Stigmare Signs Plano Running Coach Philip Foster for Injury Prevention Marketing Engagement

Stigmare Growth Architecture & Marketing, a Las Colinas-based brand strategy and digital growth consultancy, announced it has signed InjuryProof Running, a Plano, Texas, running coaching and injury prevention practice founded by certified running coach and personal trainer Philip Foster, as a new client. The engagement is set to begin June 2026.

InjuryProof Running 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 carries a 5.0-star rating on Google with seven verified client reviews as of June 2026. Stigmare's work with the practice opens with a 30-day digital infrastructure build that includes Google Business Profile optimization, citation correction across more than 50 directories, AI-powered lead response, and an automated client nurture system covering both email and SMS channels.

Injury prevention represents 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.

Steven Paul Matsumoto, Founder and Chief Strategist of Stigmare Growth Architecture & Marketing, said, 'InjuryProof Running has exactly what serious local service businesses need to scale: a credible practitioner, a differentiated methodology, and real client outcomes. Philip's background in kinesiology and his certifications as a UESCA Running Coach, ACE Personal Trainer, and Precision Nutrition Coach 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.'

Philip Foster, Owner and Trainer at InjuryProof Running, said, '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. I'm looking forward to building on the foundation we've already established and reaching more runners who need this kind of support.'
