POSE METHOD OF RUNNING: A STANDARDIZED DEFINITION OF RUNNING FOR INJURY PREVENTION AND PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT

Course overview

This online continuing education course presents a structured, biomechanics-based framework for analyzing and teaching running technique within the standardized Pose Method model. Participants learn to apply systematic video gait analysis to identify movement deviations, evaluate joint loading patterns, and assess mechanical contributors to common running-related injuries, including knee pain, shin splints, and iliotibial band syndrome. The relationship between movement organization, eccentric loading patterns, and running efficiency is examined within a defined mechanical model. The course includes instruction in corrective technique drills, running-specific strength exercises, and structured instructional progressions for individual and group instruction settings. Participants develop the ability to analyze running mechanics and apply technique-based corrections using a standardized assessment approach.
