Stigmare Growth Architecture & Marketing, a Las Colinas-based brand strategy and digital growth consultancy, has signed InjuryProof Running, a Plano, Texas, running coaching and injury prevention practice, as a new client. The engagement, set to begin June 2026, includes a 30-day digital infrastructure build encompassing Google Business Profile optimization, citation correction across more than 50 directories, AI-powered lead response, and an automated client nurture system covering email and SMS channels.
InjuryProof Running, founded by certified running coach and personal trainer Philip Foster, provides in-person personal training, gait analysis, and online coaching to runners and athletes in the Plano area and nationwide. The practice operates out of Evo Gyms at 6505 West Park Blvd, Plano, Texas 75093, and holds a 5.0-star rating on Google with seven verified client reviews as of June 2026. Foster holds certifications as a UESCA Running Coach, ACE Personal Trainer, and Precision Nutrition Coach, with a background in kinesiology.
Injury prevention is a growing category within the fitness and endurance coaching market. Research indicates that between 37% and 56% of recreational runners experience at least one injury per year, generating consistent demand for specialized coaching that addresses movement mechanics and structural resilience rather than training volume alone. InjuryProof Running's foundational approach—developing stability through foot, ankle, and functional movement work before introducing additional training load—places the practice within an expanding segment of performance-focused services serving runners from 5K competitors to ultramarathon athletes.
"InjuryProof Running has exactly what serious local service businesses need to scale: a credible practitioner, a differentiated methodology, and real client outcomes," said Steven Paul Matsumoto, Founder and Chief Strategist of Stigmare Growth Architecture & Marketing. "Philip's background in kinesiology and his certifications give us a strong authority foundation to build on. Our job is to make sure the runners in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro who need this service can find it, trust it, and act on it."
Foster echoed the sentiment, stating, "I was drawn to Stigmare's proposal because it laid out clear expectations and a structured path forward. For a coaching practice built around long-term results, working with a team that thinks the same way about marketing made sense."
