Running physio · Richmond, Melbourne

Running physio,
by runners.

Shin splints, a sore Achilles, a knee that quits at 15km. We only treat runners, every one of our physios runs, and since 2013 we've got more than a thousand Melbourne runners back on the road.

  • 45 minutes, one-on-one with a physio who runs and knows your training language
  • A diagnosis and written plan, not a pre-booked block of twelve sessions
  • No referral needed. HICAPS on the spot, open Saturday mornings

Who we suit

Is HomeRun right for you?

We're physio for runners: a good fit if running is part of your life and something is getting in the way of it. Beginner or sub-three marathoner, road or trail, it doesn't matter.

It hurts when you run

Shin, knee, heel, Achilles, hip or back. Whether it's new or has been niggling for weeks, we'll work out what it is and what's causing it.

It keeps coming back

Rest fixes it, then it returns as soon as the kilometres go up. We look at the whole picture (load, strength, how you run) so it stays fixed.

You've got a race booked

parkrun, Run Melbourne, the marathon or a mountain ultra. We plan treatment around your race date, and we won't start by telling you to stop running.

You're coming back from a break

After surgery, a stress fracture, a baby or a long layoff, we build a week-by-week return-to-running plan so you get back without breaking down.

Other treatment hasn't worked

Seen a physio or two and you're still sore? Our senior physios offer second opinions. Bring your scans and notes.

You ride or tri as well

Ciclo, our bike-fit studio, is in the same building, so one team can look after your running and your riding together.

Not a running injury? Our sister clinic Evolutio Sports Physio is under the same roof and looks after everything else, from shoulders to desk-job backs.

Why HomeRun

A physio clinic full of runners.

Everyone on the team runs. Marathons (Jeroen's best is 2:32), trails, track, the odd ultra. So when you say your splits fell apart at 30km, or your calf tightens on the Tan, we know what you mean. We also read the British Journal of Sports Medicine papers you've half-read on Strava.

— 01

Running is all we've done since 2013

Thirteen years of runners has taught us how they get hurt, why the same injury keeps coming back, and what gets them running again. We write a lot of it down in our running journal.

— 02

We keep up with the research

Our rehab follows current load and tendon research rather than whatever's trending on Instagram this week. We work alongside sports doctors and follow Sports Medicine Australia and the International Association of Running Medicine.

— 03

45 minutes, one physio, one runner

Your first session is 45 minutes with the same physio the whole way through. We go over your training, watch how you move, treat what needs treating, and send you home with a written plan and a clear idea of when you'll be back running.

What we do

How we help runners.

First 5km or coming back from a DNF at UTMB, the process is the same. Find out what's wrong, settle it down, then build you back up to the running you want to do. More on our running physio services.

— 01 / Injury

Running injury assessment and treatment

45 minutes, from $185. A full running history, a look at how you move, hands on the sore bits, and a diagnosis and plan you understand. Where it helps, we'll watch you run and look at your running biomechanics to find what's driving the injury. You won't leave with a pre-booked block of twelve sessions.

Book an appointment →
— 02 / Return to run

Return-to-running programs

After an injury or surgery, we plan your way back week by week: strength, run-walk, then mileage, built around your goal race. That might be parkrun or the Melbourne Marathon.

— 03 / Second opinion

Second opinions

Been to a physio or two and it's still not right? Bring your scans and notes to a senior physio for a fresh look at what's going on and an honest view on what to do next.

Coming2027

New running assessments

In 2027 we're adding new running assessments to what we already do, for runners who want a detailed look at how they run (gait, biomechanics and running technique), injured or not. Until then, we assess your running as part of treating an injury.

Conditions we treat

Running injuries we treat.

If it hurts when you run, chances are we've seen it plenty. This is what walks (or limps) into the Richmond studio most weeks.

Foot & ankle

Plantar fasciitis

Heel pain that's worst in the first steps of the morning. Loading-based rehab, footwear advice, and clear progression timelines.

Foot & ankle

Achilles tendinopathy

Insertional and mid-portion. Heavy-slow resistance protocols and a structured return to hill running.

Lower leg

Shin splints (MTSS)

Is it bone or muscle? We work that out first, because getting the load right early can stop it becoming a stress fracture.

Lower leg

Calf strains & tears

Grade-specific rehab for soleus and gastrocnemius, with a return-to-tempo protocol that doesn't blow up six weeks in.

Knee

Runner's knee (PFP)

Pain around the kneecap, and the most common thing runners see us for. Hip and quad strength usually helps, and so does a tweak to cadence.

Knee & hip

ITB syndrome

Outside-of-knee pain that switches on at the same kilometre every run. We fix it with strength, cadence and a better long-run plan.

Hip & pelvis

Glute & proximal hamstring tendinopathy

Pain in the hip or sit bone on long runs and after sitting at a desk. A tendon-loading program that builds without flaring it up.

Bone stress

Stress fractures & reactions

Suspected stress injury? We screen, refer for imaging when needed, and manage your gradual return to running.

Back & core

Lumbar & SIJ pain

Lower back that lights up on long runs? We treat it as a running load problem, with a plan built around your training.

Book an appointment

Not on the list? If it hurts when you run, book in and we'll work out what's going on.

FAQs

Questions runners ask us.

Do I need a GP referral to book?

No. You can book online straight away. If your GP has given you an EPC Care Plan, you can claim a Medicare rebate. We have HICAPS for on-the-spot private health claims, and we accept WorkSafe Victoria, TAC and DVA Gold and White cards.

How long is the first appointment, and what does it cost?

Your first appointment is 45 minutes: $185 with Shirouz or Kelsi, or $235 with senior physios Jeroen, Bayden or Phill. Follow-ups are 30 minutes ($130 or $140). See the pricing section for the full breakdown.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

The shoes you run in most, shorts so we can see your knees and hips, and anything that shows your recent training, like your Strava or watch data. If you've had scans or seen another physio, bring the reports too.

I've already seen a physio and it's not getting better. Can you help?

Yes. Book a second opinion with Jeroen, Bayden or Phill. Bring any scans, reports and notes from previous treatment, and we'll go through it all and give you an honest view and a clear plan.

Do you do running assessments or gait analysis?

Right now we look at your running as part of treating an injury: if it helps us understand what's driving the problem, we'll watch you run in your appointment. In 2027 we're adding new standalone running assessments for runners who want one without an injury. You can register your interest by emailing info@evolutio.com.au.

Do you treat ultra and trail runners?

Yes, every distance, from a first parkrun to mountain ultras. Several of us race trail and ultra ourselves, so we won't start by telling you to run less.

I'm a triathlete. Can you help with the bike too?

Yes. Ciclo Melbourne, our bike-fit studio, is in the same building. Book a bike fit with a physio (from $275, claimable on most health funds) and the same team can plan your running and riding together.

Where is the clinic?

11/3 Bromham Place, Richmond VIC 3121, about an eight-minute walk from Richmond Station, with three client parks out front and free street parking. We share the space with Evolutio Sports Physio and Ciclo Melbourne, so look for the blue Evolutio sign at the entrance.

Sore when you run? Let's sort it.
