Running and Endurance Rehabilitation

Running and endurance rehabilitation at Physio Theory is designed for individuals dealing with recurring injuries, performance limitations, or difficulty tolerating training volume. Care focuses on identifying strength deficits, asymmetries, and load tolerance limitations that commonly contribute to persistent symptoms in runners and endurance athletes.

Rehabilitation is guided by a combination of clinical assessment and objective testing to support safe, consistent, and sustainable return to training.

Running and endurance rehabilitation may be used to address
Recurrent running related injuries
Shin pain and stress related symptoms
Achilles and calf issues
Knee, hip, or low back pain with running
Difficulty tolerating training volume or intensity
Performance plateaus or frequent flare ups

Care is individualized based on your training history, goals, and injury profile.

Assessment focuses on understanding how your body manages repetitive loading and fatigue. Depending on your presentation, this may include
Movement and mobility assessment
Strength and control testing
Single leg stability assessment
Balance and coordination testing
Objective performance testing when appropriate

Findings are used to identify factors contributing to injury risk or reduced performance.

Treatment is designed to improve tissue capacity, movement control, and resilience over time. This may include
Targeted strength and control exercises
Load management and training guidance
Movement retraining
Gradual progression of impact and intensity
Education around recovery and injury prevention

The goal is to support consistent training without recurrent breakdown.

When appropriate, running and endurance rehabilitation integrates performance testing and movement diagnostics to objectively assess asymmetries, force absorption, and fatigue response.

Objective data helps guide exercise selection, progression, and return to consistent training while reducing reliance on symptom based decisions alone.

Return to running and endurance sport is guided by objective readiness rather than time based milestones alone. Strength, control, and load tolerance are progressed systematically to reduce reinjury risk and improve confidence.

This approach supports long term durability rather than short term symptom relief.

Running and endurance rehabilitation is appropriate for
Recreational and competitive runners
Endurance athletes
Individuals returning to running after injury
Athletes with recurring overuse injuries
Active individuals struggling with training consistency

Running and endurance rehabilitation is offered as part of physiotherapy assessments and ongoing treatment programs at Physio Theory. Care is always tailored to your training demands and goals.
