How’s Your Running Form?

Running is quite often seen as a good way to get in shape, with little thought given to the proper form or biomechanics involved.

Recent studies have shown that as many as 79% of runners will suffer from a running related injury in any year. Therefore all runners should be aware of the ways in which poor form can contribute to these injuries.

Further research has shown that real time feedback through audio and visual cues can help a runner to improve common issues at the hips, knees and ankles and in turn reduce the likelihood of a running related injury.

If you’re thinking about getting into running make an appointment now with one of our physiotherapists or exercise physiologists now for an assessment and recommendations.
