Physiotherapy for Running Injuries

https://spectrumphysiotherapy.com/physiotherapy-running-injuries/

Physiotherapy for Running Injuries
Running is one of the most popular forms of exercise, yet it comes with a high risk of injury. Statistics show that nearly 80% of runners experience some form of injury, whether it’s a strain, sprain, or a more complex musculoskeletal issue. This high rate of injury is partly due to the unique demands running places on the body. With each step, a runner’s foot hits the ground with a force roughly three times their body weight, making proper form, footwear, and conditioning crucial.

Physiotherapy is an essential tool for addressing and preventing running injuries. By examining biomechanics, pinpointing weaknesses, and creating personalized recovery plans, physiotherapy supports runners in recovering from injury and returning to the sport they love safely. At Spectrum, a Newmarket physiotherapy clinic, we understand the common challenges runners face and are here to help patients of all levels recover and build strength to prevent future injuries.
