Description
The Camino de Santiago is an amazing journey and a wonderful physical challenge. We talked to Daniel Quinn from ReBalance Physiotherapy in Dublin about how to get ready for the Camino and set yourself up for success. He gave us a number of awesome tips about things to look out for when you are walking, and how to keep yourself healthy while on the Camino.  He has helped us redesign our Camino Training Plan to get you ready for the Camino de Santiago. Being as prepared as you can be will set you up for a better Camino with a lower risk of injury. This easy plan will help anyone to get ready for the Camino in just 12 weeks. It includes both walking strength and stability training. Combining these means that you'll build up your fitness and stamina as well as looking after yourself. Adding stability exercises will help you to avoid injuries along the way. Strengthening your supporting muscles will help you to handle uneven surfaces and slopes more easily.    If you have any pains or twinges as you train for the Camino, remember to rest them as soon as possible and see a physiotherapist if they continue to cause you issues. If you are in Dublin, you can find ReBalance Physiotherapy in Dublin 2. Check out our blog post on this webinar! or You can watch the Youtube video of the interview!
