Standing on a forceplate, or walking down a corridor, as sadly happens in many clinical environments, have absolutley no bearing on running injuries. Running is a skill, if the skill can be analysed and improved, the client will be set up for a lifetime of injury-free running.Andrew has significant experience in dealing with Whiplash Associated Disorders, and the production of medico-legal reports.
