Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Podium Running Performance Hub

  • Do I need to be injured to see a running physiotherapist?

    No. Physiotherapy can be useful for runners who want to improve performance, understand their running mechanics, prepare for an event or reduce their risk of injury. In particular, we have designed our running gait analysis clinic for those runners looking to improve performance.

  • Can you analyse my running remotely?

    Yes. Our Virtual Run Clinic allows you to send outdoor running videos for analysis followed by a video consultation.

  • Can you help me with a return to running after injury?

    Yes. We specialise in return to running post injury. A successful return to running depends on the injury, its severity, your rehabilitation progress and your ability to tolerate progressively increasing loads. We can guide you through each phase of your rehab.

  • What does a running physiotherapist do?

    A running physiotherapist assesses and treats running-related injuries while also considering the demands of running, training load, strength, running mechanics and your individual goals. Running physiotherapy can also be useful for runners who aren’t injured but want to improve their performance or reduce their risk of injury.

  • Do you accept private health insurance?

    Yes. We accept both self-paying patients and those using private health insurance. We work with a range of major insurers including AXA, WPA, Vitality and AVIVA. If you are planning to use insurance, please contact your provider before booking to confirm your level of cover and authorisation requirements.

  • Can you help me choose running shoes?

    Yes. We have a wealth of experience in helping runners choose the right shoe for them based on injury history, the type of running you are doing and your running goals.

  • Do you work with beginner runners?

    Yes! We work with runners of all levels, abilities and experience. We are passionate about ensuring everyone can enjoy running.

  • Can a running physio help me improve my performance?

    A running physio can assess your physical capacity, strength, running mechanics and training demands to identify areas that may be limiting your performance. This can help guide your rehabilitation, strength training and running programme.

I’ve been to Jen for physiotherapy treatment, run clinic, and coaching and I highly recommend her for everything running and physio! Jen has an amazing ability to get to the root of problems and work with you to implement solutions and improvements. My strength and running have both developed so much since working with her. She’s extremely knowledgeable, friendly and truly an expert in the field.

Jen was brilliant! She identified that I have/had weak calves, possibly linked to a previous broken leg, the run clinic with video analysis gave me clear direction on what to work on. My running has improved significantly since, and I went on to complete my first Ironman 70.3 this summer. Thanks, Jen and Podium!

I visited Podium and the service was exceptional. My assessment provided me with valuable information regarding my running gait, and Rose identified muscle imbalances that were causing my running form to suffer. After practicing the recommended form changes using strides, I noticed my running seemed easier. She also helped me rehab my Achilles, and I am running pain-free again after following the rehab workouts. Overall, I highly recommend Podium Physiotherapy for your running or physiotherapy needs.

The physio service provided by Jen has been excellent. Personalised, flexible to my needs and history. Its a good set up, with weights and equipment so you can practice exercises supervised. I'm very pleased to have found Podium. Thank you!

I saw Jen a couple of weeks before Ironman Copenhagen when I had a muscle spasm in my back which locked my neck and shoulders. Jen was really accommodating to fit the appointment in, was quick to diagnose and give some immediate treatment to start to unlock it and very reassuring with diagnosis and treatment advise, just what you need so close to a big event. Really loved the environment they work out of as well. I would recommend and will use them again.

I came to Jen whilst suffering with a bulging disc and various lower limb injuries, hoping to make the start line of an Ironman 4 months away. I immediately felt like she understood my body and what I needed to work on. With a holistic approach focusing on my strength, recovery and adapting training load I am now the strongest and most resilient I’ve ever been! I couldn’t recommend Podium Physiotherapy enough and wouldn’t be lining up at Ironman CPH in 2 weeks if it wasn’t for Jen!

After picking up a few small injuries over the last year or so related to running volume and general lack of robustness, I chatted with Jen at Podium about her Virtual Run Clinic. Firstly we looked at my strength in different areas, then my running to see where specifically we needed to strengthen to improve my running efficiency, but more importantly that robustness I was lacking. Jen explained everything to me, from the exercises to the way they will influence my running. This was all condensed into an information pack so I can always refer back and utilise the information in the future. The strength training has been really successful so far and I have noticed the difference in seeing my endurance go up in the gym, but also experiencing less fatigue on the run and bike. Highly recommend Jen and the team at Podium .

I had an online consultation with Rose and found it excellent. She was thorough, knowledgeable and I didn’t feel the online call created any barriers to her getting to the bottom of what was going on. It was also really reassuring to speak to someone who is an endurance athlete herself and genuinely understands what normal training looks like, rather than immediately assuming that any discomfort means you need to stop. I came away with a much clearer understanding of the issue and a practical plan for moving forward. I would highly recommend Podium Physiotherapy.

Rose has been incredible in helping me through a hamstring tendon issue. I am a triathlete and she has very tactical advice while keeping my training goals in mind. I have appreciated her ability to fit me in on short notice and provide thorough help virtually. I highly recommend Rose and Podium Physiotherapy. Extremely grateful for their expertise and support keeping me strong, healthy, and ready to compete.
