Waldo Cheung is a physiotherapist originally from BC currently living in Calgary, AB. His current interests lie in the promotion of healthy running and rock climbing as well as the preservation of strength and function in the middle age and elderly. He has worked and taught in a variety of different rehabilitation settings from critical care to sports medicine. Waldo is an instructor for The Running Clinic, a company that offers research based instruction using science and expertise to inform a clinician’s practice working with runners. We both found these courses transformational several years ago and enjoyed catching up and discussing current trends in running injury prevention and performance.

  • Waldo’s background in running & physiotherapy
  • His philosophy as a physio working with runners
  • His passion for research and teaching
  • His thoughts on running shoes based on current research and real life
