Saturday Injury Drop-In Screenings

Do you occasionally suffer from aches and pains when you run? Have you been repeatedly sidelined by chronic injuries? Do you sometimes wonder whether you can “train through” something bothering you or whether you need medical attention/a break? The Saturday Injury Drop-In Program is your opportunity to spend time with a medical professional AT NO COST and discuss your problems and questions (or how to avoid problems in the future if you’ve been injury free!) 

You can now stop in to scheduled =PR= locations on Saturdays between 12-2 PM and meet with a medical professional relevant to runners and walkers (Podiatrist, Physical Therapist, Orthopedist, Sports Medicine Professional, Athletic Trainer, Sports Massage Practioner, etc.).
 
Below you will find a list of the available practices and a bio of the medical professional attending the next scheduled injury screening.
 
We hope this program will help you stay on the road/track/treadmill injury free!

Rockville Fitness: Daniel Brafman, Holistic Practitioner and Performance Coach

After more than a dozen years as a competitive triathlete and 9 of them as a coach, Daniel has experienced the difficulties of balancing family, career and training to race. The truth is most triathletes are fit but not necessarily healthy. We have injuries, compromised immune systems, and endocrine imbalances due to over stressed adrenal glands, and following nutrition practices that aren’t right for us. Daniel is determined to show that doesn’t need to be so.

As a Holistic Practitioner and Performance Coach, he considers all aspects of fitness and wellness when guiding his athletes to their goals. Daniel meets them exactly where they are. He finds out how they learn best and remains responsive to whatever challenges arise. With detailed assessments he works to minimize injuries and sets the body to perform with optimal efficiency. Nutritional challenges are met by beginning with metabolic typing and continue to refine by paying attention to results. Daniel's mission is to enthusiastically inform clients with what they need in order to achieve sustainable excellence, based on what they are ready willing and able to do.
