What running injury do I have?
To accurately diagnose a running injury, it is important to see a running physio who can perform a thorough running assessment. The assessment a running physiotherapist performs may include a physical examination, a medical history review, and a video analysis of your running technique and form. Based on the results of the assessment, the running physiotherapist will be able to diagnose the specific running injury and provide a treatment plan.
When can I return to running after a running injury?
The timeline for returning to running after a running injury will depend on the type and severity of the injury and the individual's treatment and recovery progress. A running physiotherapist can guide you when it is safe to return to running and help develop a return-to-running plan tailored to your individual needs and goals. We also can send you to our sports physiotherapist in Auckland for second opinion if necessary
I have a running injury. What can I do instead?
While recovering from a running injury, cross-training activities such as cycling, swimming, or yoga can help maintain cardiovascular fitness and reduce the risk of further injury. Working with a running coach or a running physio to improve movement efficiency, foot, and knee mechanics can also help prevent future injuries and improve performance. Additionally, physical therapy and rest may be recommended to aid in the healing process.
Can a running physiotherapist help with runner's knee?
Yes, a running physiotherapist can help with runner's knee. Runner's knee is a common injury runners develop that can be caused by several factors including overuse, poor running technique, or weak muscles. A running physiotherapist can perform a running assessment to identify the specific cause of runner's knee and develop a treatment plan that may include physical therapy, modifications to training, and exercises to improve strength and stability. With the right treatment and attention to injury prevention, it is possible to fully recover from a runner's knee and get back to running.

The Role of A Running Physiotherapist in Managing Injuries
Runners are prone to injuries when the proper running form, technique, and footwear are not considered. A running injury physiotherapist can assist in preventing and treating such injuries through assessments and coaching. Assessments involve analysing running style, running shoes, and technique to determine any factors contributing to injury. With the help of a coach and video analysis, runners can improve their form and reduce injury risk.
Identifying The Need For A Running Physiotherapist
Determining the severity of a running injury can be challenging. Indicators of a serious injury include persistent pain, difficulty moving, and decreased performance. In such cases, it's advisable to consult a running injury physiotherapist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Prevention of Running Injuries
To avoid running injuries, runners should prioritise proper form, technique, and footwear. Running assessments can highlight areas for improvement. Strengthening knee and foot muscles, adequate stretching, and proper movement also reduce injury risk and enhance performance.
Achieving Running Goals with Physiotherapy
A running injury physiotherapist can help runners reach their goals, whether it's improving speed, avoiding injuries, or simply reaching personal targets. A comprehensive running assessment, identification of contributing injury factors, and a tailored treatment plan are provided to aid progress. By incorporating proper form, technique, and footwear, runners can achieve their goals and reduce injury risk.
