- Self manage your injury with expert physio guidance
Many running injuries can be effectively self managed with the help of expert advice from a Chartered Physiotherapist / Physical Therapist.
Running is often described as an addiction. It must be to suffer so many self-inflicted aches and pains! Regardless of whether running or jogging injuries are repetitive or traumatic, the key to effective recovery is understanding the injury.
We have specialised running physios with years of professional experience in getting athletes back on track. Being runners ourselves at club level and beyond, in various disciplines: fell, track, orienteering and adventure racing, we also have the personal experience of having gone through the types of sports injuries you may now be experiencing.
The most common traumatic running injuries seen in runners are: sprained ankles, strained calfs, hamstrings and quads..
Whilst the most common repetitive running injuries include; achilles tendonitis; plantar faschilitis (pain under the foot) anterior knee pain (runners knee) and hip pain.
At Physiobench we can help you self manage your running injury
Every injury is unique, so self managing your running injury doesn't necessarily involve following a standard set of exercises. However we encourage you to first explore our general advice
To greatly improve your chance in succeeding to self manage your injury, our expert team of Chartered Physiotherapists / Physical Therapists can help. You can choose a physio, our recommendation being Jane Hodgson, who is a runner herself, with the specialist skills to provide you with a personalised treatment programme
Runners knee is a very common injury, sometimes said to affect as many as 1 in 4 people. Also known as anterior knee pain and patella femoral syndrome, it is characterised by pain under the knee cap.
A sprained, swollen or turned ankle is one of the most commonly occurring injuries to the leg. Determining the severity of the sprain is the key to assessing the correct course of treatment.
It is common to help heal an injury with ice. Deciding whether you should apply ice rather than heat, and for how long can make the difference between helping to heal your injury and making it worse.
For the inclusive package of £28, you receive a personalised injury self management programme comprising exercises and expert advice from your chosen physio.
Included in this price is a follow up assessment, which you can choose to take at any time within 3 months folllowing the initial assessment.
