Make Injury Free Your New Year’s Resolution

January 11, 2017

2015-01-11-newyearsresolutions

Too often we see people desperately trying to “band-aid” serious injuries in order to line up for an event/race. From having a dodgy knee and entering a marathon in 2 months, to disc pathology leading up to an Ironman.
