Return to Running Physiotherapy
Our return to running physiotherapy program helps you settle down pain, rebuild strength, and understand how to safely reintroduce running in a sustainable way.
Running is one of the most popular forms of physical activity in the UK, offering both physical and mental benefits. However, it also comes with one of the highest injury rates among all sports. The repetitive, high-impact nature of running places significant stress on key structures in the lower limbs. Over time, this can lead to overuse injuries — especially when training volume, technique, or recovery are not well managed.
LIFT is a running injury specialist clinic which has helped numerous runners that run a variety of distances from 5k to ultra marathon distance.
We are experts at treating common running conditions such as:
- Runners Knee
- Patella Tendinopathy
- ITB Syndrome
- Shin Splints
- Achilles Teninopathy
- Ankle Pain
- Plantar Fascititis
- Running Hip Pain
- Calf pain
- Many more
