Common Running Injuries We Treat

Knee Pain in Runners

Knee pain is one of the most frequent issues during marathon training. This may involve patellofemoral pain, tendon overload or biomechanical inefficiency.

Typical symptoms include:

For a deeper explanation of knee conditions, visit our Knee Pain page.

We assess hip control, muscle strength and flexibility, cadence and training load before building a progressive rehabilitation plan.

Iliotibial Band Syndrome

IT band syndrome commonly presents as sharp pain on the outer knee, particularly during longer runs or downhill sections.

Contributing factors often include:

Many runners first present through our wider Sports Injuries service before progressing into a structured running rehabilitation plan.

Achilles Tendinopathy

Achilles pain frequently appears during speed sessions or increased weekly mileage.

Symptoms may include:

More information on lower limb conditions can be found on our Ankle & Foot Pain page.

Rehabilitation centres around progressive tendon loading and careful mileage adjustment rather than complete rest.

Training Load and Overuse Injuries

Most marathon injuries are load related rather than traumatic.

We help runners:

Strength training plays a key role in reducing recurrence risk. Many runners integrate our Strength & Mobility Classes alongside individual rehabilitation.

Post Marathon Recovery & Rehabilitation

Completing a marathon places substantial stress on joints, tendons and muscle tissue.

Common post race issues include:

Where appropriate, we may combine rehabilitation with recovery based treatments such as Massage Therapy.

If surgery has previously been involved, for example ACL reconstruction, our Pre and Post Operation service provides structured progression support.
