Injured While Running?
Whether you're training for your first 5k, preparing for a half marathon or simply enjoy running to stay fit, an injury can quickly become frustrating and disruptive.

Why Do Running Injuries Occur?
Most running injuries develop due to a combination of factors rather than a single cause.
Common contributing factors include:
✔ Sudden increases in mileage
✔ Changes in training intensity
✔ Inadequate recovery
✔ Muscle weakness

Return To Running Safely
Many runners try to push through pain hoping it will settle on its own.
Unfortunately, this often leads to longer recovery times and recurring injuries.
Early assessment can help identify the underlying issue and keep you running for longer.

As both a physiotherapist and runner, I understand the importance of returning to activity safely and confidently.
Treatment focuses not only on reducing pain but identifying why the injury developed in the first place.
