RUNNING INJURIES

Don't let a niggle stop you in your tracks.

When you run, you're placing repetitive stress on your muscles, tendons and lower body joints.

Sometimes this can lead to injuries such as:

Runner's knee
Shin splints
Achilles tendinopathy
Plantar fasciitis
Muscle strains

All of these can make training uncomfortable or even impossible, and can start affecting walking and everyday life too.

Common questions

Yes – this is one of the most common conditions we see in runners and active individuals. We’ll assess the underlying cause of your symptoms, which may include muscle weakness, training load, movement patterns, mobility restrictions or biomechanical factors. Our treatment would typically involve a combination of sports massage, rehabilitation exercises, hands-on therapy where appropriate and guidance on helping you to safely go back to running whilst reducing the risk of a recurring injury.

It depends on the nature and severity of the injury. In some cases, continuing to run might delay your recovery or make your symptoms worse, however in other cases it might be possible to modify your training and remain active during your treatment.When we’ve carried out our initial assessment, we can advise whether you should continue running, reduce your mileage or intensity, or temporarily stop running to focus on your recovery and rehabilitation.

We do. Sports massage can be a useful part of marathon preparation and recovery, helping to reduce muscle tightness, improve flexibility, manage training-related aches and pains, and support your recovery between training sessions. Many runners incorporate deep tissue massage and deep tissue therapy into their training plan to help maintain muscle health and stay comfortable throughout their marathon preparation.
