If the World Athletics Indoor Championships inspired you to get out on the track or field, be sure to take it easy as over enthusiasm can sometimes lead to injuries!

Some of the most common issues we see athletes face are:
🔹 Sprains & strains – Sudden movements can overstretch soft tissues
🔹 Tendinopathy – Repetitive movements can cause pain and dysfunction in tendon tissue
🔹 Shin splints – High impact activities, or an increase in exercise intensity can cause stress to the muscle, tendon and bone tissue.
🔹 Knee injuries – Quick pivots and jumps can put strain on the knees, especially untrained ones!

💡 How can physiotherapy help?
✅ Accurate diagnosis – Understanding the root cause of your pain.
✅ Targeted rehab – Personalised exercises to rebuild strength & mobility.
✅ Injury prevention – Techniques to improve form and reduce future risk.
✅ Pain relief – Hands-on therapies to ease discomfort and speed recovery.

Whether you're recovering from an injury or aiming to stay in peak form, a physiotherapist can be your MVP. Don’t let pain sideline you—take action today! 🏅

Do you want to be better at running but find that all sorts of niggles and injuries are holding you back?

At the Physiotherapy clinic we offer running assessments which involve taking a detailed history of your problem and looking at:

• Your muscle strength and endurance
• Your training pattern
• How you run on treadmill (includes a video recording)
• Flexibility

The assessment will reveal any imbalances or differences that can be improved upon. We can also give you a small number of exercises to work on or running cues to improve your technique.

Book your assessment today if you want to be a more robust and efficient runner that goes faster or for longer depending on your goals.
