Experiencing low back pain while running? 🏃‍♀️

Biomechanics and strength are critical factors in treating low back pain. However, running cadence (step rate) also plays a significant role.

A recent study found that individuals with lower back pain tend to run with a lower cadence than those without pain.

Increasing your running cadence might reduce pain and decrease the load on your spine. 👍 So step it up. And if that’s not enough, step into our clinic- We’re here to help!
