Running Clinic
Running may seem like the most natural thing in the world and not something we give much thought to. A lot us of us might not even be aware of how we run. But did you know that running is actually a skill, which can be refined, developed and improved?
The way that we run can affect our performance; if we don’t move as efficiently as possible then we may use up energy unnecessarily. Our running technique can also be a factor in picking up an injury because poor movement can place excessive strain on our joints and soft tissues. Running is also a form of activity that is quite forceful. Our body’s strength and flexibility can influence how we deal with these forces and affect how well we move. Having an understanding of these factors will mean you get more out of your running. Our physio team have vast experience in managing runners of all levels and abilities, from those just starting out on a couch to 5k, to elite international athletes, and as a result we are suitably placed to assess all your running needs. Our aim is to make you a better, faster and more robust runner. To facilitate this, here at Life Fit Wellness we have developed a clinic tailor made to examine all aspects related to your running.
So if you are new to running and keen to get some guidance on the best way forward, an experienced runner with a desire to improve or a runner who seems to be picking up injuries regularly, then our Running Clinic might be suitable for you. Within the Running Clinic there are a 3 options to choose from.
