We discuss the challenges of managing injuries and pain during such a long-distance run, including the decision-making process for injury management, the use of modalities like dry needling and massage, and the role of footwear and orthotics. We also touch on the implications of this type of load on the body and the lessons that clinicians can take away from this experience.Upgrade your clinical skills and become a patreon:https://patreon.com/SportsMedicineProject?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkSign up for a free weekly Research review about topics related to Sports Medicine straight to your email: https://gmail.us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=c3dca95db0740390c605a128e&id=b41f1293caRead through our already written blogs:https://achievepodiatry.com.au
