Not every “flaw” in running form needs to be fixed.
physio breaks down the 3 mechanics he’s most likely to address:
1️⃣ Overstriding
2️⃣ Medial collapse (pelvic drop + hip adduction)
3️⃣ Excessive vertical bounce

And where tech fits in?
Slow-mo video + real-world data from tools like .ai asi gives us more than just what it looks like on a treadmill.
It helps us understand how someone actually runs outside.

There’s endless research on bone stress injuries…
but what runners and clinicians actually need is a roadmap.

➡️ What questions matter in the eval
➡️ How to build trust when sensitive topics come up
➡️ What tests + patterns point you in the right direction
➡️ How to dose strength + cross-training
➡️ How to decide when someone is truly ready to run again

Information is everywhere.
Clarity is the real skill.

One of my favorite moments from my conversation with was when he said this:

“We should all have something we enjoy that isn’t training. Because if the only thing you love is the thing you can’t do when you’re injured… rehab gets a lot harder.”

It hit me — not as a clinician, but as an athlete.

Injuries take away movement.
They shouldn’t take away your identity.

Rehab doesn’t start with bands and end with barbells.
It’s all strength work, scaled to what the tissue + athlete can handle today.
physio framework:
1️⃣ If symptoms are hot and irritable → calm it down
2️⃣ If it’s tolerating load → build it up
3️⃣ Either way → load is coming, just at the right entry point

Rehab and S&C aren’t separate phases.
They’re the same road just different mile markers.

You can have the best explanation in the world — but if the person doesn’t feel seen, it won’t land.

Telling someone “nothing is structurally wrong” without first saying
“I can tell this has really affected your life” isn’t education, it’s dismissal dressed as optimism.
physio reminds us:
▶️ Don’t minimize the experience
▶️ Validate the struggle
▶️ Then offer the hopeful explanation

Slow down. Validate. Then explain.

What we choose to highlight in an assessment becomes the story the runner tells themselves.

If all they hear is:
“You’re weak here… this is off… that’s wrong”…
they leave thinking they’re the problem.
physio and I talk about flipping that script:
✅ Spot strengths first
✅ Reframe deficits as the pathway to progress
✅ Leave people more confident than when they arrived

The Deeper Injury Conversation

60–70% of running injuries get blamed on training error…
but what if the real issue is why you train the way you do?

Athletic identity. Obsessive passion. Rigid persistence.
The internal drivers that keep runners pushing even when it hurts.

Tom and I unpack:
✅ why some runners struggle to pull back
✅ why “rest more” rarely works
✅ how identity + mindset fuel recurring injuries
