I joined the Avon Women Can Run Clinic in the spring of 2001. Once again, after about a month, I developed shin splints. I kept running and the problem progressed until even walking was uncomfortable. Stephe Worley was one of the guest speakers at the Women Can Run Clinic. I liked the Sports Therapy approach of finding and treating the root of the problem versus just treating the symptoms. I began regular therapy sessions with Stephe and he outlined a training program to complement the therapy. I am now running on a full-time basis and even compete in local 5K races. Running is something I look forward to every day thanks to Athletes in Pain formerly Gold Medalist Sports Therapy.
