As a runner and coach in both high school and college, I understand the frustration of having an injury. Many athletes lack knowledge in anatomy, biomechanics, and injury management. My experience as a physical therapist, a fellow of applied functional science, and a strength and conditioning specialist, allows me to help other runners be more educated about their body. This blog is designed to educate runners on basic anatomy, various injuries, and exercises with the focus in 3 dimensions.

30 day 3D Exercise Challenge
While I'm working on my next post, I'm going to do a 30 day 3D exercise challenge on my Instagram starting 3/13/15 (3drunner, also link located on the right).
What is 3D? Our body moves in 3 main planes of motion - sagittal, frontal and transverse ( forward/back, R/L and twist). And our muscles, joints, bones are 3 dimensional! Unfortunately a majority of us assess, treat and train primarily in the sagittal plane while the frontal and transverse planes are under utilized. In running (and walking), we move in the sagittal plane, but the other planes work to support forward movement. I think weakness of frontal and transverse planes leads to early fatigue and even injury. Performing exercises with the 3 dimensions in mind strengthens more muscle fibers!
