Running rehab: Running retraining, exercise and performance
This course is delivered by Dr Christian Barton, who has a highly respected international research profile, with more than 40 peer reviewed publications. He teaches courses in Australia, the UK and Scandinavia. Clinically, Christian specialises in the management of persistent and challenging knee and running related injuries, working with a range of elite athletes and in conjunction with many of Melbourne's leading orthopaedic specialists. This vital clinical insight ensure you will take away immediately clinically applicable skills.
In this course, Christian will give you the skills and knowledge to diagnose and manage biomechanical deficits in injured runners. The course explores ideal lower limb biomechanics, provides an overview of how common biomechanical faults link to injury, and how to identify and address them in the clinic. The evidence behind and practical application of running retraining, exercise, footwear and other adjunctive interventions are explored in relation to both injury and performance.

- Understand the benefits, safety, how and when to change running biomechanics, including consideration to proximal and swing phase mechanics
- Be able to consider the influence of footwear and potential of barefoot or minimalist running to treat or cause injury
- Be able to confidently prescribe adequately loaded exercise programs at home or in the gym to help your runners with injury and performance
- Be able to have an evidence-based conversation with runners about the implications of running technique and exercise on performance
- Help runners at your clinic run pain free and improve their performance
- Be able to apply course principles and clinical reasoning your develop to non-running clinical presentations
