Can Physiotherapy Help My Running Pain?
With the beautiful weather we are now seeing in Okotoks, running related injuries begin to pour into the clinic as novice to experienced runners begin returning outdoors.
Anytime runners change their running surface, distance, or environment, injuries tend to occur. Hip, knee, achilles, and foot pain become frequent symptoms that can quickly put a damper on the summer running season.
If you are beginning to feel any pain either during or after running, you are at risk for developing an overuse injury to your leg muscles, achilles tendon, or plantar fascia. If not addressed quickly, these injuries can develop into long term injuries that require more then a few weeks of rehab.
If you are experiencing any pain with your running, we recommend visiting one of our Physical Therapists to evaluate your symptoms and create an action plan to prevent your pain from turing into a season long running injury. Don't delay, call MOMENTUM Physical Therapy in Okotoks today. 403-982-5600
