    71. Return to Run Programs: Not one size fits all
    Sep 25 2024
    Whether you've been injured, sick, pregnant, or just decided to take time away from running, you need a PLAN if and when you return to the sport. That is the message that Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy are shouting from the rooftops in this episode.

    They discuss the individualization of return to run programs and the nuances based on why an athlete had to take time away from running. There is no one size fits all approach, and the program will even look different based on the nature of the injury.

    Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy discuss not only the programming, but how to make sure that an athlete is ready to run, body weight support devices, and cross training. This is a great episode for both athletes and healthcare providers alike.
