FAQs

01 Should I stop running if I have a running injury?

Not always. Many running injuries can be managed without stopping completely. Following a detailed assessment, we'll advise whether you can continue running with modifications or whether a short period of reduced training is needed to optimise your recovery.

02 Can physiotherapy improve my running?

Yes. Where appropriate, we assess your running mechanics alongside strength, mobility, and training habits to identify factors that may be contributing to your injury. Small changes, combined with targeted rehabilitation, can often improve efficiency and reduce injury risk.

03 Do you work with marathon and trail runners?

Absolutely. We regularly help runners training for 5K, 10K, half marathons, marathons, trail races, ultra marathons, and endurance events. Rehabilitation is always tailored to the specific demands of your event and training goals.

04 Can physiotherapy help prevent running injuries?

Yes. Identifying strength deficits, movement limitations, training errors, and recovery strategies can significantly reduce your risk of future injuries and help you continue running consistently.
