Integrating Japanese Eastern medicine with Western medicine.

Last weekend, I hosted a running injury seminar at FuncPhysio, and I am grateful to have such an engaged group of runners! With about 10 participants in attendance, the energy in the room was fantastic.

What I Covered: I talked about injury prevention from long distance running, specifically focusing on:

  • Common Running Injuries: Identifying the “why” behind issues like runner’s knee and plantar fasciitis.
  • Training & Prevention: Practical strategies to build mileage safely without hitting the “injury wall.”
  • Recovery/treatment demonstration: I demonstrated how we use advanced tools like Laser Therapy to accelerate tissue healing and get runners back on the pavement faster.
  • Periodization for proper marathon preparation
Treatment demonstration

Exercise for injury prevention

The participants asked incredibly thoughtful questions, ranging from small training tips to specific strengthening exercises. The feedback has been wonderful, and I have some ideas of topics in seminars in the future.

Thank you to everyone who joined the workshop! If you missed this lecture, stay tuned for our next event. At FuncPhysio, we are committed to keeping you moving pain-free.
