Motion Stability

Specialty Services: The Runners Clinic

Not one runner has the same strengths, weakness, flexibilities, and body types. However, all runners think that they can accomplish the same distances in the same time and pace with the same training program as their counterpart. At Motion Stability the therapists are able to use their knowledge in orthopedics to evaluate each runner individually to help them overcome their unique injuries.

Runners are often sidelined by overuse injuries due to inefficient running mechanics. The goal of physical therapy is to correct muscular stability and soft-tissue imbalances as well as other contributing factors that predisposed the runner to getting injured in the first place. Whether you are a novice or an elite runner, inefficient running mechanics are usually at the core of the problem. Understanding correct running mechanics and then applying that knowledge to the runner’s strengths and weaknesses allows the therapists to create a unique rehabilitation program tailored specifically to patient. Runners are chronically plagued by aches and pains that they often ignore and usually lead to more serious, career-ending injuries.

Motion Stability therapists have presented to various running groups around the Atlanta area. We feel passionately about enabling an athlete/runner to be able to participate in their chosen sport in as pain-free manner as possible. Motion Stability feels that if the runner is educated early on in his or her running endeavors, then they are able to improve that runner’s success out on the road.
