Bones, Tendons, Weights, & Whistles
The Ultimate 2-Day Masterclass for Clinicians Looking to Level-Up Their Knowledge & Skills in Managing Runners Dealing with Bone Stress Injuries & Lower Limb Tendinopathy
Date: March 29-30, 2025
Taught by: Chris Johnson, PT & Nathan Carlson PT, DPT
Location: Boston, MA
As you know, runners are great at making bad decisions.
Best case scenario, they get sidelined from training for a few weeks & plugin where they left off…no harm, no foul.
In other instances, they’re left with a tendon issue or bone stress injury. These conditions pose a serious challenge to clinicians, coaches, and runners.
It doesn’t help runners are also impatient & the last thing they want to hear is, “You need to stop running.”
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could help them carve out a clear and timely return to consistent & healthy running?
Let us help you take the guesswork out of the equation so you can stop winging it.
Join us for this MasterClass and learn how to take runners seeking your care from sidelines to finish lines.

Why we developed this course
Bone stress injuries (BSIs) & tendon disorders pose a SERIOUS challenge to runners, triathletes, clinicians, & coaches.
We developed this course to DEMYSTIFY the framework, considerations, & decision-making process that we apply daily in working with runners to position them for consistency and longevity of training.
Our aim is to help YOU become the GO-TO RESOURCE in your community when managing runners & triathletes.
We look forward to sharing our successes and, more importantly, our failures and mistakes over the years. This is what’s genuinely shaped our current perspective and approaches.

What previous attendees have to say
“This course was thorough, organized, interactive, and highly actionable. Chris and Nathan have great chemistry and an uncanny command of the subject matter. It also doesn’t hurt that they make everyone feel really comfortable and make it a point to answer any questions. I also really enjoyed that they included a lot of practical clinical applications that can be easily implemented in any clinic. I highly recommend this course if you’re looking to elevate and refine your communication and therapeutic alliance, gain a modern understanding of pain science, ensure competency in orthopedic examinations, and understand how the continuum model and performance demands impact progressive loading exercises.
This course is a no-brainer for any clinician wanting to up their game when it comes to managing runners or triathletes. Chris and Nathan are phenomenal presenters and have unmatched expertise. Hands down the most useful course I have attended in my professional career.
Chris and Nathan are the REAL DEAL. They have no shortage of evidence and application that makes complete sense in this Bones, Tendons, Weights, & Whistles course. The course encompasses the science and current research regarding stress fractures, including sites and management. They also take this approach with tendons as well before going into rehab application and research. If you manage endurance athletes of any kind, I highly suggest taking this course. I couldn’t recommend it enough.
