5 Things Every Runner Needs

December 5, 2020robbieExerciseNo comments

2020 has brought so much change and one of the things many of us had to adjust was where and how we get our exercise. We at Sports Chiropractic Institute wanted to give a list of our favorite things for those of you who have recently picked up running.

Proper Running Shoes: Every runner needs a proper pair of running shoes that best fits their running style and body. At West Stride Running (https://shop.weststride.com/) right here in Smyrna they take the time to fit you to a shoe that best works for you. Having the proper running shoes can help to prevent future injuries.
Amp-arm-pod Phone Arm Band: Another essential that our awesome local running gear store (https://shop.weststride.com/) has are high quality arm bands to hold your phone while you’re on your runs. Nothing beats being able to be hands free while you run!
Injinji Running Socks: These toe socks are well made and extremely comfortable! They allow for your toes to feel free and movable at all times. (https://www.injinji.com/catalogsearch/result?q=running)
Nox Running Gear: If you’re as crazy as Dr. Linkhorn and enjoy waking up before dawn for your morning run then Nox running gear (https://www.noxgear.com/) is a must. They carry the best light up vests for you and even your furry running buddy to illuminate your darkest runs.
Head lamp: If you’re choosing to run before sunrise another essential is a light weight head lamp. If you wanted to shop local: Going Gear (https://goinggear.com/) located on Concord Rd in Smyrna they have helpful staff that will make sure you are fit with a head lamp that is bright and comfortable for your future runs. Dr. Linkhorn’s favorite is Petzl NAO+ Headlamp. She loves this because it is extremely bright, comfy, and rechargeable.

We hope you found our list helpful and you continue to strive towards your goals. Happy running!

Last year, a friend referred me to Dr. Linkhorn's office in Smyrna. I have now visited their office for two different mobility issues and cannot say enough about how their method of treatment has changed how I see chiropractic/mobility care. I have experience with two other practices that have "maintenance plans" and did not find ongoing relief in the years that I was on the plans. Dr. Linkhorn is not about that life. If you do the homework, there will not be the need for constant visits. Her team provided me with exercises to strengthen weak areas. I always left empowered to do the work to ensure that I am stronger on the other side of the injury. Her whole team is amazing. If you have a mobility issue or pain and want to finally kick it to the curb, visit them! You will not regret it. :)

Dr. Linkhorn and staff are wonderful! Not only do they use a variety of techniques and tools they suggested books to help me understand the root causes. Never insisted on a plan or multiple trips like other places. Highly recommend!

I am so happy I tried Sports Chiropractic Institute. This is the first time I have gone to a chiropractor, I was always a bit nervous. They listened to me, I had soreness in my lower back, after 4 visits with Dr. Linkhorn and doing the exercises she showed me, my back is so much better!! I continue to do the exercises to keep it that way.I just took my first kettleball class, set to my current ability level. Focused on form and learning the right movements. Will go back for more classes.

I have been seeing Dr Linkhorn for the last year. What started my search was for prevention of injury as I was starting the journey to a 70.3 IronMan. I really liked that this team really listened to me and what I needed. I have been lucky and when I come in for treatment, it usually takes less than 5 visits along with at home exercises for improvement or complete elimination of pain. I also use the massage services and just started some kettlebell classes. This place has it all!!

Dr. Linkhorn and her team of specialists are amazing. They work so hard to help their patients get well. Unlike a lot of doctors the goal here is to minimize the number of follow up visits and get you healthy as quickly as possible. That should be true everywhere, but you will certainly feel it here.
