Blog post produced and written by Clinic Manager and Sports Injury Specialist Jason Dodd.  This post is a recent instagram post we shared which looks at how your technique can increase your chances of running related injuries.

Did you know that 50% of all runners will suffer some form of injury each calendar year. Are there certain things that you can control for though to help reduce these chances? It seems that there are and your gait pattern is the first starting point.
