As a London Marathon injury clinic, we have seen hundreds of patients with running related injuries. Almost without exception they can be avoided, but unfortunately by the time patients get to us they already have symptoms. At West London Physiotherapy we have a fully equipped running lab with video analysis and pressure plate scanning (Gaitscan TM) enabling us to conduct a frame by frame analysis of your running in order to locate specific weaknesses or deficiencies that cause your pain.
IN addition to a thorough physical examination we can provide you with an accurate diagnosis of the problem and begin on the appropriate injury specific treatment. Where-ever possible we do our best to keep you running and often use taping techniques or in-shoe orthotics to enable you to continue running while you complete your rehabilitation.
Common running injuries that we see are:
- ITB friction syndrome (Runners knee) – we are widely regarded as specialists in this injury
- Patello-femoral maltracking
- Fat-pad impingement
- Shin splints
- Achilles tendonopathy
- Plantar fasciitis
- Stress fractures
