjoying life on the water or on the trails with his wife and dog.
