Running should be a source of vitality, not recurring injury.

The Problem with Traditional Running Rehab

Many runners are trapped in a cycle of managing symptoms. You might rest when it flares up, complete generic exercises, and then find the pain—be it Runner's Knee, Hamstring Issues, or Tendinopathy—returns when you increase your volume. This happens because quick appointments and generic approaches rarely address the underlying movement dysfunction that led to the overload. They treat the site of pain in isolation, not your body's integrated running story.

The Movement Clinic Solution: A Performance-Focused System

We apply a performance-based system—similar to the meticulous care used by elite athletes—to every runner, from the weekend enthusiast to the marathon competitor. Our goal is not just to get you out of pain, but to build lasting robustness.

Here is how we ensure your running longevity:

  • We dedicate unhurried time to understanding your running mechanics, training history, and lifestyle. We look beyond the painful area (the victim) to identify the true cause (the culprit)—be it a hip stability deficit, a weak core, or foot mechanics. This bespoke assessment is the difference between a temporary fix and a permanent solution.

  • We use cutting-edge manual and soft tissue therapies to quickly calm down the irritated tissues and restore immediate, comfortable movement. This provides the crucial window of opportunity needed to begin the corrective training phase.

  • Our programme is tailored specifically to the unique, high-load demands of running. We focus on force control and muscle coordination (often utilising Reformer Pilates to build powerful hip and core stability), ensuring your body can handle the repetitive impact without breakdown. You will receive a clear, step-by-step plan that integrates seamlessly into your training schedule.

  • Whether you are aiming for a personal best or simply want to run without those frustrating, recurring niggles, our approach helps you:

    • Optimise your running form and gait mechanics.

    • Prevent common overuse injuries like stress fractures and tendon issues.

    • Build the specific strength and endurance needed for your event.
