Running Injuries.
Running is an amazing form of exercise! The benefits are huge. Running has many positive effects on our physical health, psychological health and social well-being. Running is often an integral part of people's lives and so anything that prevents a runner from picking up those trainers and getting out there is hugely frustrating and can have a big impact on their life.
Accurate assessment, considering all aspects of an injury is vitally important for treatment planning, rehabilitation and return to full fitness.
