I have knee pain when running. Can HomeRun Running Physio help with runner's knee?

Absolutely! Runner's knee is one of the most common complaints we see. Our specialised running physios in Melbourne excel at diagnosing the root cause of your knee pain, whether it's related to biomechanics, training load, or muscle imbalances. We'll develop a tailored plan to get you back on track pain-free.

What should I do if I experience shin splints after my runs?

Shin splints can be incredibly frustrating for runners. At HomeRun Running Physio, we'll assess your running form, footwear, and training history to understand why you're developing shin splints. We'll then provide targeted exercises, load management strategies, and advice to resolve the pain and prevent its return, helping you run comfortably in Melbourne and beyond.

How can physiotherapy help with plantar fasciitis for runners?

Plantar fasciitis can severely impact your running. Our approach involves a thorough assessment of your foot mechanics, calf strength, and running gait. We use a combination of manual therapy, specific exercises, and education to alleviate your heel pain and build resilience in your feet, getting you back to enjoyable running in Melbourne.

Running Performance & Prevention

Not at all! While we're experts in injury recovery, many runners visit HomeRun Running Physio for injury prevention and performance enhancement. We offer running assessments and strength and conditioning programs designed to optimise your running efficiency, reduce injury risk, and help you achieve new personal bests.

What is a running assessment, and why is it beneficial?

A comprehensive running assessment at HomeRun Running Physio Melbourne involves analysing your running form through video gait analysis, assessing your strength, flexibility, and movement patterns. This helps us identify inefficiencies or imbalances that could lead to injury or limit performance, providing a roadmap for improvement. It's a fantastic proactive step for any runner in Melbourne.

Can you help me improve my running technique?

Yes! Our expert running physios are skilled in running gait analysis. We'll work with you to identify areas for improvement in your technique, helping you run more efficiently and reduce the load on vulnerable areas, ultimately making you a stronger, more resilient runner.

How can strength and conditioning benefit my running?

Strength and conditioning are vital for runners! Our personalised programs target key muscle groups to improve power, endurance, and stability, directly translating to better running performance and reduced injury risk. We'll show you exactly what to do to become a more robust runner.
