Expert Care for Running Injuries
Running injuries can disrupt training, performance, and daily life. At Narrow Gate Physiotherapy, we specialise in diagnosing, treating, and preventing running injuries so you can return to running stronger and pain-free.
Our physiotherapists understand the unique demands of runners at every level.
Common Running Injuries
Running injuries often develop from overuse, biomechanical issues, or training errors. Common conditions include:
- Runner’s knee
- Shin splints
- Achilles tendinopathy
- IT band syndrome
- Plantar fasciitis
Without proper treatment, minor pain can progress into long-term injury.
