Run with a Buddy!

Pluses of Having a Running Buddy Partner

• Running with a buddy has many benefits.
  • ACCOUNTABILITY: it’s easier to show up for your run when you’re accountable to meet up with someone else.
  • ENTERTAINMENT: your run can double as a hangout or catch-up session.
  • EFFORT: can lean into each other to keep pace.
  • MOTIVATION: a hard workout is always easier when someone else is in it with you.
  • SAFETY: being in a pair or group is always safer than a solo run

Running Buddy advice brought to you by React Physical Therapy. Visit us for more details.

Too often, people accept what their bodies give them. An old injury becomes a permanent limitation. Restrictions become barriers. Aging means diminished performance. And the world has just accepted that this is the way it goes. But we didn’t. We started React Physical Therapy with the intention of changing what people believe is possible with their bodies. And we continue with that intention every day, in everything we do.

All of our physical therapists are trained in the Reavy Method®, a whole body approach to physical therapy developed by React Physical Therapy founder David Reavy, which incorporates manual therapy, muscle activation, and functional exercises to help patients of all ages to return to and exceed their previous levels of activity.
