We see more Running injuries than anything else. Running is such a popular activity, can be done by anyone and is a great way to start your exercise journey if you haven’t done much for a while.
The main cause of running injuries is an imbalance between your Physical Capacity and your Physical demands.
In simple terms, if your demands are too great (too much too soon), or your capacity is too low (change in diet, sleep, stress, recent illness), then the ability of your tissues to cope with the demands of running is overwhelmed and you will be at risk of an injury.
Typically, these are very easily managed. If we understand your demands, and your capacity, we can settle your symptoms and provide you with a more appropriate training plan that allows you to excel.
Running through pain, or simply treating the injury site, isn’t necessarily going to improve your ability to cope with the demands.
Myth Buster: Running is NOT bad for your knees. Studies have actually proven that Road Running can reverse the effects of Osteoarthritis in Knees in a lot of Runners!
Sam is an outstanding physiotherapist! He truly takes the time to listen to your concerns and understand your needs. Thank you Sam for getting me up and running again! 🙂

When I approached Worcester Physiotherapy Clinic I had pulled my hamstring on a 10K and I was feeling sorry for myself. Chloe immediately identified the severity of my problem, designed some exercises to help my recovery and measured my improvement over the recovery period. What was brilliant for me as an older runner is she assessed the state of my overall leg strength and advised me of exercises to keep me injury free as I return to running. If you are an older runner or getting back into running I would recommend you book an appointment and whether you have an injury or not I would use Worcester Physiotherapy Clinic to help you stay injury free and enjoy your running.

I've been very satisfied with my treatment by Ryan for my ankle problems.
The service has been fully in-line with what is said on the website: i.e. Transparent and honest with a thorough assessment before starting treatment and a focus on "fixing the problem, and not just making it feel better."

Ryan has been amazing throughout the whole process of getting me back to running.
From diagnosing the problem, through creating and adapting a rehabilitation plan that worked for me, his knowledge and understanding of the issue has been great!
He got me round my first marathon which when I first went to see him I didn’t think was going to happen.
If you’ve got an injury get yourself booked in here you won’t regret it!
Thanks again Ryan for the expertise and support!

I made an appointment to see Ryan following a delibitating skiing injury and have received a long an intensive programme of rehabilitation focusing on my desire to return to running (and skiing) again, which at times was something I never though would be possible.
I have seen many different physios during my sporting career, but Ryans approach to rehab "clicked" for me as it was based on demonstrating measurable improvements; his support and reassurance was invaluable and helped to keep me positive when I was feeling low and frustrated.
Whilst it has taken a long time to recover, his treatment has enabled me to avoid surgery and I am now running again and will be skiing this season.

I came to Worcester Physiotherapy Clinic after experiencing severe knee pain within the first few minutes of running. After a few sessions with Chloe, and following her advice, my knee pain when running has completely gone and I’m back to my normal weekly mileage. My legs are stronger and I have learned to incorporate gym work into my weekly training. Thanks a lot Chloe!
