RUNNING INJURIES AND ANALYSIS AT THE INJURY CLINIC
At The Injury Clinic Geelong, our physiotherapists are experts in diagnosing and managing running-related injuries. They are actively engaged in research on running injuries, running retraining, and biomechanics. With a strong foundation of clinical expertise and a deep understanding of the latest evidence, we offer a comprehensive, research-driven approach to treating running-related injuries.
Running Analysis Geelong
We offer running analysis to help assist in both injury management and improving running efficiency. This service involved strength testing, and running analysis to ensure we have a good understanding of the strengths and limitations of each runner.
Running Retraining Geelong
Running retraining and changes to technique are complex. They need to be implemented in the right way, and for the right reasons. We work with clients to identify if running retraining is appropriate, and help implement a plan if needed.
Running Load Management
Training load is one of the key contributors to running injuries, and it can be very difficult to get right. We work with clients (injured and uninjured) to establish a strong understanding of the effect of load changes on injury risk
