Dr. Ryan Smith is a lead instructor for the Institute of Clinical Excellence in the Fitness Athlete division. He specializes in treating individuals who participate in CrossFit, Olympic Lifting, powerlifting, and other recreational sports like running.

He also specializes in pelvic health therapy, utilizing an external approach that focuses on education and management of diastisis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, and post-partum issues.

Ryan is an avid supporter of the Senior Rehab Project and promoting individuals to strength train throughout their lifetime.

You might recognize his name - he contributed to an earlier article on bodyweight strength training for runners.

And I'm excited to introduce a longer discussion with Ryan on many related topics:

• The common movement dysfunctions among runners (and how to address them)
• Should you worry about a "clicky" hip or knee?
• What are "movement vital signs?"
• How to use pain science to improve your running

Enjoy my conversation with Dr. Ryan Smith!
