Board certified orthopedic clinical specialist and certified strength and conditioning specialist specializing in the treatment of overuse injuries in the runner and cyclist.
A physician referral is not necessary for either screening but will be made if clinical treatment or orthoses are indicated.
The Runner's Screening is a complete musculoskeletal evaluation specifically designed for the runner/fitness walker. It includes professional assessment of:
- Flexibility
- Strength
- Lower quarter biomechanics
- Video gait analysis
Our staff looks for tightness, imbalances and abnormalities during the screening and then makes appropriate suggestions/modifications as needed.
The Cyclist's Screening includes assessment of:
- The cyclist's position on the bike and modifications as indicated to reduce joint stress and improve efficiency
- Stroke mechanics
- Injuries with additional recommendations to decrease symptoms
If you are a beginning runner or cyclist, or someone who has been running or cycling for years, schedule a Runner's or Cyclist's Screening to perfect your form and avoid injuries that may slow you down.
