Dr. Cicchetti never liked running until post-college when free time was few and far and she needed her stress release.
She thought it was easy…at first.
Then injuries occurred.
We have all heard “too much, too soon, too fast.” “Muscle imbalances.” “Tight hamstrings.” Well those reared their ugly heads and quintessential runner’s lifestyle began.
Since the start of her running-habit, Dr. Susana has completed four marathons, about a dozen 1/2 marathons, and an unknown number of 10ks & 5ks.
From ITB syndrome, runner's knee, plantar fascitiis - Dr. C knows these injuries, has worked through them, and continues to try to improve her knowledge of this “easy sport” not just to be a better clinician but also to be a better runner.

Without question you surf, you will get injured.
So many factors go into surfing from us, the athlete, to the not-always-predictable ways of the wave. This sport changes constantly and Dr. Cicchetti believes that is why most of us love it.
Whether it is tightness, weakness, lack of endurance or an actual collision- the risks are real and we will face them.
Dr. Susana Cicchetti is extremely familiar with the aches and pains as she has a meniscus tear, torn quad, RSI neck strain and even sustained a broken rib with bruised lung. But Dr. C returned to the water quickly because she dedicates(d) herself to rehab, training, and injury prevention.
