Many of us are using smart watches these days, and yet, we overlook the most valuable info our watch can give us. Today, we discuss how to use your watch's data to take your training to the next level. https://petalumaphysicaltherapy.com//heart-rate-zone-trai/

Many of BaseCamp's patients are runners who have set a goal for a specific race or distance. In order to achieve their goal, they search online or ask their runner friends for guidance in how they should train. This leads them to set up a running schedule. At BaseCamp, we provide training for runners, as well as assistance in setting up this running schedule.... https://petalumaphysicaltherapy.com//14/training-for-runn/

At BaseCamp Physical Therapy, we work with runners of all distances, speeds, shapes, and sizes. There is one thing that always comes up in conversations with these runners: running shoes. More specifically, our runners want to know what shoes we recommend that they use. The simple answer is that the perfect shoe depends on who is wearing it. And when you are trying to figure out what shoe is best for you, its best to look at your current or old running shoes.... https://petalumaphysicaltherapy.com//running-shoes-analys/

Just one of the many simple pleasures that come from living in rural Petaluma. Sonoma County, never change.

If you’re like me, you’ve spent a fair amount of time running on the trails around Sonoma and Marin County. And anyone who has spent time running trails knows that there are bound to be hills. Us runners tend to curse the uphills, and rejoice whenever the trail flattens, or takes a turn for the downhill. For those of you more experienced runners, you’re probably shaking your head and saying to yourself, the devil is in the downhill.

Have you been running more often lately? For most of us, quarantine has offered a chance to explore running a bit more. Its pretty easy to stay 6 feet apart, and the benefits are innumerable. Maybe you even caught the running bug? If so, you’ll probably want to keep running more. Naturally, the goal quickly becomes running further, or faster. ... As easy as it sounds, it can be hard to do. Runners get hurt pretty often, right? That’s the purpose of the BaseCamp Runner’s Newsletter. While this newsletter has been going on for several months, I’ve completely forgotten to offer it out to you! The best part? Its completely FREE! Each month, I share information that helps you navigate the running world. Want to learn which shoes are right for you? No problem. How about the most common mistakes that new runners make? I have that as well. My goal is to help you embrace running, and get the fitness and joy out of it that so many others have, WITHOUT having to worry about the possibilities of getting injured. So if you’re looking for simple tips that you can implement to help you run faster, further, or just plain enjoy running more, this newsletter is for you!

We all know that sinking feeling of watching your child limp off the field. Your mind starts racing, and you begin to think of how serious it might be. When can I get them to the doctor? Will they be able to compete in that upcoming tournament? Are they OK? The one thing that we don't think of, is why did this happen in the first place?

At BaseCamp, I’ve had the luxury of working with a number of youth athletes. I really appreciate my time with these kids, especially when their parents aren’t present. They often confide in me about things they don’t feel comfortable expressing to their parents. The things I hear in those sessions inspired today’s blog post. ... For all of you parents out there, I hope it provides some help in making sure your kid is in the right sport. #youthathletes #sportsmedicine #kids #healthykids #parenting

This is a difficult question to ask ourselves. As a parent, you're always looking out for your kid's best interests. Making sure they excel in school, have friends, and try to get the right amount of sleep each night can be challenging enough. Am I really telling you that you failed your child by the sport you chose to put them in? [ 352 more words ] https://petalumaphysicaltherapy.wordpress.com//is-my-chil/
