Dr. Heather breaks down the real science behind why runners get injured and more importantly what you can actually do about it.

Here's what was covered:

🔬 Why runners really get injured — It's not just about mileage. Poor mechanics, muscle imbalances, and inefficient movement patterns are the hidden drivers behind the most common running injuries.

🦵 The biomechanics of running — From foot strike to hip stabilization, Dr. Heather walked through exactly how your body moves when you run and where things break down.

🏃 5 key form drills explained — A-skips, butt kicks, high knees, bounding, and strides — with a clear explanation of what each one does neurologically and biomechanically.

🧠 The neuroscience behind it all — Why drills aren't just warm-ups, but actual brain training that rewires your movement patterns over time.

📅 A simple implementation plan — How to fit these drills into your weekly routine in just a few minutes, 2-3 times per week.

Whether you're dealing with a nagging injury or just want to run more efficiently, this presentation gives you a clear, science-backed framework to move better and stay healthy.
