Finally Fix Your Lower Back Pain: Dr Lauren LaPierre

According to the Centers for Disease Control, 25% of Americans have experienced back pain in the last three months. Up to 80% of all adults have felt it at some point in their lifetime. There are lots of reasons for this and most of them stem from leading a sedentary lifestyle.

But you're a runner. You're not sedentary. So why are you getting a pain in the back when you run?

We invited physical therapist Dr Lauren LaPierre, The Personalized Running Doc, on the Run to the Top to take a deep dive into back pain in runners. We go over:

• The most common reasons runners get back pain,
• what we can do about it, and
• how we can make sure that we get back to running safely

Lower back pain before, during and after a run is sadly a fairly common issue and if you've ever felt it or if you want to avoid ever feeling it in the future, this is the episode for you.

Unlike most chemical sunscreens, Tanri uses Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which protect from both types of UV rays. Plus, they use all-natural Ingredients that are better for you and the environment. And, the most important part for runners – it goes on smooth and won't burn your eyes during a heavy, sweaty workout because of the natural ingredients.

Don't be that runner that acts too late when it comes to taking care of your skin. If you've tried regular sunscreen in the past, but hated the slimy feel or how it got in your eyes, you'll love how Tanri has fixed all those issues for runners.
