Runners have become a consistent patient population in the conservative management setting. There is no shortage of injuries among distance runners, providing the opportunity for the rehabilitation professional with a new referral base and a new skill set to develop. The aim of this course is to empower the clinician to better understand the runner in front of them and provide effective evidence informed care.
Going the Distance is a continuing education course for practitioners (PT’s, PTA’s, and sPT’s) in outpatient physical therapy clinics who are encountering runners in their practice. This course will cover the basics of managing the running patient from the start of the subjective to the finishing discharge criteria, founded on current best practice clinical guidelines as well as experienced clinical perspective. Please see course schedule below for details.
This course has been approved by the Maryland State Board of Physical Therapy Examiners for 1.2 CEUs/12 hours.
This course will be held May 4th and 5th at The Sinai Rehab Center

Discharging with Confidence: Prepping your Runner for Success
Building Relationships and Coordinating Care
The population of female runners has grown exponentially since the enactment of Title IX in 1972. Women begin participating in running at a younger age than ever, continue to run through their childbearing years, and continue running into older age. The demands on a woman’s body is inherently different from that of her male counterparts.
Rehabilitation providers need to understand the changing metabolic needs, physiological changes, and varying running patterns that encompass the female runner’s career. It is essential that medical providers be able to provide comprehensive care to the female runner throughout her lifespan. This course is appropriate for PTs, PTAs, and ATCs to help them provide better care for the female runner at any stage in her life.
This course has been approved for .9 CEUs/9 hours.
