Barefoot running has been sweeping the globe in the last few years, and as a Physio, which of your patients are best suited to this type of running technique. How does running technique relate to a runner’s pain and dysfunction, and really, what is the ideal running technique?

In this podcast with Blaise Dubois – a Physiotherapist with a clinic, website and courses devoted to helping runners and Physiotherapists that treat runners, we chat about these topics, as well as:

Running assessment
Biomechanics of running
Improving running technique and performance
Which patients should change their running technique
Barefoot running
Heelstrike and landing
Current evidence on running technique
Injury prevention in runners
Downhill running technique
Footwear for running
Improving running in patients with pathology eg Achilles Tendinopathy
Blaise has also been kind enough to provide a PDF handout to go along with this podcast, which is available for free download.
