RUNNING INJURIES

Feel Free To Make an Appointment

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

It is fantastic to see running on the rise as a participation sport; over 2 million people in the UK run at least once a week! Running is a great way to become more active and improve your lifestyle, however, (as with all activities and sports), if you’re not quite ready, running injuries can occur. In order to keep injuries to a minimum, it is important for your body to move well and to be well-conditioned for the activity.

BENEFITS OF A RUNNING ASSESSMENT

Whether you enjoy running as an activity to keep fit; you’re training for your first 5km, or you are a regular marathon runner, Tom can advise and assist you to get back running and keep you injury-free.

At Monkman Physiotherapy, Tom prides himself on being very thorough when getting to the bottom of your running injury. The assessment will involve the following:

Running-specific musculoskeletal assessment.

Following the assessment, Tom will be able to assist your pain/discomfort with some hands-on treatment, whether this is a massage or joint mobilisations for your running injury. This will then lead to the development of a bespoke rehabilitation programme which will be specific to you and your needs.

TESTIMONIALS

Tom has been instrumental in my recovery from a repetitive calf injury. As as keen endurance athlete himself, he applied his passion for sport and understanding of anatomy to create a program that would suit my training. His follow up and after care is second to now. Would highly recommend to others.

Simon Morrison

Tom has always been a great physio for me, I recently had a long term back pain that I did not know the source. He checked me over and advised me what to do and within a couple months it has completely gone.

Rob Edwards

I’ve had multiple calf injuries due to level of exercise required to compete as a semi professional Ironman athlete. Specifically an injury picked up during a middle distance triathlon. Through using his specialist knowledge around triathlon, Tom used massage and showed me some great exercises to assist me back to competition.

Charlie

I suffered a double break to my collarbone after a cycling accident. An 8 week recovery process proved to be only partially successful and I required surgery. Post surgery I spoke to Tom who recognised the importance of getting my mobility and strength back so I could get back on my bike. Tom provided me exercises to do, which helped to restore my range of mobility and importantly provided me with some strength that resolved the numbness I would feel on rides longer than 30 minutes.

Tom is a great professional who understands the passion we all have for sport and will have you up and running again in no time.
