Common overuse running injuries that can leave you feeling a bit broken!🏃‍♂️☹️

⛔️ ITB syndrome - Pain on the outside of the knee, often worse with downhill running

⛔️Achilles tendinopathy- repeated micro trauma to the tendon, often stiff the day after a run.

⛔️ Shin Splints - sharp pain or dull ache on the front of your shin, often eases soon after stopping running

⛔️Plantar fasciitis- also referred to as plantar heel pain (pain under your heel) during and after running.

These are just a few to list and there are many causes and symptoms.
One common cause is incorrect load- too much too soon, or the intensity is too high. It can also work the opposite way when training load is low and inconsistent. Both cause stress In the bodies tissue and they are unable to tolerate the repeated load!

REST IS NOT THE ANSWER- MODIFY & STRENGTHEN ✅🏃‍♂️👍

Ligament injuries, in particular ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries are now being linked to menstrual cycles and spikes in oestrogen during ovulation. Women are 3-6 times more likely to suffer a ACL injury than men!

Multidirectional women’s sport including football, netball, rugby and racket based sports are higher risk due to the rapid changes of direction, acceleration and deceleration.

This is also something to consider during the post natal phase when hormones are changing.

Some positive research has shown reduction in ligament risk using oral contraceptives.

When looking at runners gait patterns, what happens around the hips and knees can be associated with potential of use injuries including in the knees, hips and lower back.

⛔️ ITB syndrome
⛔️ Patella femoral Pain
⛔️ Bursitis
⛔️Lower back / SIJ pain

When the knees drop into the midline (knee valgus) like this or the hips lean out beyond the knee line this can put strain through the leg hip and lower back.

On average it’s between 1.5-3 x body weight of impact forces on ground contact the body needs to absorb.
Ideally what we’re looking for is in that during mid stance, the ankle, knee, hip and shoulder are all stacked on top of one another. This allows the body to absorb those forces more evenly.

Weakness in the core, hip and adductor muscles can be linked to this alignment issue, along with foot probation issues, incorrect trainers and running form including stride width and cadence.

This is often more common in female runners due to natural hip width.
