Learn how running mechanics and spinal health work together to keep runners strong, efficient, and pain-free.
Low back pain is one of the most common issues runners experience, often stemming from a combination of spinal stress and inefficient running mechanics. In this educational workshop, Physical Therapist and Running Technique Specialist, Denise Smith from Smith Physical Therapy+ and Dr. Thomas Dace from Precise Chiropractic, will team up to provide runners with a comprehensive understanding of how disc health and running technique are connected.
Denise will focus on running mechanics, sharing technique adjustments that reduce spinal stress and improve running efficiency, while Dr. Dace will provide the spinal health perspective, discussing approaches such as spinal decompression and other methods to support disc health and relieve pain. Together, they will break down how and why movement patterns cause problems and offer practical strategies to help runners stay healthy.
