Common Running Injuries We Treat
We aim to resolve your injury and get you back to running at your best
Physiotherapy plays a key role in managing and preventing running-related knee injuries by addressing both pain and the factors contributing to it. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, restoring mobility, and strengthening the muscles around the knee, hips, and core to improve stability and alignment. We assess running form, footwear, and training habits to correct biomechanical issues and reduce strain on the knee. Through tailored exercises, manual therapy, and education, physiotherapy helps runners recover effectively and return to pain-free, efficient running.
Physiotherapy is highly effective in treating Achilles tendinopathy in runners by promoting healing and improving tendon strength and function. Treatment typically includes progressive loading and strengthening exercises to help the tendon adapt to stress, alongside techniques to improve calf flexibility and ankle mobility. We assess running mechanics, footwear, and training load to address contributing factors and prevent recurrence. With a structured rehabilitation plan, physiotherapy helps reduce pain, restore performance, and support a safe return to running.
Physiotherapy can greatly help runners with hip pain by identifying and addressing the underlying causes, such as muscle imbalances, joint stiffness, or poor running mechanics. Treatment focuses on reducing pain and inflammation while restoring strength, flexibility, and stability in the hips and surrounding muscles. We assess running technique, footwear, and training load to correct movement patterns that contribute to hip strain. Through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education, physiotherapy supports pain-free running and helps prevent future injuries.
Physiotherapy is essential for runners recovering from calf strains, helping to promote healing and prevent re-injury. Early treatment focuses on reducing pain and swelling while maintaining gentle mobility. As recovery progresses, we guide runners through targeted strengthening and stretching exercises to restore muscle flexibility, power, and endurance. We also assess running technique and training load to identify contributing factors and improve efficiency. With a structured, progressive rehab plan, physiotherapy supports a safe and confident return to running.
Physiotherapy is highly effective in treating and preventing shin splints in runners by addressing both pain relief and the underlying causes. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, improving flexibility, and strengthening the muscles of the lower leg and foot to support proper movement. We assess your running technique, footwear, and training load to correct biomechanical issues and prevent recurrence. With targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education on safe training practices, physiotherapy helps runners recover fully and return to running pain-free.
Physiotherapy plays a key role in helping runners diagnose and treat foot issues such as plantar fasciitis and stress fractures. Through a thorough assessment, we identify the underlying causes, such as training errors, footwear issues, or biomechanical imbalances. Treatment focuses on reducing pain and inflammation, improving flexibility and strength in the foot and lower leg, and correcting movement patterns to relieve stress on the affected area. We also guide runners on load management and gradual return-to-running plans. With expert care, we support effective recovery and helps prevent future injuries.
Physiotherapy can be highly effective in diagnosing and treating back pain in runners by identifying the underlying causes, such as muscle imbalances, poor posture, or running technique issues. Treatment focuses on relieving pain, improving mobility, and strengthening the core and hip muscles to support better spinal alignment and stability. We assess running form and training habits to correct mechanical issues that contribute to back strain. Through tailored exercises, manual therapy, and education, physiotherapy helps runners recover fully and maintain a strong, pain-free back for improved performance.
Strength and conditioning training is highly beneficial for runners, helping improve performance while reducing the risk of injury. By strengthening key muscle groups such as the core, hips, glutes, and legs, runners develop better stability, power, and running efficiency. This training also helps correct muscle imbalances and enhances joint control, reducing strain on the knees, hips, and ankles. Incorporating strength and conditioning into a running program improves endurance, speed, and resilience, allowing runners to perform at a higher level with fewer injuries.

"Jack has been an absolute life saver! I had been struggling with an injury for almost a year that was preventing me from working as a professional dancer. I had tried different types of therapy with little to no lasting results. Since having sessions with Jack my injury has improved greatly, with almost no pain, and I am getting back into dance! I feel much stronger. I will absolutely be visiting Jack again in the future, even if just for a check-up down the road. 10/10 experience!”

"Jack is a phenomenal physio who has helped me overcome chronic nerve issues (bilateral ulnar nerve) which doctors and physios have not been able to help with. Not only am I in less pain, but being able to lift weights; something I had not been able to do consistently or without pain for years. Most importantly, Jack cares for clients and operates with the highest form of integrity - i.e does not try to get you to see him a max amount of times for profit and is genuinely concerned. Couldn't recommend more highly."
Kash Whiteley
"I love training hard, with quite a gruelling routine involving both weights and martial arts. Injuries to my lower back and knee prevented me training the way I wanted to. Jack did a thorough assessment, worked out what was wrong then developed a rehab program. I am now able to train to the level I want to with confidence."
"Definitely recommend! Nick has been fantastic guiding me through my shoulder and hip rehab, as an apprentice physiotherapist myself, and having worked with a lot of physios, I can say that Nick is extremely experienced and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend these guys to anyone. Thank you!"
