Walk Pain-Free
The Walker's Daily Dozen addresses common walking injuries, such as knee pain, where pain is under the knee cap, usually due to weak gluteal muscles or limited ankle mobility, and shin splints - pain in the front of the lower leg, usually due to a leg length discrepancy (which can be fixed!) and/or tight calf muscles.
Run Pain-Free
Running helps fight aging by preventing muscle and bone loss and helps fight disease by reducing the risk of stroke and breast cancer. The Runner's Daily Dozen offers solutions to The Big 5 Running Injuries, including knee pain, shin splints, IT Band Friction Syndrome, Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.
The MIHP Difference
MYTH: "To strengthen a muscle you must isolate it and feel the burn."
FUNctional FACT: You need to teach the muscles how to work together as a team. Teach the stabilizers how to stabilize while the prime movers are moving.
