Stigmare Growth Architecture Signs Plano-Based Injury Prevention Coach InjuryProof Running for Marketing Engagement

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 founded by certified running coach and personal trainer Philip Foster. The engagement is set to begin in June 2026 and focuses on building a robust digital infrastructure to scale the practice.

InjuryProof Running provides in-person personal training, gait analysis, and online coaching to runners and athletes in the Plano area and nationwide. Operating out of Evo Gyms at 6505 West Park Blvd, Plano, Texas 75093, the practice holds a 5.0-star rating on Google with seven verified client reviews as of June 2026. Stigmare's initial work 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.

The partnership highlights a growing demand for injury prevention services in the running community. Research indicates that between 37% and 56% of recreational runners experience at least one injury per year, creating consistent need for specialized coaching addressing movement mechanics and structural resilience. InjuryProof Running's approach focuses on developing stability through foot, ankle, and functional movement work before increasing training load, positioning it within an expanding segment of performance-focused services for runners ranging from 5K competitors to ultramarathon athletes.

Steven Paul Matsumoto, Founder and Chief Strategist of Stigmare Growth Architecture & Marketing, emphasized the potential impact: 'InjuryProof Running has exactly what serious local service businesses need to scale: a credible practitioner, a differentiated methodology, and real client outcomes.' Matsumoto noted that Foster's background in kinesiology and certifications as a UESCA Running Coach, ACE Personal Trainer, and Precision Nutrition Coach provide a strong authority foundation. '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,' he said.

Philip Foster, Owner and Trainer at InjuryProof Running, expressed enthusiasm about the engagement: '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.' He looks forward to reaching more runners who need injury prevention support.

This collaboration underscores the importance of digital marketing for local service businesses aiming to grow. For the Texas running community, improved online presence means easier access to specialized coaching that can reduce injury rates and enhance performance.
