I’m always running injured. Help
November 14, 2010 at 9:21 pm
Hello Gene, I can help but first I need to know a bit about the type of injury.
Injury in running is caused by 2 basic errors:
1) Stopping movement or force meeting resistance.
This would be landing on a leg extended in front of the body for example. In this case the impact of your momentum and bodyweight onto an object (Your leg) which is positioned to “stop your movement”, can create a host of injuries.
2) Creating leverage
An example is pushing off with the toes. Here utilizing small muscles at the far end of the lever (your foot) is unnecessary and leads to injury.
What is your specific injury? I will help you with possible causes and solutions.
The best thing would be t attend a Pose Clinic or take a private POSE session. to correct your running technique.

I’m 62 years old and have been doing crossfit for 4 months. My biggest weakness is running. Knees and shins start hurting. Would this clinic be helpful for a newbie/oldster like me?
December 10, 2011 at 6:23 pm
Hi Bonnie,
Yes, the POSE Method of running will allow you to run without the pain in the knees and shins. Reducing the impact forces of running becomes increasingly important as we age and lose some of the protective resiliance of youth. At any age proper movement should not cause pain.
In the clinic you will learn the cause of your pain and how to eliminate it. It is appropriate for all levels of runners. I have worked with people who only run when caught in a hailstorm to the elite racer.
