RUNNING INJURIES

Have you ever been told by a healthcare provider that you cannot run just because you picked up an injury? Or have you been suffering from an injury for a while now?

Running injuries are very common among athletes. What’s also common is, passing it off as “nothing serious.” Yes, you might have been told to simply “RICE” it or take anti-inflammatory medication. But without proper treatment, it gradually gets worse, or you begin to build compensation around the injury without even noticing!​

Does that sound like you?

Well, you are not alone. In fact, we see people living with pain from an old injury, from sports or exercise, more often than you think, and they don’t have to be! One significant reason behind this is that athletes and runners go to the Doctors first with any injury. Oftentimes they are told to take a break, rest, wear support and try painkillers.

The main problem here is rest, and medicine isn’t always the best advice when it comes to running injuries. Sometimes you don’t even know where the pain is coming from. Other times, where the pain is coming from isn’t actually the area that needs to be treated. So it can get really confusing and frustrating for the athlete.
