🏃‍♀️ Hip pain doesn't have to mean the end of your run.

Whether you're training for your next event, building up your weekly kilometres, or just getting started with running, hip pain can quickly take the fun out of it.

You might notice:

- Pain during or after a run
- Tightness or stiffness through the hips or glutes
- Discomfort when going up hills or increasing your training load
- Niggling aches that keep coming back no matter how much you stretch

The good news? Pain isn't something you simply have to push through.

At Weston Creek Physiotherapy, we take the time to understand what's contributing to your hip pain. Running injuries are rarely a "one size fits all" problem, which is why we'll assess your movement, strength, training habits & running goals to create a plan that's right for you.

Our physiotherapists can help you:

- Manage pain & irritation
- Improve strength, mobility & running efficiency
- Reduce your risk of ongoing injuries
- Stay on track with your training goals
- Get back to doing what you love with confidence

👟 Heel pain ruining your runs? Let's get you back on track.

That sharp pain when you take your first few steps in the morning... or the ache that builds as the kilometres add up... isn't something you have to "just live with."

Heel pain is common in runners, whether you're training for your first 5km, tackling the Boston Marathon, preparing for a marathon, or simply enjoying weekend runs around Canberra.

Some common causes include:
👣 Plantar fasciopathy (often called plantar fasciitis)
👣 Achilles tendon pain
👣 Overloaded calf muscles
👣 Changes in training, footwear or running volume

The sooner you address heel pain, the better your chances of staying active without it becoming a long-term issue.

At Weston Creek Physiotherapy, we'll help you:
✅ Understand what's causing your pain
✅ Reduce pain & improve recovery
✅ Build strength & resilience
✅ Create a plan that keeps you running toward your goals

🏃 Whether you're chasing a personal best or just want to enjoy your next run pain-free, we're here to help.

📅 Book an assessment with our physiotherapy team & let's keep Canberra running—one step at a time.

🏃‍♀️ Runner's Knee slowing you down? It doesn't have to.

Pain around the front of your knee during or after a run isn't something you should just "push through." It could be Runner's Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome) – one of the most common running injuries.

Common signs include:
🔹 Pain around or behind the kneecap
🔹 Pain when running downhill or downstairs
🔹 Discomfort after sitting for long periods
🔹 Knee pain that flares up during or after a run

The good news? In many cases, Runner's Knee responds really well to physiotherapy.

At Weston Creek Physiotherapy, we'll assess why your knee is hurting—not just where it hurts. We'll help you understand the cause, reduce pain & build a personalised plan to keep you running stronger.

🏅 Training for the City2Surf or another upcoming event? Now is the perfect time to get on top of niggles before they become bigger problems.

📅 Book your assessment today & let us help you stay on track with your running goals.
