Injury Assessments

Recover. Rebuild.

Rehab that finds the cause of your pain.

Running niggles happen to the best of us — but they don’t have to keep you off the road for long. Biokineticist-led rehabilitation focuses on a scientific, movement-based approach that not only treats the pain but also addresses the root cause. 

Common running injuries treated include:

  • ITB syndrome: irritation on the outside of your knee or thigh from repetitive movement
  • Shin splints: a sharp ache down the front of your shin, often from overuse or training load
  • Knee pain: from patellofemoral pain (runner’s knee) to tendon problems
  • Plantar fasciitis: stubborn heel and foot pain that makes those first steps in the morning tough
  • Achilles tendon injuries: pain or stiffness in the heel and lower calf
  • Other recurring niggles: like hip, ankle, or muscle issues that keep coming back

A multidisciplinary team of biokineticists, physiotherapists, and doctors works together to help runners understand the issue and return to the road with evidence-based treatment.

And it’s not just runners — non-running injuries that affect movement, strength, or stability are also treated with the same science-led approach.

Your recovery, step by step

Getting to the cause

Every recovery begins with a thorough examination of what’s truly happening. We’ll discuss your story, training background, and goals before conducting some checks. I might do some strength and flexibility tests, look at your posture, or even a treadmill gait analysis. The aim? To find the real cause of your pain, not just patch up the symptoms.

1

Your personalised plan

Once we understand what’s behind the problem, I’ll create a plan tailored just for you. It’s designed to help you get stronger and reduce the likelihood of the same injury recurring.

2

Step-by-step progress

Recovery is never one-and-done. We’ll check in regularly to see how you’re doing, adjust your exercises as needed, and ensure you’re on track.

3

Return to running

When the time’s right, we’ll ease you back into running in a safe, supported way. You won’t just get back to where you were — you’ll return with better form, more strength, and the tools to keep injuries from holding you back.

Why rehab matters 

Rehab isn’t just about getting rid of pain — it’s about setting you up to run stronger and with less risk of future injuries. A good plan does more than patch things up:

  • Helps you regain strength, flexibility, and smooth movement
  • Tackles the real cause of your injury, not just the sore spot
  • Builds resilience so those niggles don’t keep coming back
  • Guides you back to running safely, with confidence in every step

With RunningSmart’s rehab, you’ll have a clear plan, the right support, and the confidence to get back to doing what you love — running well, and running strong.
