Most marathon injuries happen because tissues aren’t prepared to handle tens of thousands of repetitive steps. Your body needs durability and access to mobility, not just endurance.

Key areas every marathon runner should train:

• Calves & Achilles – absorb 6–8× bodyweight with every stride
• Glutes – control hip stability and prevent knee collapse
• Hamstrings – assist propulsion and reduce overload on calves
• Single-leg stability – running is essentially a series of single-leg hops

If these systems fatigue early, mechanics break down. That’s when common issues show up: runner’s knee, Achilles pain, plantar fascia irritation, and hip tightness.

Your deep cervical flexors are to your neck what your deep core is to your spine.

In upper crossed syndrome, weak deep neck flexors + tight upper traps = forward head posture.
In lower crossed syndrome, weak deep abs + tight hip flexors = anterior pelvic tilt.

Surface muscles compensate.
Pain follows.

Train the deep stabilizers.
Not just the show muscles.

Posture isn’t a stretch problem.
It’s a motor control problem.

Running is a single-leg sport.

If your hip can’t control load and your ankle can’t absorb force, your knee pays the price.

This 1:17 half marathoner came to Hyena Rehab with patellar tendinitis. We didn’t just treat the knee.

We strengthened the hip.
We improved ankle stability.
We rebuilt tendon capacity.

Now she’s back training — chasing 1:12.

Our partnership with LSKD aligns with what we believe at Hyena Rehab: performance is earned through resilience. It’s built in the small sessions. The boring reps. The consistent effort.

Our patients don’t just heal.
They level up.

Seeing them with minimized pain, confident, and back to doing what they love — that’s why we do this.

Hyena Drip 2026

The Harajuku tees are officially sold out. That chapter has closed. We still have a small remaining run of Conquer tees in small and a few corduroy hats left in stock.

Every drop is produced in limited batches by design. No restocks. No reruns. Once a design is gone, it’s gone.

Each release captures a moment in one’s rehab journey, a season. The first drop of 2026 pending early March.

Clay has a long injury history—surgeries, accidents, and years of surfing. His left knee and back kept flaring up despite seeing multiple PTs. At Hyena Rehab, the focus was on how those past injuries were changing his movement and stress distribution. Once those patterns were addressed, his symptoms settled and he could return to surfing. Given the chronicity of symptoms, we still have some work to do but can still appreciate how far he’s come.

A static postural assessment looks at how your body stacks when you’re still — head, shoulders, spine, hips, knees, and feet.

This helps us identify:
• Asymmetries
• Joint positioning
• Habitual load patterns
• Where stress may be building before pain shows up

But posture doesn’t stop there.
How you move matters just as much. Pain and injuries don’t happen in stillness, they happen in motion.

Static gives us the blueprint.
Dynamic shows us how your body actually performs.

Back pain isn’t just about stiffness. Sometimes, it’s too much motion. ROM screens allow us to observe both limited motion and excessive motion patterns, which can influence how stress is distributed through the spine.

Specificity is king. Stretching may not be your solution. Test, don’t guess!

Rearfoot anatomy is the foundation of how your body handles force with every step. The rearfoot is made up primarily of the talus and calcaneus, which work together to absorb impact, stabilize the foot, and allow it to adapt to the ground beneath you.

Through the subtalar joint, the rearfoot controls pronation and supination — movements that directly influence how your tibia, knee, and hip rotate during walking and running. When rearfoot mechanics are off, stress often shows up elsewhere: plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain, shin splints, knee discomfort, and even hip issues can trace back here.

Understanding rearfoot anatomy isn’t just about memorizing bones — it’s about recognizing how small deviations at the heel can affect the entire kinetic chain.
Control the foundation, and everything above it moves better.

Sciatica isn’t just “back pain.” It’s a nerve issue that usually causes sharp, burning, or electric pain that travels from your low back or glute down the leg, sometimes all the way to the foot. You may also feel numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg.

Common myths that keep people stuck:

“I just need rest.”
Too much rest often makes sciatica worse. Nerves heal best with smart, progressive movement, not bed rest.

“If it hurts, I should stop everything.”
Avoiding all movement leads to stiffness and fear. The goal isn’t zero pain, it’s better tolerance and better mechanics.

“Surgery is inevitable.”
Over 90 percent of sciatica cases improve without surgery when treated with the right combination of rehab, education, and load management.

The truth:
Sciatica is common, treatable, and rarely permanent. With the right guidance, most people can get back to moving, training, and living without fear of their pain.

If one side of the pelvis drops or shifts, the spine side-bends to compensate. That changes rib position, shoulder height, and how nerves are tensioned as they travel from the neck into the arm.

When frontal-plane stability is poor, nerves lose slack on one side and symptoms show up where you feel it most—tingling, pulling, or numbness in the arm or hand.

This is why stretching the arm alone doesn’t fix it.

At Hyena Rehab, we look at how well your pelvis controls side-to-side motion—because nerve health depends on the entire system.

Forward head posture increases the load on your neck by up to 4–5x.
That extra load narrows the space where nerves exit the spine.

Potential outcomes?
• Hand numbness
• Tingling
• Neck fatigue
• Shoulder tightness

It isn’t just a sagittal-plane issue.

It also creates:
• Frontal plane side-bending asymmetries
• Transverse plane rotational stiffness

Those restrictions change how the cervical spine loads and narrows nerve space—which is why desk workers feel hand numbness, tingling, and weakness.

Posture is 3-dimensional.
Rehab should be too.
