Strength work is one of the biggest competitive advantages a runner can give themselves. 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♂️

High-quality research shows that strength training:
• Improves running economy in distance runners (Balsalobre-Fernández et al. 2016; Blagrove et al. 2018)
• Reduces overuse injury risk when done consistently (Lauersen et al. 2014)

If you’re only logging kms, you’re missing half the equation.
Want help building a plan that actually supports your running? We can help.

Think your “shin splints” will just go away if you push through?
Here’s a real example of why early assessment matters.

A recreational runner came in with what they thought was just overtraining soreness. Focal shin pain, worse with impact, random night pain… and a positive hop test.
MRI confirmed a tibial stress fracture.

So what actually happened next?

👉 The injury was a low-risk posteromedial tibial stress fracture
This matters because low-risk sites usually recover well with smart load management and don’t always need a boot.
(Yes - we considered one. It wasn’t required because walking was comfortable and load could be controlled.)

👉 We stopped running, but didn’t stop training
Bike, pool running and targeted strength allowed fitness to stay high while bone load came down.

👉 We fixed the underlying issues
Calf/soleus strength deficits, recent speed-session spikes and energy availability were all addressed.

👉 Return to running was graded and criteria-based
Pain-free walking → pain-free hopping → walk–run intervals → continuous runs → speed.

Outcome:
Back to 5 km continuous running by week 7 and full training by week 10 with no flare-ups.

If you run, here’s the big takeaway:

Pain that is focal, progressive or doesn’t settle with rest is NOT “normal running pain.”
Early assessment changes the timeline.

Does running ruin your knees?

Research says probably not - recreational runners actually have lower rates of knee OA than non-runners.

Most “runner’s knee” pain comes from poor training load.

To keep your knees happy:
• Build volume gradually
• Add 2x/week strength training
• Mix surfaces + pace
• Get niggles checked early

Running isn’t the problem, load management is.

Lingering ankle problems??

1 in 3 people still have ongoing ankle pain, swelling or instability after a sprain - usually because rehab stopped too early.

Ankle sprains feel like they’ll sort themselves out…
But the lingering stiffness, weakness or “rolling your ankle all the time” is often preventable with proper strengthening and balance work.

If you’ve sprained your ankle this year or still don’t feel 100%, it’s worth getting it checked.

Your extras reset soon 🎯

A lot of people don’t actually know what they’re covered for or what’s still sitting there unused before the year ends.

Depending on your policy, you might still have rebates available for things like:
• Physiotherapy
• Exercise Physiology
• Podiatry
• Remedial Massage
• Clinical Pilates*
• Orthotics*

It only takes a minute to check your fund’s app or member portal, and it can help you plan out any end-of-year niggles, reviews or strength goals.

We’re here if you want support, but start by having a quick look at your cover so you know what you’ve got left!

“I stopped doing squats - they always hurt my knees.”

We hear this every week! 😔

The truth? Most people don’t need to stop completely. They just need to change how they move and how much they load.

A few tweaks in range, tempo and strength balance can make a huge difference in how something feels.

If you’re struggling with your squats, reach out to our team for support!

Some snaps from our sports trainer and new grad physio strapping and taping course we ran on Saturday, a great turn out and an even better feedback from our attendees! We are delighted to be giving something back to our young Physio’s and sports trainers coming through the ranks. We are looking forward to building on this course and delivering it again later on in the year for those on our waiting list who missed out! 🙌

•This course is designed to make 3rd & 4th year physio students proficient at taping and feeling confident in a sports trainer role or team setting. ⛹️‍♀️

•Aimed at bridging the gaps seen in new grad and second year Physio’s in the application of various taping techniques for a number of pathologies that can be immediately implemented into treatment planning making new grad and young Physio’s more comfortable in the clinical setting.🧑‍⚕️

•Explaining and understanding the various types of tape, their applications, biomechanical considerations and clinical reasoning for and when applying it.👨‍🔬🤓
