There are 3 kinds of runners...
Runners that currently have an injury, runners that are returning from an injury and runners that are just about to have an injury!!
As harsh as that may seem, running carries one of the highest levels of vulnerability to injury based on the chronicity of the repetitive ‘weight loading on the legs’ whilst the frequency, duration and intensity of running increases throughout most training programmes. Although frequent stretching is great to maintain flexibility, sports massage is the key component to promote and improve flexibility and treat soft tissue injuries.
Our new sports injury, rehab and prevention clinic is perfect for anyone with chronic pain, injury or range of movement issues. Our StrideUK therapists are top of their field with running and biomechanics and perfectly compliment our video gait analysis service.
Whether a new client to StrideUK or have previously visited to have your running technique analysed, we can help support your own unique running gait and help design a programme to rehab and prevent injuries.
