Refining the Running Rehab Journey is a unique course that leverages our combined 50+ years of experience with runners across the injury-to-performance spectrum. We aim to share our insights on creating a curated and customized experience for avid runners, regardless of age and ability.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from working with runners, it’s that the details matter!
That’s why we’ve developed a rehab approach that draws on our combined 50 years of experience and goes beyond the typical, one-size-fits-all model for runners.

What previous attendees have to say
Phenomenal course. Chris and Jay work very well together. Chris has a very calm demeanor, whereas Jay is full of energy, making it the best course I’ve taken. The information was also very cohesive, and the speakers’ expertise and clinical pearls make it a standalone course in running medicine. These guys are also selfless in their pursuit of sharing everything they’ve come to learn and appreciate when it comes to helping runners across the age and ability spectrum.
his class taught me several aspects of running injury assessment, running analysis , clinical presentation and rehab that I could apply the next day in the clinic. The mix of both Chris and Jays instruction gives you the best of up to date biomechanics and evidence based treatment. I loved Chris’s emphasis on history taking and motivational interviewing as well as Jay dispelling common biomechanical myths with the latest research. They both take you through the rehab journey from initial injury to return to running with lots of pearls along the way. It’s a great mix of the biomechanics lab and the clinic. Easily one of the best classes I’ve ever taken.
