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.
If you have faced this kind of situation, an expert physiotherapist can be your best friend. Our team of physiotherapists will walk you through every step of the assessment and will ensure you feel comfortable but push you when needed during each treatment session.

Reasons why your injuries could be Lasting Longer
-
Like others, you assumed the pain would go away on its own...but it didn’t.
-
You ignored it, thinking “it’s only normal” because you’re getting older
-
The doctor or pharmacist suggested painkillers, which didn’t help much because, as soon as they wore off, your pain returned.
-
You tried other methods like therapy and exercises but didn’t continue because of slow progress.
-
You relied on google, youtube, and home remedies which didn’t make any difference (or maybe even made your pain worse!)
