Are you suffering from recurrent injuries as a result of your running?
The running gait is a complex multi joint movement meaning there are many variables to take into consideration and unfortunately where there are many joints involved there is the increased potential for injury
At SJC Physiotherapy we provide specialist eyes to determine what your limitations are and why your suffering from recurrent running relates injuries.
This service includes the following
- Running Gait Analysis
- Lower limb Strength Assessment
- Mobility testing (Active joint ranges)
- Flexibility testing (passive joint ranges)
From here we will determine the potential causation for your problems and begin to strength / retrain as indicated to make you a more efficient, pain free runner
- Falls Prevention and Balance Training
There are multiple systems throughout the body which help us with balance and coordination such as , muscle strength , reflexes , vision , proprioception and vestibular. Unfortunately as we age these systems gradually deteriorate which if not challenged puts us at a great risk of falling
This is a big problem in the community / older population and can lead to traumatic injuries as a result of falling; such as fractured hips and wrists. This can leave you with ongoing pain, reduced mobility, fear around falling and lacking confidence.
If you feel you or a family member has a reduction in their balance and or mobility then don’t wait for a fall before doing something about it! Preventative is better than curative!
At SJC we provide a comprehensive falls and balance assessment using recognised balance outcome measures. Once fully assess we will implement a bespoke rehabilitation programme to address the individuals needs to help keep them mobilising safely for longer.
