Physiotherapy for Running Injuries in Narangba

Running is one of the most accessible and rewarding forms of exercise — but it’s also a sport with a high rate of overuse injuries. At Rehab Sphere, we help recreational and competitive runners recover from pain, improve performance, and prevent future setbacks.

Whether you’re training for a marathon, enjoying weekend parkruns, or just starting your fitness journey, we’ll help you get back on track. 

Common Running Injuries We Treat

Running injuries often develop gradually, with warning signs that can be easy to ignore. The most common include:

  • Runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain) – pain around or behind the kneecap, especially on hills or stairs.

  • ITB syndrome – irritation on the outer side of the knee.

  • Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome) – aching or sharp pain along the shinbone.

  • Achilles tendinopathy – stiffness or pain at the back of the ankle.

  • Plantar fasciitis – heel pain, especially in the morning.

  • Hamstring strains – sudden sharp pain or tightness at the back of the thigh.

Causes of Running Injuries

While every runner’s situation is unique, common contributing factors include:

  • Rapid increases in training load or mileage

  • Poor running technique or biomechanics

  • Inadequate recovery between runs

  • Weakness or imbalance in key muscle groups

  • Unsupportive footwear or worn-out shoes

  • Running on uneven or cambered surfaces

    Our assessment process identifies exactly which of these factors may be contributing to your pain.

How we assess Running Injuries

At Rehab Sphere, our assessment is more than just a quick check-up:

  1. Detailed history – training patterns, footwear, injury history, and lifestyle.

  2. Movement analysis – strength, flexibility, and control of key joints and muscles.

  3. Gait assessment – optional video analysis of your running technique.

  4. Diagnosis & plan – a clear explanation of what’s going on and how we’ll fix it.

Treatment for Running Injuries

Our treatments are tailored to your injury, goals, and running style. They may include:

  • Hands-on physiotherapy to reduce pain and restore mobility.

  • Targeted strength & stability programs for key running muscles.

  • Gait retraining to improve technique and reduce injury risk.

  • Load management – adjusting your running schedule for optimal recovery.

  • Footwear advice tailored to your running style and terrain.

  • Personalised strength & conditioning plans

  • Gradual training progressions

  • Mobility and warm-up routines for runners
