💡 The team at Physio Hub Wiley Park have put together some tips to help you reduce pain while running.
1️⃣ Modify your load – decrease your running load to a level you can tolerate without pain. Load can be modified by changing distance, time, or speed.
2️⃣ Reduced impact – avoid down hills, stairs, trial softer surfaces such as grass.
3️⃣ Improve your strength – the main muscle groups involved in running are your quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, calves, and core. Strengthening these muscles can help offload other structures causing you pain.
4️⃣ Improve your stability – work on single leg exercises to help improve muscle activation and co-ordination. This is important for hip and knee stability in preventing and recovering from running injuries.
5️⃣ Running technique – book in for a running assessment, and our physiotherapists will assess strength, stability and technique and provide guidance on modifications.
☎️ If you have tried multiple strategies and still experience pain with running, DM, book online or call us on 9740 5453 to book in for a physiotherapy appointment.
✅ We will assess, diagnose and treat your issue and work with you to return to running as soon as possible!
