What is a Zero Runner?
Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of physical disability in the world. The degeneration caused by this condition impairs your ability to perform everyday activities like getting up and down from chairs, in and out of bed, walking, running and climbing stairs.
Utilizing a zero runner will allow to perform walking, jogging and replicate the natural running motion without the harmful joint pain affected by arthritis. When using the zero runner, you will feel a sense of lower extremity stability, support and pain relief. The unloading from the zero runner helps alleviate your pain and improve your function, quality of life and potentially delay the need for surgery in your lower extremity joints or the spine.
How physical therapy can help with spine or joint pain
At Forza Physiotherapy and Wellness in San Antonio, TX, we will start with a thorough history and a physical assessment to identify all the factors contributing to your pain and functional limitations. Understanding your pain and, more importantly, how to manage it can help you take the steps necessary to find relief.
We use evidence-based exercises, joint unloading such as the zero runner, and any other technique to give you relief. The initial aims of physical therapy are to alleviate pain and modify everyday activities to provide you with the confidence and freedom to resume the things you have been avoiding.
