WHAT ARE READERS SAYING?
I must admit that I was a bit skeptical when I heard about Brads book. Many books that claim a miracle cure to running injuries are usually up-selling products and services and provide little value for runners looking for a tangible solution. However, I was hooked on this book’s content as soon as I read the first few pages, due to Brads writing style and his obvious first hand understanding of what most runners experience during their running career.
“You CAN Run Pain Free”, provides readers with a thorough understand of why runners get injured, how they can identify and address contributing factors, discusses the hidden physcological and mental factors associated with running injuries and then dispels the myth that running pain and injury is inevitable for runners.
However the real value of this book is Brad Beers five step method that directly assists readers to implement a number of simple measures that will assist in avoiding pain and injury.
John Mouland, Australian Marathon Reviews
Brad’s passion for running and zeal to help others shine through every page of his new book. This work is underpinned by sound biomechanical and physiological principles, all written in his easy to follow, inimitable style. Thoroughly recommended.
Dr Ralph Vida, MBBS (HONS) (Ad.) FRACGP
As a GP for more than 30years, a long time runner and a self-referred client of Brad’s I can attest to his knowledge, enthusiasm, and positive approach to the injured runner. He understands the goal is to return to running-not change to walking or take up another sport! Brad’s methods helped me to achieve a successful return to running after injury.
Dr Dianne Nichol, MBBS (HONS) (QLD) FRACGP
I am thrilled that Brad has written a book that will truly enhance all athletes’ ability to stay healthy and injury free. I have such great respect for Bard and his practices and philosophies. He has helped some of my athletes get back to running quicker and more effectively than any other physio ever has. Not only this, but with Brad’s help, and the help of this book I plan on these athletes staying injury free throughout the year, and year after year!

Chris Hassell-Runner.
After 2 years of not being able to run at all due to Plica Syndrome in both knees, Brad had me up and running again within weeks, and totally without pain or injury. By following Brad’s exercise plan, I’m running regularly and doing all the training I previously enjoyed. I am still amazed at the speed of my recovery and feel truly grateful to have met Brad.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly I’m on the road to recovery or just generally tuned up every time I see Brad. I often say ‘he is a genius!’
Mat Rogers, Dual Australian Rugby Representative
I was on the brink of giving up on my running ambitions until Brad reassured me that he could restore my dream if I followed his recommendations he provided during treatment sessions. I have come so far…from being able to jog for only two minutes (due to an ITB band injury) to now competing in the 10km at University Games. Thanks Brad for getting me back on track!!!
Joshua-Kaleb Faulkner-runner and university student
As an ageing recreational runner and competitive squash player it’s all about injury management for me. Brad has helped me recover quickly from an annoying knee strain that I’ve been struggling with for some time. I’m glad I recently switched to the “Guru”. He understands runners and their injuries better than any other health professional I’ve been to in the past. Can’t wait to get a copy of his book, ‘You Can Run Pain Free-a Physio’s 5 Steps to Enjoying Pain and Injury-free Running’.
Martin Simpkins-runner
Brad’s 5 step method is a proven way of beating running injuries. This book really does unlock the ‘secrets’ to running pain and injury free!
Hayley Bateup, Professional Ironwoman and 3x Coolangatta Gold Champion
Whilst training for my first marathon, Brad not only treated and repaired an injury I got, he gave an exercise and running plan to ensure it didn’t recur and I was ‘strong’ enough to handle the heavy work load. I made it thanks to Brad! It will be refreshing to read an educated and informative book written by an Australian; a runner; and an expert in his field.
