Is it normal to experience pain after a run? 🤔

The answer is... sometimes.

A little muscle soreness after a challenging run is completely normal. But persistent, sharp, or worsening pain isn’t something you should ignore.

What to Wear to Your Physio Appointment 👕✨

Heading to your first physio session? Wearing the right clothing can make your assessment and treatment more comfortable and effective.

✔️ Choose comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move easily.
✔️ Wear shorts if you’re coming in for a knee, hip, or ankle injury.
✔️ A vest or sleeveless top is ideal for shoulder or upper back concerns.
✔️ Supportive trainers are recommended if your assessment includes walking or exercise.
✔️ Avoid restrictive clothing or lots of jewellery that may get in the way.

The easier it is to access the area being treated, the more time we can spend helping you move and feel better.

Have questions before your appointment? We’re happy to help—just get in touch! 💙

What happens at your first appointment?

1: Initial Chat 💬
We start by getting to know you. We’ll discuss your symptoms, when they started, what makes them better or worse, your medical history, and your goals. This helps us understand the root cause of your problem and create a treatment plan that’s tailored to you.

2: Physical Assessment & Hands-On Treatment 👐
Next, we’ll assess how you move, your strength, flexibility, balance, and any areas of pain or stiffness. If appropriate, we may use hands-on techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, or stretching to help reduce pain and improve movement.

3: Personalised Exercise Plan 💪
You’ll be shown exercises that are specific to your condition and goals. We’ll make sure you feel confident performing them correctly and explain how they will help your recovery.

4: Review & Next Steps ✅
Before you leave, we’ll recap what we’ve found, answer any questions, and discuss your treatment plan going forward. You’ll know what to expect, how often to do your exercises, and when to book your next appointment if needed.
