Running Evaluation in Vancouver WA

Our running specialists believe simple changes to a runner’s form can have dramatic improvements. People often run with the breaks on. Runners with improper form land ahead of themselves, rather than underneath their body, increasing friction and impact through their stride – ultimately slowing them down. With simple adjustments, runners can avoid injury, run more effectively and be successful at reaching individual goals. Our staff in Vancouver WA is knowledgeable, passionate and highly experienced!
