What is a Running Physio?

Our running physios have elite running backgrounds, so they understand your issue.  They aim to help you overcome injuries, improve technique, and run more efficiently.

  • Prevent injury – Identify imbalances and inefficient movement patterns through detailed running assessments to reduce strain on joints and muscles.

  • Treat injury – Use targeted hands-on treatment and exercise rehab tailored to running-specific injuries like soft tissue, shin splints, tendon pain, or knee issues.

  • Optimise performance – Fine-tune your running form, cadence, and strength with physiotherapy-led drills and mobility work to run more efficiently and with less fatigue.

How Do Running Assessments Benefit Runners?

Running assessments help identify inefficiencies, prevent injuries, and improve overall performance.

  • Analyses your technique to spot issues with stride, posture, or foot strike
  • Pinpoints the cause of recurring pain or injuries with a detailed movement breakdown
  • Provides a tailored plan to improve efficiency, reduce load, and boost performance

What to Expect

Your session with one of our Running Physios is designed to assess how you move, identify any problem areas, and build a tailored plan to support your recovery or performance goals. Whether you’re injured or looking to run more efficiently, we’ll guide you with expert insights.

  • Detailed discussion of your training history, injury background, and running goals

  • Video analysis of your running technique to highlight areas for improvement

  • Strength, mobility, and movement testing relevant to running mechanics

  • A personalised plan that may include rehab exercises, running drills, load management, or technique changes
