Running Injury Physiotherapy & Gait Analysis - Sydney
If you're a runner based in Sydney's Inner West - from Leichhardt, Annandale, Balmain, or beyond - Atlas Physiotherapy offers detailed running assessments and evidence-based injury management to get you back training safely.
Most running injuries are not caused by a single incident but by a mismatch between your body’s capacity and the demands of running. Injuries often develop when training volume, intensity, or terrain increases faster than tissues can tolerate. Running technique, stride mechanics, footwear, recovery habits, and individual resilience all influence injury risk.
Common running-related injuries
Achilles tendinopathy
Anterior (front) knee pain
Plantar heel pain
Shin splints
Calf, hamstring, or quadriceps strains
Back, hip or knee pain
Stress reactions or stress fractures
