Description
There’s a lot of bad information out there when it comes to injury treatment and prevention. That’s why it’s so important to make sure you get information from a reliable source like today’s guest, doctor of chiropractic Chantelle Maryuen. Chantelle works at the Runner’s Academy clinic in Toronto, offering a variety of services helping runners with “striving to make striving for your goals a joyful experience rather than a painful one”.  Part of the challenge in following research-based principles is that they are so specific to the individual. This means that good treatment for one person could be totally counter-productive for someone else. We want to make this episode as relevant as possible to you, so we’ll cover what treatment options are proven to work for the vast majority of runners but also where to find good information to make treatment decisions for yourself.  Treatment doesn’t just apply to injuries though. How you treat niggles or soreness can be just as important to keeping you healthy. Whatever your current health, we promise you’ll learn something new. During the interview we’ll cover topic including: What is the difference between a chiropractor and physiotherapist, and how can each play a role in supporting good health How often and when to consider seeing a clinical professional  What should runners focus on to avoid getting injured  What popular treatment options are actually proven by research to provide benefit How to seek out good advice with treating an injury or pain How to differentiate normal training fatigue from something that might need medical attention A big part of achieving your running goals is staying healthy so that you can get your training done. Unfortunately, taking the wrong approach to treating injuries could be making the situation even worse. That’s why you should listen up, to make sure you know what treatment options are proven to help keep you running pain-free.  Guest Bio: Dr. Chantelle Maryuen is a graduate of Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College.
