Physiotherapy for Runners

Running places repetitive stress on the feet, knees, and hips, which can lead to overuse injuries if form or training load isn't managed well. Physiotherapy helps runners build strength, correct technique, and recover from strain.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Warm up before and cool down after every run
  • Increase running distance and intensity gradually
  • Wear supportive, well-fitted running shoes
  • Include strength training for hips and core in your routine

Don'ts

  • Don't increase mileage too quickly week to week
  • Don't run through sharp or worsening pain
  • Don't ignore worn-out or unsuitable footwear
  • Don't skip rest days between intense runs

When to see a physiotherapist: If running-related pain persists for more than a few days, worsens with activity, or affects your gait, consult a physiotherapist for a running assessment and recovery plan.
