Running injury clinic
Running is a popular and effective form of exercise, but the repetitive impact placed on the legs can sometimes lead to injury. At The Haslemere Clinic, we provide specialist assessment and treatment for running-related injuries, combining osteopathy, biomechanics, and gait analysis. Our Running Injury Clinic supports runners of all levels, from recreational runners to competitive athletes. The aim is to understand how your body moves while running and identify factors that may contribute to discomfort or recurring injuries.
Common running injuries
We regularly assess and treat a range of conditions associated with running. These include shin splints, plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, Achilles tendon pain, knee pain during running, hip discomfort linked to running mechanics, and stress-related injuries from overuse. Many running injuries develop when small movement inefficiencies are repeated thousands of times during training. Over time, this can place excessive strain on muscles, tendons, and joints, gradually leading to pain, reduced performance, or recurring injury. We also offer
acupuncture
and
reflexology
as part of our comprehensive treatment approach to support recovery and improve overall movement efficiency.
Running assessment
Your consultation includes a detailed running injury assessment to understand the cause of your symptoms. This typically begins with a discussion of your injury history, training routine, and any previous problems. We then carry out a biomechanical assessment, which may include foot mechanics evaluation, strength testing, and mobility assessment. Analysing how your body moves allows us to identify imbalances or mechanical issues that may be contributing to injury, helping us develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Treatment and recovery support
Treatment is designed to address the underlying cause of the injury rather than only managing symptoms. Depending on your assessment findings, this may include osteopathic treatment, rehabilitation exercises, running technique advice, and strategies to help manage training load. Custom orthotics may also be recommended where appropriate to support foot mechanics. Our aim is to help runners recover safely, reduce the risk of recurring injury, and support long-term performance and confidence when returning to running.
