Josh Cornett, PT, DPT, COMT, CDNTI'll be the first to admit that I don't take upper body workouts as serious as I should. I am a runner and I play some soccer so my legs get a lot of loading and I spend a fair amount of time working lower body and core. My upper body on the other hand is quite lacking.

Josh Cornett, PT, DPT, COMT, CDNTTuesday marks 6 weeks from the time I injured my foot, and I thought I'd provide an update! I am glad to say I am back to running and no longer experiencing any pain! Here are the things I did and some things I probably should have done better.
Josh Cornett, PT, DPT, COMT, CDNTTime to practice what I preach! Last Tuesday during a track workout I (Josh) pulled up in the last interval with some foot pain. So I decided to call it a day and see what was going on, maybe it's just a cramp. Well, over the next couple days I proceeded to limp around and the walls came closing in. I have a whole set of races coming up in the next few months and the worry and doubt about whether or not this is going to be a short term or long term problem are flowing in my head.
Dylan Glass, PT, DPT, SMTCAs summer winds down, training ramps back up. Routines reset. Kids are back in school. The weather is cooler—and for many, that means more time outside, more runs, more strength work. If you've been putting off that nagging pain, the tightness, or the discomfort, this is exactly the moment to address it. Waiting rarely helps.
