Specialized Running Injury Clinic in the Heart of London
Located in Harley Street, Central London, ALO Physio provides elite-level rehabilitation for the running community. Whether you are a marathon veteran or a beginner experiencing your first “couch to 5K” setback, our specialist physiotherapists are dedicated to getting you back on the pavement safely and efficiently.
Most running injuries are categorized as overuse injuries, often stemming from a training error where the body is loaded beyond its current capacity. At ALO Physiotherapy, we don’t just treat the symptoms; we identify the root cause, be it biomechanical issues, sudden mileage increases, or lifestyle factors.
The Most Prevalent Running Injuries Are:
Our Harley Street team specializes in the diagnosis and management of:
-
Iliotibial Band Syndrome (Runner’s Knee): Lateral knee pain often caused by poor hip control or sudden hill training.
-
Achilles Tendinopathy: Stiffness and pain in the lower calf, common in high-mileage athletes.
-
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints): Critical to catch early to prevent stress fractures.
-
Plantar Heel Pain / Fasciopathy: Sharp pain under the foot, particularly during the first steps of the morning.
-
Hamstring Tendinopathy: Deep buttock pain that worsens during high-speed running or sitting.
-
Acute Muscle Strains: Calf, quad, or hamstring tears requiring immediate “POLICE” protocol and staged rehab.
There are many different variables that can contribute to a running injury.
- Personal factors such as age, gender, and height
- Running/training factors such as frequency, volume, and intensity
- Health and lifestyle-related factors such as the history of previous injury or obesity.
Your physiotherapist will assess you, diagnose the injury and then create the best possible treatment plan to get you back running safely as soon as possible.
Our 3-Step Return-to-Run Process
- Biomechanical Assessment & Running Gait Analysis: We utilize video technology to analyze your running form, cadence, and ground reaction forces to see why the injury occurred.
- Tailored Rehabilitation: A bespoke exercise program focused on loading the tissues correctly based on your specific Gait Analysis results.
- Graduated Return: We provide a structured “Return to Running” plan, ensuring your mechanics remain efficient as your mileage increases.
