Dealing With Winter Sports Injuries

We are so excited to talk to Dr. Heather Moore today. Dr. Moore says athletes wait too long to visit their physician for a sports-related injury. Moore says to give an injury two weeks to work itself out. If it's not better, see a physical therapist.  Advil and hot packs only hide the pain, not heal the injury.Listen to the full interview for more insights from Dr. Moore. And, check out her book "Run Better, Not Less" if you're a runner, or thinking of becoming one.
