Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Running Injuries
Do I have to stop running during treatment?
Usually not. Modifying load – not eliminating it – is often part of the approach. We aim to keep you running where possible while addressing the underlying issue.
How is this different from seeing a physio?
Our focus is specifically on the foot, ankle, and lower limb as it relates to running biomechanics, load, and strength. We use objective testing tools that give us actual numbers to work from rather than symptom management alone.
What does a Running Assessment involve?
Strength testing with VALD technology, video gait analysis, a load and training history review, and a clear plan with specific targets and next steps. You leave knowing exactly where you stand.
My injury keeps coming back - can you actually fix it?
A recurring injury is usually a sign that the underlying limiting factor hasn’t been identified and addressed. Once we find it – whether that’s a strength gap, a load issue, or a movement pattern – we can build a plan around it.
I'm training for an event - is it too late to see you?
Come in as soon as possible. Even in the lead-up to an event there’s often meaningful work we can do to settle things down, reduce risk, and help you get to the start line in the best shape possible.
