18- Running Assessment with Chris Wolfe

💭“Current evidence shows that 65% of running-related injuries are due to poor programming and poor training, so that means that 45% of the injuries are only related to actually a true weakness or true tightness.” - Chris Wolfe 👉🏻 Our guest is Chris Wolfe PT, Cert MDT, OCS.   Chris graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Freed-Hardeman University in 2004 and went on to complete his Masters in Physical Therapy at the Medical College of Georgia in December of 2006.
