As runners across Pleasanton lace up for the annual Run for Education, now’s the perfect time to get your body in top condition, ready to perform, recover, and thrive. Whether you’re running the 5K, 10K, or going all in on the half marathon, a visit to Alexander Chiropractic and Wellness in Pleasanton could be the boost your body needs to cross the finish line feeling strong and injury-free.
A Chiropractor Who Understands an Athlete’s Mindset
Dr. Simon Kuang leads our Pleasanton team with a unique perspective—he’s not just a chiropractor, but a former Olympic-level weightlifter. That background shapes his approach to sports chiropractic care.
“I’ve lived the life of an athlete,” says Dr. Kuang. “I know firsthand how vital it is to have a fully functioning, balanced body —and how frustrating it is when pain or dysfunction slows you down.”
Targeting Tightness and Overuse with ART
One of the key techniques we offer is Active Release Technique (ART)—a hands-on soft tissue therapy designed to target tension, release adhesions, and restore mobility in overworked muscles. This is especially effective for runners dealing with tight hip flexors, hamstring issues, or persistent plantar fasciitis.
Better Posture, Better Running
Equally important is postural alignment. Efficient running starts with proper posture, and chiropractic adjustments help support that foundation. By improving spinal balance and joint mobility, your stride becomes smoother, your joints face less stress, and your endurance improves.
Dr. Kuang and our team also provide tailored home-care routines that include stretches and strengthening exercises to help keep your body in peak shape between visits.
Support Beyond the Adjustments
Just minutes from the I-580/I-680 interchange, our Pleasanton clinic provides a peaceful and wellness-focused environment where runners feel supported and cared for. Whether you’re chasing a new PR or just hoping to finish your first race strong, we’ll build a care plan that matches your goals and physiology.
Investing in your spine and muscle health before race day is one of the smartest things you can do to prepare for the event. Let us help you show up ready to perform your best and recover with confidence.
