Running Physio Clinic
Our running clinic at MVMNT Physiotherapy aims to progress all runners not only in the form of speed and personal bests but, to improve each runner to become more resilient to injuries. Our aim is to help educate and reduce the risk of injury in each runner whilst helping them progress towards their running goals.
Running is a repetitive sport involving multiple loading cycles. We aim to get a clear insight into how you run and takes the guess work out what is occurring. We use a clinical assessment, strength testing, and functional testing to give us a clear image of what the underlying cause of your pain is. We can then proceed to assess you on our treadmills is appropriate, so that we can get a running plan started.
Unfortunately, with some injuries, our testing may find that you need some time away form running. In this instance, we will have you immediately begin a return to running strength and conditioning program to speed up the recovery process.
