Stress Fracture Physiotherapy for Runners

Persistent pain when running, walking or exercising? It could be more than a minor injury.

At Podium Physiotherapy, we help runners, athletes and active adults across South West London recover from stress fractures and bone stress injuries safely and effectively. Our specialist sports physiotherapists provide expert assessment, rehabilitation and return-to-running programmes designed to help you recover fully and reduce the risk of future injury.

Whether you’re training for a marathon, preparing for a triathlon or simply trying to stay active, we can help you understand the cause of your pain and create a clear plan for recovery.

Symptoms of a bone stress injury

Bone stress injury can present in several ways, depending on how early it is picked. Common symptoms include:

  • A localised ache in one specific area of bone
  • Pain that builds gradually during activity (often running, jumping, or walking)
  • Symptoms that ease with rest in the early stages
  • Discomfort that may eventually persist during daily walking or even at rest
  • Occasionally mild swelling around the painful site

What to expect from your consultation at Podium Physiotherapy

We work closely with each client to devise a bespoke rehab programme to include a return to running programme.

As part of your treatment plan, we focus on:

  • A detailed review of your training to date
  • Discussions around risk factors for stress fractures
  • Biomechanical assessment
  • Discussions around training adaptations and cross training
  • Clear treatment plan with regular check-ins
  • Bespoke return to running programme
