Episode 23: Running Injuries 101: Rehab and Resilience with Emma Vaillancourt
Whether you’re training for your next race, coming back from an injury, or just lacing up your running shoes for the first time — this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you stay strong, healthy, and consistent as a runner.
In this episode of Finding Fortitude, I sat down with physiotherapist and running coach, Emma Vaillancourt, to dive into all things running injuries and recovery. Emma shares her perspective as both a clinician and an athlete, breaking down common myths and helping runners understand how to train smarter and return to running safely after injury.
Together, we explore:
The most common running injuries and why they happen
“Niggles” vs. injuries (and when to take it seriously)
How to tell if you’re ready to return to running after injury
Key risk factors that increase your chance of getting hurt
And so much more!
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just getting started, this episode will help you better understand your body, trust the process, and run with confidence.
