Common Running Injuries We Treat Include:

Achilles Tendinopathy

Achilles tendinopathy commonly causes pain and stiffness at the back of the heel, particularly during running or the first few steps in the morning. Our specialist running physiotherapists identify the underlying causes and create a personalised rehabilitation programme to reduce pain, restore tendon strength, and help you return to running safely.

Runner's Knee

Runner’s knee causes pain around or behind the kneecap and is one of the most common injuries affecting runners. We assess the factors contributing to your symptoms and provide targeted treatment to improve strength, reduce pain, and support a successful return to running.

Plantar fascitis

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain that can affect both running performance and daily activities. We provide personalised treatment to reduce pain, improve foot strength, and help you return to running with confidence.

IT Band Syndrome

Iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome causes pain on the outside of the knee and is particularly common in runners increasing their mileage or hill training. Symptoms often begin gradually and can become severe enough to limit training or racing.We use a combination of strength training, load management, and running-specific rehabilitation to help you return to pain-free running.

Shin Splints

Shin splints typically cause pain along the inside of the shin and often develop when training loads increase too quickly. Our physiotherapists identify the root cause of your symptoms and provide evidence-based rehabilitation to help you recover and prevent future injuries.

Stress Fractures

Stress fractures are overuse injuries caused by repetitive loading and often present as localised pain that worsens during running. We guide runners through appropriate rehabilitation and a structured return-t

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Running Injuries

  • What are the most common running injuries?

    Common running injuries include runner’s knee, Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, IT band syndrome, calf strains and stress fractures. A physiotherapy assessment can identify the underlying cause and guide the most effective treatment plan.

  • Should I stop running if I have an injury?

    Not always. Many running injuries can be managed while maintaining some level of training. At Podium Physiotherapy we can advise on appropriate activity modification, cross-training and a safe return-to-running programme.

  • How do I know if my running injury is serious?

    Persistent pain, swelling, pain that worsens during activity, difficulty weight-bearing, or pain that affects daily activities may indicate a more significant injury. Early assessment can help prevent the problem from becoming chronic.

  • Do you treat runners of all abilities?

    Yes. We work with recreational runners, marathon runners, ultra-distance athletes and competitive runners of all levels.

  • What causes running injuries?

    Running injuries are often caused by a combination of factors, including sudden increases in training volume, inadequate recovery, muscle weakness, poor running mechanics, footwear issues and previous injuries. At Podium Physiotherapy, we will complete a detailed assessment of all these factors, in combination with a physical assessment and gait analysis as appropriate.

  • Do I need a running gait analysis?

    A running gait assessment can be valuable if you have recurring injuries, pain while running, or want to improve efficiency and performance. It can identify movement patterns that may contribute to injury risk. At Podium Physiotherapy, we have a specialist run gait analysis clinic and we will tell you if we think this would be valuable.

  • Can physiotherapy help prevent future running injuries?

    Yes. Physiotherapy can identify weaknesses, mobility restrictions and training errors that may increase injury risk, helping runners stay healthy and perform at their best.

    Our physiotherapy and running clinic is based in Raynes Park. We are conveniently located close to Raynes Park Station, making us accessible from Wimbledon, New Malden, Kingston and Surbiton.
