If your body were a 35-year-old machine, would you tune it up before hitting the trails this summer? We would too. Preparing your body for hiking, trail running, or backpacking is a lot like maintaining your vehicle—the better care you take on the front end, the better it performs, and the more enjoyable the ride.
That’s the goal behind NW Movement Co.’s Run READY and Trail READY evaluations, created to help trail runners, hikers, and backpackers prevent injury and move better all season long.
Performed by a licensed doctor of physical therapy, these customized evaluations identify movement patterns, mobility issues, and strength deficits that may affect your performance on the trail. Whether you’re recovering from knee pain or aiming to avoid injury while hiking or running, a READY Eval provides a personalized training and recovery plan to build strength, endurance, and trail confidence.
You wouldn’t ignore a weird sound in your car—so why ignore that ache in your knee?
