THE CORE MUSCLES IN RUNNING
On the surface, it looks, as if different moves require different muscle involvement. And this observation is seemingly confirmed by images from different sports, with the emphasis on specific muscle groups, body shape, etc. At the same time, it is obvious that every movement involves a huge group of muscles around the central part of the body, which we call the core muscles. At the present time, the term "core exercises" is in the air and everybody talks about it as a fashion topic, including runners. But what are the "core exercises" and "core muscles"? In what way does strengthening...

HAMSTRING INJURIES
Hamstring injuries happen mostly in short running distances and sprints. Nevertheless it is a common injury for long distance runners as well. Anatomically the hamstring muscles are representing a group of muscles of the posterior thigh, consisting of the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. Hamstrings are major extensors of the hip and strong flexes of the knee. Biceps femoris is the most lateral of the three hamstring muscles. It has a two-headed muscle with the origin of its long head on the ischial tuberosity, and the origin of its short head on the linea aspera and distal part of the...

PLANTAR FASCIITIS. Prevention.
Prevention of the plantar fascia problem is not an easy task because of the anatomical location of the tissue. This tendon is right on the cross section of all forces acting upon the body and is involved into, practically, any movement of the body. It is difficult to isolate it from the movement in order to give it some rest or reduce its work in any way unless we are not doing it for the whole body. Nevertheless, it is possible to prevent the problems by sticking to some simple procedures: Learning and perfecting running technique on a constant basis...

PLANTAR FASCIITIS. Treatment.
Any treatment should consist of several necessary parts, involving different aspects of human organism functions, such as mechanical, physiological, psychological, mental and spiritual. Successful treatment usually includes all of them as a holistic approach, in which, according to ancient Chinese philosophy, we should treat not the injury, but provide for healing of the person as a whole. Modern medicine, unfortunately, compartmentalizes treatment and "rationalizes" it to just anatomo-physiological problem solution, in which a person, with his/her mind, concerns, fears, way of movement, almost doesn't exist. Then, everything reduces to just tissue treatment, leaving the rest behind, out of touch....

PLANTAR FASCIITIS - Description and Cause
Description and cause. Treatment. Prevention. This injury is considered a common complaint among runners. By some sources it affects only about 8% of runners, nevertheless it seems to be a very well-known injury for most of them, which is confirmed by Pose Tech Forum discussions. Thus, we return to the topic again. Modern medical community doesn't support our approach to solving this problem by changing one's running technique and neuro-muscular patterns. Instead they offer some conservative treatment with cortisone shots, pills, different kinds of physiotherapy: massage, exercise therapy, etc. Another option is surgery. Though they use the word "prevention" in...
