The Hidden Toll of Running: Insights from Khi Tam Therapy

When Mark Zuckerberg decided to pause running for better mental clarity, it highlighted a vital truth: our physical and emotional health are deeply interconnected.

The Hidden Toll of Running

Anatomy and Posture

Khi Tam Therapy recognises the body as an integrated structure of posture, alignment and energy. Running without correct form often leads to overdeveloped quadriceps and calves, while essential stabilisers like the glutes and core weaken. This imbalance pulls joints—especially knees and spine—out of alignment, causing chronic strain and pain. Fatigued runners commonly lean forward, placing extra tension on the neck and back. Our holistic approach helps restore structural harmony, relieving pressure at the root rather than symptom-level only.

Energy Flow

Chronic tension from misalignment not only causes physical symptoms—it also disrupts the flow of Khi, the body’s natural life-force energy. In Khi Tam Therapy, we believe that energy blockages manifest as pain, emotional slow-down or mental fog. Pushing through this tension only amplifies the breaking of balance.

How We Help

Master Sridevi’s method combines mindful movement, breathwork, postural correction and hands-on techniques. These tools gently re-engage stabilising muscles, release tension and restore energy flow—supporting the body to heal itself naturally

Whether you're seeking mental focus like Mark Zuckerberg or relief from persistent knee and back discomfort, the key lies in listening to your body. Mindful alignment and balanced energy—rather than forceful repetition—lead to lasting health.
