Orthopedics/Armory Collaboration
Run Faster. Run Farther. Run Injury-Free.
Each year, thousands of runners are injured and need to take a break from the activity that has captured their hearts. Yet many of these injuries can be prevented by learning proper running technique and biomechanics. Moreover, most runners who do get injured don't have to give up running. With a complete recovery and training in optimal running performance, you can get back on track and start training for your next race or jog around the neighborhood.
