What to Give the Runner in Your Life: The Running Analysis

What to Give the Runner in Your Life: The Running Analysis

Running is about more than just the gear, so be sure to give your favorite New York City Marathoner more than just a new pair of shoes and fancy running pants this year. 

Treat them to a Noraxon Running Analysis from one of our highly qualified physical therapists and they'll be talking about this holiday season for the rest of the year.

You're a road warrior. 

One of the New York elite. 

The loops of Central Park are your playground and you know the city streets of Manhattan's Upper West Side like the back of your hand.

It's that time of the year again folks.  That's right. 

Time for our complimentary runner's clinic!

We're still running high from last week's National Running Day.

Running Form Re-visited: Two Timeless Tips for Running Away from Injury

As physical therapists our job is to make sure we're on top of the most compelling research in body mechanics, efficiency, form, and healing. It's our job to make sure you're logging miles on the Central Park loop or crossing the New York City Marathon finish line. Whether you just want to run without your usual aches and pains, are looking to get back to sport after injury or surgery, or want to crush your previous record times-- we have the training program and the latest research for your goals. 

Running May Actually be Beneficial for Knee Arthritis

Running May Actually be Beneficial for Knee Arthritis

Knee cartilage degeneration from years of pounding the pavement makes intuitive sense--there are few activities that require you to absorb the shock of 2.5-5 times your body weight repetitively like running does. For people who do get diagnosed with knee arthritis, it can be a helpful coping mechanism to come up with a reason why they developed the disease.

Speed Drills

Speed Drills

New York City is alive with the sights and sounds (and heat....) of Spring and it's proving why this is the best time of the year to take running drills to the next level. The days are longer and warmer and they're leaving just about everyone with more energy and joie de vivre. After a long winter inside, there's not much that's better than stretching your legs for a long run through Manhattan's Upper West Side or along the river in Westchester. 

Motivation For Your Monday

Motivation For Your Monday

Did you know.....

People who work out on Mondays are happier throughout their week?

This is actually true and there is a slew of scientific research to back it up. Surveys show the average person doesn't crack a smile until 11:30 AM on a Monday morning....unless you've had your morning workout! Those endorphins go a long way to making your Monday morning happier, faster, and carrying the good vibes throughout your entire week. 

Marathon Recovery, At Your Service

Marathon Recovery, At Your Service

Congratulations!!!

You trained hard, you ran your best, and you finished the NYC half marathon like a champ!

Now it's time to rest and recover like a champ, too. Most people have a rigid training schedule they adhere to, but not everyone knows they need to pay attention to how they recover just as much as they need to prepare and train for race day. Your recovery plan will set the tone for your next marathon and will help color how you remember this one.
