    If you've ever wondered why pain keeps coming back, why certain injuries never fully heal, or why some runners recover quickly while others struggle for months — this webinar will be eye-opening.

    Dr. Heather, movement specialist and sports performance coach, walks you through her signature evaluation process that helps runners identify the root cause of pain and finally break the injury cycle.

    You’ll learn:

    • How movement patterns and muscle imbalances influence running mechanics
    • Why most treatment plans fail to address the real problem
    • What happens inside a full consultation, from history timeline → movement screening → gait analysis
    • How Dr. Heather uses functional movement testing to uncover the hidden issues contributing to pain
    • What personalized outcomes and insights runners walk away with
    • How this unique, whole-body approach helps runners heal faster, run stronger, and prevent future injuries

    Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recurring injuries, or want to optimize performance, this webinar gives you a clear picture of what your deep-dive consultation will include and why it works.

  • Understanding Muscle Fatigue in Runners
    Apr 29 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    If you’ve ever felt your form fall apart mid-run, your legs turn to concrete, or minor aches become major injuries, this webinar is for you.

    Dr. Heather breaks down the science behind muscle fatigue and reveals why it is one of the most overlooked contributors to running injuries. You’ll learn how fatigue starts in the brain, how it changes your running mechanics, and how subtle breakdowns in movement patterns can quickly escalate into IT band pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles issues, low back pain, and more.

    You’ll discover:

    ✔ The physiology of muscle fatigue (ATP, motor neurons, metabolic stress)
    ✔ Why fatigue alters your gait and increases injury risk
    ✔ The role of nutrition, electrolytes, and hydration in sustained performance
    ✔ Strength, durability, and gait strategies that reduce fatigue
    ✔ How to build a fatigue-resistant body that can handle long miles
    ✔ What most runners get wrong with fueling, pacing, and recovery

    This podcast gives you the science, the why, and the practical takeaways so you can run stronger, longer, and injury-free.


    Perfect for runners of all levels, from new runners building a base to marathoners and ultra runners increasing volume.

  • How Form Drills Prevent Running Injuries
    Apr 26 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dr. Heather breaks down the real science behind why runners get injured and more importantly what you can actually do about it.

    Here's what was covered:

    🔬 Why runners really get injured — It's not just about mileage. Poor mechanics, muscle imbalances, and inefficient movement patterns are the hidden drivers behind the most common running injuries.

    🦵 The biomechanics of running — From foot strike to hip stabilization, Dr. Heather walked through exactly how your body moves when you run and where things break down.

    🏃 5 key form drills explained — A-skips, butt kicks, high knees, bounding, and strides — with a clear explanation of what each one does neurologically and biomechanically.

    🧠 The neuroscience behind it all — Why drills aren't just warm-ups, but actual brain training that rewires your movement patterns over time.

    📅 A simple implementation plan — How to fit these drills into your weekly routine in just a few minutes, 2-3 times per week.

    Whether you're dealing with a nagging injury or just want to run more efficiently, this presentation gives you a clear, science-backed framework to move better and stay healthy.
