Stigmare Growth Architecture & Marketing, a Las Colinas-based brand strategy and digital growth consultancy, has announced a new client engagement with InjuryProof Running, a Plano, Texas, running coaching and injury prevention practice. The engagement, set to begin in June 2026, focuses on building a digital infrastructure to help the practice reach more runners in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
InjuryProof Running, founded by certified running coach and personal trainer Philip Foster, offers in-person personal training, gait analysis, and online coaching. The practice operates from Evo Gyms at 6505 West Park Blvd, Plano, Texas, and has earned a 5.0-star rating on Google with seven verified client reviews as of June 2026. Stigmare's work begins 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.
Steven Paul Matsumoto, Founder and Chief Strategist of Stigmare, highlighted the importance of the partnership. "InjuryProof Running has exactly what serious local service businesses need to scale: a credible practitioner, a differentiated methodology, and real client outcomes," said Matsumoto. "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."
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. 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.
Philip Foster expressed confidence in the partnership. "I was drawn to Stigmare's proposal because it laid out clear expectations and a structured path forward," said Foster. "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."
