🔍 What I Saw in Clinic This Week

“I’ve stopped running because I don’t want to make it worse.”

It’s something I hear all the time.

This runner had developed pain around the outside of the hip and assumed complete rest was the answer. They’d avoided running for several weeks, hoping it would settle.

The problem?

The pain hadn’t improved.

After assessing them, we found that running itself wasn’t the main issue. The problem was that the tissues weren’t coping with the amount of load they were being asked to do.

Instead of telling them to stop, we worked out how much running they could comfortably tolerate, alongside a strength programme to improve their capacity.

The goal isn’t always to stop doing what you love.

Often it’s about finding the right amount, at the right time, while helping your body become stronger.

Pain doesn’t always mean damage.
Rest isn’t always the answer.
And getting back to sport is rarely all or nothing.

That’s why every rehabilitation programme is tailored to the individual, not just the injury.

Your GO-TO for running injuries 🏃‍♀️

As a runner myself, I understand how frustrating injury can be, and how important it is to return to running safely and confidently. I’ve experienced injury, rehabilitation and the gradual process of rebuilding my own running.

Running has been a big part of my life. I’m a member of Perth Road Runners, a former parkrun Run Director, a Scottish Athletics qualified Leader in Running Fitness (LiRF), and the creator of Tay Run Club which was established to help more people get moving.

I assess what may be contributing to your symptoms, including training load, changes in distance or intensity, strength, movement and previous injury history.

Your individual plan may include:

*Managing your running load without unnecessarily stopping
*Targeted strength and conditioning
*Treatment to help manage symptoms where appropriate
*A progressive return-to-running programme
*Guidance on rebuilding distance, pace and confidence

Whether you’re working towards your first 5K, training for an event or simply want to run without pain, the aim isn’t just to settle your symptoms, it’s to prepare your body for the demands of running again.

Assessment. Rehabilitation. Return to running.

⚽️ Not every football team has access to a dedicated therapist.

That can leave players unsure about what they have injured, whether it is safe to continue playing and what they need to do to return properly.

As Pitch-side Sports Therapist at Scone Thistle Football Club , I understand the demands of football and what is required to progress a player from initial injury through rehabilitation and back to training and match play.

At Tay Sports Therapy, I offer:

⚽️ Detailed injury assessment and clinical reasoning
⚽️ Strength, movement and functional testing
⚽️ Clear explanation of the likely injury
⚽️ Advice on modifying training without stopping unnecessarily
⚽️ Progressive, individual rehabilitation
⚽️ Return-to-running and football-specific loading
⚽️ Criteria-based return-to-training and match play
⚽️ Referral for imaging or further medical assessment when indicated

Treatment is only one part of the process. The aim is to restore the strength, capacity and confidence needed to meet the demands of football, not simply wait until the pain settles.

If your club doesn’t have its own therapist, I can help you manage your injury and guide your return to the pitch.
