Achilles or P.F.?
Do you have heel pain? Your pain could be related to Achilles tendonitis or plantar fasciitis. These injuries are common in running sports like soccer, basketball and track, with symptoms presenting in similar ways. Check out these tips to help decipher between the two. If you or someone you know is experiencing two or more of these symptoms, contact NovaCare Rehabilitation to schedule a complimentary consultation with one of their specially trained physical therapists.
Activate Those Glutes
Prevent injury and wake up those glutes! Why? The longer the distance you run, the more likely muscles fatigue and injuries can happen. By strengthening your
glutes, you strengthen the foundation to support your leg with every step. Try these glute activation exercises from NovaCare Rehabilitation before your next run. Want more glute activation exercises? Go to novacare.com to schedule an appointment today with one of their skilled physical therapists.

Knee or I.T. Band?
In the world of running injuries, iliotibial (IT) band syndrome might be one of the most prevalent injuries-- especially for marathon runners. The IT band is a fascial strip that starts at your hip and runs along the side of your leg until it attaches
near the outside of your knee. It can cause pain throughout your knee and hip. NovaCare Rehabilitation recommends using a foam roller to stretch/massage your
legs, especially for your IT band. If your pain continues or you want more tips like this, contact NovaCare for a complimentary consultation with one of their physical therapists.
