🏃‍♀️Prevent Running Injuries

I am a runner and have been for a while. I often see patients with running-related issues. Running should be fun, not painful!

Here are some of my essential tips to perform your best and remain injury-free:
1. Increase gradually & train smart: Let your body adapt through slow and steady progressive load. Avoid sudden spikes in training volume/intensity.
2. Strengthen glutes, legs & core: Strong muscles protect joints and improve form. Stronger muscles also help you feel better for longer.
3. Warm up, cool down & recover: Stretch your body and allow for proper recovery. This is often overlook and is a common cause of injury.
4. Listen to your body: When starting out running, there can be some discomfort. However, it’s important not to ignore pain. If something doesn’t feel right, take a break, rest and address it.
5. Use proper shoes and good form: Preventing issues is easier than solving them later. Ensure you are using adequate shoes to reduce stress on your feet. Work on good form to maximise efficiency and reduce wear on your body.

Pregnancy Awareness Week 💛
Pregnancy brings many changes to the body—and while it can be challenging, it’s also an exciting and meaningful time. Being informed and supported can make a big difference in how your body adapts.

Today marks the start of Pregnancy Awareness Week, a time to highlight the importance of supporting maternal health throughout
pregnancy.

As the body changes, the spine, pelvis, and surrounding muscles are placed under increased physical demand. Chiropractic care
during pregnancy focuses on supporting spinal and pelvic function, promoting comfort, mobility, and overall physical well-being
as the body adapts.

Appropriate, evidence-informed chiropractic care may help manage common pregnancy-related musculoskeletal discomforts and support a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy journey.

After this assessment, your chiropractor will:
✔️ Provide a diagnosis
✔️ Explain if chiropractic care is right for you
✔️ Outline a personalized treatment plan
✔️ Answer all your questions

If suitable, treatment may start the same day. And if your condition needs another healthcare professional, we’ll refer you to the right specialist.
