Running
Runners are highly motivated, and we understand that your primary concern may be having to stop running. We focus on load management to help keep you in the "Sweet Spot" where tissues can adapt and strengthen safely.
At our Ultimo clinic, we use high-speed video capture of your running form on a treadmill to assess over-striding, cadence, vertical oscillation, and pelvic drop. This results in a frame-by-frame breakdown and a specific retraining plan to help improve efficiency and reduce injury risk.
We educate you on finding the "Goldilocks Zone" of training to avoid both deconditioning and overuse injuries like tendinopathy. By applying relative loading principles, we find the safe amount of activity you can sustain during your recovery.
We address the root causes of running injuries through targeted strengthening and biomechanical adjustments rather than relying solely on passive treatments. Our approach includes comprehensive management of tissue and bone stress through nutrition, footwear advice, and graduated return-to-run programs.

FAQ
Rarely! We focus on 'Relative Loading'—finding the amount of running you can do safely while you rehabilitate.
We provide expert shoe assessments based on your foot strike and specific injury history to help you make an informed decision.
We provide a brief explanation and training plan on how 5–10% increases in your steps per minute can effectively reduce joint load.
It is the "Sweet Spot" where your tissues adapt and get stronger, helping you avoid doing too little (which causes deconditioning) or too much (which can lead to overuse injuries).
We analyse your running form on a treadmill for over-striding, cadence, vertical oscillation, and pelvic drop to create a specific retraining plan.
