Guest article: Evidence-Based Vs Individual-Based Clinician–By Jay Dicharry

1. Introduction We hear time and time again:  Are you an evidence-based clinician?You know what? Your patients don’t care.There’s a patient in front of you in your treatment room right now. She is incredibly frustrated – and possibly even a bit scared – of what she’s dealing with, how this impacts her individual identity and […]

Flight Ratio: A Key Metric for Analyzing Running Technique

Flight Ratio: A Key Metric for Analyzing Running Technique Running technique is a fundamental aspect of the sport, and each runner exhibits a unique style when they hit the track or road. One crucial biomechanical parameter that can help differentiate various running techniques is the Flight Ratio. In this blog post, we’ll explore what Flight […]

Maximize transfer of dynamic stability training for running – Part 3

In part 2 we provided isolated and static exercises to improve the strength capacity of the stabilizing muscles, but these should not be the endpoint of your training program. While they can make your body stronger, they don’t make you run more efficiently. The next step should be training intramuscular and intermuscular coordination in faster […]

Maximize transfer of dynamic stability training for running – Part 2

In the first part, we explained the most important determining factors that influence dynamic stability in running. But how can we now improve it? In part 2, we’ll provide you with a training framework that can enhance transfer between exercises and dynamic stability during running. While traditional core exercises are essential components of your training […]

Maximize transfer of dynamic stability training for running – Part 1

Over the past two decades, there has been a growing interest in core training to improve pelvic stability. However, it’s not a straightforward process to get the optimal transfer needed in running technique with the traditional core exercises we know. While these exercises certainly play a fundamental role in your training program, it’s important to […]
