Congratulations Dr. Rice: 2024 Cincinnati Magazine Top Doctor
Have you ever started a new fitness journey only to find yourself bored or suffering new pain in a couple of weeks? At this point, you may be asking, "Is this routine really for me?"
When you're starting or recharging a running program, you may be tempted to focus only on leg strength. But there's another major group of muscles that's just as important to your overall strength, endurance and power—your core muscles.
Muscle and joint pain can reduce mobility and affect a person’s quality of life. Although the causes of muscle and joint pain may overlap, they can have different causes and treatment approaches.
Unfortunately, most runners will experience shin splints at some point, and though questions remain about what causes this lower leg pain and how to fix it, one thing's clear: At their worst, shin splints can be debilitating and excruciating.
Female athletes have a higher risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury than males. Combining exercises, such as strength, balance, and flexibility, in a preventive training program may help reduce this risk.
