How Can Physiotherapy Help Runners

Running is hard enough without an injury.

Let us help you take the first few steps to recovery

 
You press on through the pain, though it stabs you with every stride. You’re determined to continue. You want that personal best, and a little bit of pain isn’t going to get the better of you. But deep down, you know it’s not really ‘just a little bit of pain’. And it hasn’t just happened. For the last few weeks or months, you’ve noticed that niggle, and it’s getting worse.

If that sounds like you, you’re not alone. One in two runners usually reports an injury each year, with knee injuries the most common.

The good news is, a visit to a physiotherapist at Northern District Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic can help you. When you hobble into NDPE, thinking your running days are over, we’ll have you back on your feet and pounding the streets as quickly as we can.

We don’t just treat and manage running injuries, we assess you and give advice on how to avoid the same thing happening again. We’ll treat the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. In our view, getting rid of any pain without solving the actual problem is a little bit like trying to save on electricity by turning down the sound on the television; you can’t hear it, so it must be switched off.

Throughout your treatment, our focus will remain on prevention—the last thing we want is for you to be back again in a few months’ time with the same problem. At NDPE, we know running is hard enough without an injury, so don’t make it more difficult. If you feel pain when you’re clocking up the k’s, give NDPE a call on 02 9874 8410.
