Help for runners in Victoria
Most running injuries come from doing a bit too much, too soon: more distance, more hills or more speed than your body was ready for. Our team treats the injury and looks for the cause, from strength and form to footwear and training load, so you can get back to running and stay there. Many of our practitioners are runners too.

Running injury FAQs
Do I have to stop running while I recover?
Often not. Many injuries can be managed by adjusting your distance and pace. We’ll tell you what’s safe.
What happens in a gait analysis?
You run on a treadmill while we film you from several angles. We review the video with you and suggest changes to form, footwear or training.
When should I see someone about a running injury?
If pain changes how you run, lasts more than a few days, or keeps coming back, it’s worth an assessment.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly, and we bill most extended health plans directly.
