Running Injury Treatments From Chartered Physiotherapists.
What Causes Running Injuries?
It’s estimated that 60-70% of running injuries are caused by training error, such as increasing the distance or intensity of your training faster than your body can adapt – usually a little bit of “too much, too soon”.
But many other factors can play a part, such as any previous injuries, your running experience, reduced flexibility, or strength in different areas of your body and even your lifestyle (did you know that a lack of sleep can affect your recovery?).

Why Choose Physiotherapy?
Your physio will ask you some questions to find out more about you and your running. They will use these details to tailor their physical examination, which will mainly assess how you’re moving, your strength in different muscles and your range of movement at various joints. They will use all of this information to diagnose what’s going on and then together you’ll come up with a plan to get you back on track.
Physio can help all levels of runners, from the elite to those just starting out. We’re able to help you with:
Repetitive Injuries (such as Achilles or knee pain)
Ongoing Lower Limb Pain
Return To Running Post-Surgery or After Pregnancy
Return To Sport Post Injury
Marathon Programme Planning
Improving Form
And even if you’re about to take up running for the first time, whatever you want to achieve, we can give you advice on how best to prevent injury.
What we will do to help
Look to keep you running wherever possible, even if in the short-term that means modifying the amount or intensity of your running.
How to manage pain in the early stages to help calm the injury down. And how to build you back up again, gradually challenging your body as you return to the level you want to be at.
Give you advice on how much discomfort or pain is acceptable so you’re not setting yourself back.
How do we do this
Hands on treatments, such as massage or dry needling.
Personalised exercises programme to increase strength and flexibility
Develop a training plan to get you back to where you were before injury
Tips on how to prevent further injuries going forward
Recommendations on your footwear and also whether insoles (orthotics) or support braces may help get you back faster
Give you advice on other lifestyle factors to help maximise your recovery
