Two times I thought I might never run again — what actually got me back on the trails
A short, practical guide for runners and walkers who want to heal faster, stop recurring injuries, and return to a life they love.
My story — quick
There were two moments when I believed I’d lost running for good. It felt devastating. Both times I found a way out — and surprisingly, the lifelong anxiety I carried also eased. That journey led me to Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT) and the nutrition & supplement strategies I use with clients today.
Who I am
I’m Ralph Havens, PT, IMTC, founder of Beyond Limits Physical Therapy in Fairhaven, Bellingham, WA. I’ve spent 40+ years helping runners, walkers, and active people find the real root cause of pain and get back to the life they want.
What I have for you
I interviewed Dr. Tom Giammatteo, one of IMT’s founders, to create a clear, concise framework for supplements and nutrition that support tissue repair, bone health, and recovery. Below are the exact supplements we discuss — and how to access them.
Why you need this
If you’re stuck in a cycle of recurring injuries, slow recovery, or “mystery” aches — underlying nutritional gaps and poor tissue repair are often the missing pieces. Getting these right speeds healing, reduces inflammation, and supports consistent training.
- Short recovery windows mean you can train more consistently.
- Better tissue repair reduces re-injury risk.
- Clear guidance avoids expensive trial-and-error.
