Pain isn’t always where the problem is.
What you feel is often referral pain — a signal from elsewhere in the body.

At AXIS, we look at the full movement chain, not just the symptom. Because treating the source (not just the site) is what creates real, lasting change.

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of:
pain → rest → flare-up → repeat

You don’t need more rest.
You need a better loading strategy.

Running places repetitive load on the same muscle groups thousands of times per session, which is why targeted strength work is essential for both performance and injury prevention.

Here are three key muscle groups runners should prioritise each week:

Calves
Your calves absorb and generate significant force with every stride. Strengthening them helps improve propulsion and reduce strain on the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia.

Hip Stabilisers
Strong glutes and hip stabilisers help control pelvic and knee alignment during single-leg loading -- a key component of efficient running mechanics.

Hip Flexors
Often overlooked, the hip flexors help drive the leg forward during the swing phase of running and support overall stride efficiency.

Adding exercises like these into your weekly routine can help build strength, control and resilience to keep you running consistently.

If you're dealing with persistent running injuries or looking to optimise your training, our physio team can help guide a personalised strength program. Book in today!

Overuse injuries are some of the most common issues we treat in active clients and athletes. They usually creep up slowly — a dull ache, stiffness, or discomfort that builds over time. Left untreated, they can sideline you for weeks (or months).

The good news? They’re often preventable.
⚖️ The key is balancing load, recovery, and movement quality.

At our Surry Hills clinic, we help you:
✔️ Identify risk factors in your training or biomechanics
✔️ Build strength and mobility in the right areas
✔️ Progress load safely to avoid repeated strain
✔️ Recover smarter, not just harder

If you’ve got a ni**le that won’t go away, book a physio assessment and prevent it from becoming a full-blown injury.

Knee pain is one of the most common issues we see — from runners with overuse injuries to everyday clients with patellofemoral pain.

Clinical Pilates, when prescribed by a physiotherapist, can be an effective part of rehab. It helps restore lower limb alignment, strength, and neuromuscular control. 💪🏽⚡️

Generic exercise programs don’t account for individual pain triggers — which is why assessment and tailoring matter. 📝 ✅

If you’re experiencing knee pain, book in with our team to start an evidence-based rehab plan.
