RUN: Better, Faster, Longer, Stronger
Running injuries are a very common occurrence with 82% of runners getting injured, with 50% getting injured every year, so with these statistics in mind, it makes sense to include injury prevention into your training schedule. Over the last 4 years at Weaver Physio, we have treated hundreds of runners and during the subjective screening process, many factors have stood out that probably contribute to getting injured. These include:


1. Runners surviving on just a recipe of running, with no injury prevention tailored into their training schedule.
2. Not conditioned / strong enough to start running, or be able to tolerate the stresses running places on the human body
3. Long hours spent sitting during the day.
4. Poor or lack of warming up and cooling down properly
5. People following people (lack of focus or vision) of their own needs


When we first start to run, certainly as a child, it’s an autonomous activity and we are never really taught that it’s a skill that needs to be practiced, where as golfers, high jumpers, swimmers, tennis players spend lots of time improving the technical aspect of their sport, so why not running? Many runners run aimlessly with no real structure which often leads to injury and sub-optimal performance. As quoted by the famous Frank Dick “To build strength is pointless if your technical foundation is poor. First be technically sound, then build strength for effective performance”.

1. Runners MOT

The Runners MOT running screening assessment includes a full body video gait analysis along with a series of specific tests to highlight any muscle imbalances.

A kinesiological evaluation which evaluates the structural components of the performing runner is conducted.

The evaluation will look for
1. Flexibility imbalances
2. Strength imbalances
3. Alignment - structural imbalances
4. Biomechanical imbalances

Specific exercises are then prescribed to address any imbalances found during the evaluation. Weaver Physio proactively help runners recover and prevent injuries!

All runners receive a Runners rehabilitation & injury prevention pack and a FREE 3 month follow up gait analysis.

A 1hr evaluation costs £60
