INJURIES & HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM.
Happy Tuesday, MIT!
As the runs get longer and the demand on our bodies increases, it is the time of the season where injuries can rear their ugly heads. During this cycle-back week where we are encouraged to prioritize rest and recovery, we would like to discuss how to deal with injuries when they arise. Everyone knows the importance of taking care of the PHYSICAL aspects of dealing with an injury, but how about the mental aspects?
This week, Fit for Life Physical Therapist Chelsea Hall teams up with Dr. Heather Bechtel to discuss both the physical and mental/emotional components of dealing with injuries.
Read on for some EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS for upcoming runs and events!!
I'll see you all tomorrow!
Cheers,
Coach Hannah
