The 3 forms of stress when you start running after injury - a podcast by Dr. Christopher Segler

There are the three forms of stress that can affect you and the injured tissue when you actually get back to running after you've been injured and you feel like you've recovered.

I was just recently doing a telemedicine visit with someone who had an injury and was getting better. She was told to start running, but she wasn't really given any specific instructions. 

She was told, "You can go and just kind of run a little bit and see how it feels." 

If you're a runner and you haven't been running for weeks because of an injury, you're probably going to feel so good when you start running that you're going to do too much. If you do too much, and then you start having pain, you're going to completely freak out because you're going to be worried that you've completely set back your injury.

Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about the three forms of stress when you start running after injury.
