Waldo Cheung, MPT MSc | Understanding & Managing Running-Related Pain

Inspired Soles

Waldo Cheung is a Calgary-based physiotherapist and instructor for The Running Clinic. Waldo has a unique passion for helping runners navigate their way back from injury to their chosen sport, but as a dedicated runner himself, he understands runners on a deep level. Not only is he an expert in managing soft tissue injuries, but he’s also an amateur programmer who’s developed innovative tools to help clinicians monitor their clients’ progress and keep them actively engaged in their recovery journey.

Waldo has a knack for taking research studies and communicating the findings to a layperson in easy-to-understand language. In this episode, he shares what the research says about running-related pain, including the neuroscience behind why we experience it and how to manage it, particularly during the taper.
If you’ve been running for any length of time then you’ve undoubtedly had the odd ache or pain pop up at an inopportune time. If that sounds like you, then this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
