The injury cycle can feel like a game of whack-a-mole, with one nagging pain going away only to be replaced by several different issues elsewhere. For the injured runner, the path to lasting health and getting back to the pain-free running begins with the right diagnosis. Yet while that may sound obvious the reality of getting there can often feel far from straightforward. 

On this week's episode we're joined by Doctor of Chiropractic Bryan Kent to explore why so many runners treat the same injury over and over without lasting success—and how shifting the focus to accurate diagnosis can break that cycle. 

Bryan unpacks some of the common myths around dealing with injury and pain, laying out a path for runners to take on a more active role in their long term resilience by working alongside their care providers to create lasting results. So whether you’ve been stuck in the not-so-merry go round of injuries or are looking to protect against set backs on the road ahead, then this is the episode for you.
