Injury Prevention With Better Running Mechanics with Dr. Caleb Beland

Welcome to season 2, episode 38 of The Fuel Run Recover podcast, where I'm excited to bring you this in-depth conversation all about staying healthy and injury free as a runner by improving running mechanics, with Chiropractor, coach, and runner Dr. Caleb Beland.

Caleb’s journey into chiropractic began during his high school years in Sudbury, where he developed a deep passion for the sport and fitness. His dedication continued at Laurentian University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. There, he competed at both provincial and national levels in running and conducted a thesis on the biomechanical differences between long-distance and middle-distance runners at various speeds.

Driven by a growing fascination with running mechanics, Caleb started coaching elementary and high school athletes. Today, he employs gait assessment as an essential tool in his practice, helping to identify factors that influence injuries, performance, and overall experience in sports and activities.

After graduating from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, Caleb began utilizing soft tissue therapy, spinal manipulation therapy, joint mobilizations, acupuncture, and other techniques to assist patients and athletes in recovering from injuries and returning to their favourite activities. He takes great joy in helping others find or rekindle their love for movement. He collaborates with individuals of all ages and abilities, ensuring their training and rehabilitation progress at an appropriate pace, whether they are recovering from an injury or gearing up for their first race.

Outside the clinic, Caleb trains for races ranging from 5k to half marathons. He is often seen running along the Lake Ontario waterfronts, joining others who share his enthusiasm for the sport.
