🏃 Free Running Pain Workshop in Hixson — Saturday, June 13 at LIFT Gym

As running season picks up across the Sequatchie Valley and surrounding communities, local physical therapists are seeing an uptick in runners battling preventable injuries. This free workshop offers Soddy Daisy and Hixson runners a chance to address pain patterns before they sideline training for the summer.

Chase Helgren, a physical therapist with Bounceback PT, will host Run Pain Free: Chattanooga Running Pain Workshop on Saturday, June 13 at 10:00 AM at LIFT Gym in Hixson. 🎯 The session is free and capped at 20 runners, ensuring personalized coaching rather than a lecture-style format. If you’re running at least once a week and pain is starting to dictate your mileage, this one-hour workshop is designed for you.

During the 60-minute session, Helgren will cover why most running pain isn’t simply a “bad knee” or “bad back,” walk through one cadence change that can immediately reduce joint stress, teach a quick self-screen to identify common mobility and strength gaps, share drills to add to your warmup, and discuss how shoe choice should match your body and stride. 💪 Attendees will also have time for live Q&A to address their specific concerns.

Beyond the workshop itself, participants gain access to an optional 2-minute mini screening with Helgren after the session ends. 🔍 Even better: all attendees are automatically entered into the Run Strong Scholarship, which includes a full physical therapy evaluation, two follow-up sessions, and a custom injury-prevention plan—a package valued at significantly more than the free workshop admission.

Spots fill quickly due to the 20-runner cap. 📍 To register and confirm your spot, visit the full event details on Facebook. Whether you’re dealing with a knee that warms up but hurts later, hip or low back tightness after runs, or angry ankles and feet the next day, this workshop offers practical tools to keep you running strong through the season. ✨
