Are you a runner struggling with injury?
Running places significant demands on the body. With every stride, the forces going through your joints and muscles can be much higher than expected.
In fact:
πββοΈ Up to 7x your body weight can pass through the Achilles tendon and calf
πββοΈ Around 5x your body weight can go through the knee joint
Without enough strength to cope with these loads, the risk of injury can increase.
A structured strength training programme alongside your running can help to:
β Improve running efficiency
β Build resilience in muscles and tendons
β Reduce the risk of common running injuries
β Support a safe return to running after injury
If youβre struggling with running-related pain, physiotherapy can help guide you with the right strength and rehabilitation programme.
