Injury Clinics

Those of you that have been a part of the Runner's Den family for a while, will remember that Dr. Richard Buchbinder used to come by the store every Thursday night (for 25 years!) and give free foot/injury evaluations... Well, as you know, the good Doctor retired a few years ago, and we have been without a resident podiatrist ever since.

Not any more!!! Runner's Den is very proud to announce that Dr. David Jenkins, a professor at the Midwestern University Arizona School of Podiatric Medicine, will now be giving FREE foot evaluations here at our store! If you have any questions about the way your feet work, or if you've been struggling with an injury that you just can't shake, this is your chance to get some answers!

We are going to be doing this on the 2nd Wednesday of every month from 5-7pm. If possible, try to arrive a little early so that Dr. Jenkins has more than enough time to evaluate you. If you are planning to attend, please call the store to verify times and dates.

Pretty cool, right?!? But wait! It gets better! Runner's Den has also partnered with Matt Kraemer of Endurance Rehab! Matt is a born and raised Phoenician. He earned his Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology from Arizona State University in 1999. After earning his Strength and Conditioning Certification and Athletic Training Certification in 2001, he completed his Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree from A.T. Still University in 2004. Matt has experience in treating all types of orthopedic injuries, however he has extensive training in the evaluation and treatment of endurance athletes, including foot and ankle/ running specific injuries. Matt is also the director of the Arcadia Endurance location, and takes great pride in ensuring that all patients receive the best care possible. Matt is also a contributing writer in Triathlete magazine and LAVA magazine.

Matt is here at the store on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month between 5:30pm and 7pm. Again, if possible, please try to arrive a little early so that Matt has plenty of time to work with you.

We are very excited about being able to offer you this service again, and are looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday nights!
