Benefits of Our Running Injury Treatment
Targeted Diagnosis and Treatment
Our physiotherapists conduct a thorough assessment of your condition to provide an accurate diagnosis. Whether it's hip microinstability or knee osteoarthritis, we identify the specific problem causing your discomfort and tailor our treatment to your unique needs.
Advanced Healing Techniques
At Sydney Muscle & Joint Clinic, we rely on the latest research and evidence-based methods to guide your recovery. We use mechanotransduction, a process where applying mechanical load, such as exercise, stimulates cellular healing. By incorporating this advanced method into our treatments, we encourage your body to heal faster and more effectively.
Comprehensive Recovery Plan
​
We don't just focus on short-term pain relief. Our goal is to strengthen your body so you're less prone to future foot injuries from running. Through a combination of low-load exercises, joint mobilisations, and a dynamic jumping program, we increase tissue capacity and help you regain full mobility.
How Our Treatment Works
Step 1: We Settle the Injured Tissue Down
When you first come to us with a running injury, our priority is to reduce your pain. We use low-load exercises, such as running-specific isometric contractions, to activate healing without aggravating your injury. Combined with joint mobilisations and soft tissue work, we focus on calming the pain quickly.
Step 2: We Rebuild the Injured Tissue
Once your pain is managed, we shift focus to strengthening the affected area. We incorporate heavy slow resistance exercises along with dynamic mobility exercises to build tissue tolerance and improve your resilience. This step helps you regain the strength needed to return to running safely.
Step 3: We Administer the Land-Jump-Hop Program
Our land-jump-hop program is a key part of our recovery approach. It's simple but effective: if you can't land properly, you can't jump; if you can't jump, you can't hop; and if you can't hop, you can't run. By guiding you through a graded progression of land, jump, and hop exercises, we help you regain the coordination and strength necessary to resume running.
Why We Don't Support Stretching and Foam Rolling
Research shows that stretching and foam rolling are ineffective for foot injuries from running, and we agree. Find out more here:

Our Approach to The Treatment of Running Injuries
At Sydney Muscle & Joint Clinic our approach to running injuries focus on two simple but highly effective theories:
​
1. Mechanotransduction
Refers to the processes through which cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli by converting them to biochemical signals that elicit specific cellular healing. Simply put - if you add load (exercise) you stimulate healing process.
​
2. Land-jump-hop
If you can't land, you can't jump. If you can't jump you can't hop. If you can't hop you can't run.

Settle the injured tissue down
We immediately use low load exercise to stimulate cellular healing - these include running specific isometric contractions, coupled with joint mobilisations, soft tissue work we aim to reduce irritable pain as soon as possible.
Build the injured tissue up
Heavy slow resistance exercises are then incorporated with dynamic mobility exercises to increase capacity, tissue tolerance & resilience. We use aged-related data to make sure you stay on top of the rep range required.
Integration of a well researched jumping program
Simple but effective. If you can't land, you can't jump. If you can't jump you can't hop. If you can't hip you can't run. Our graded land-jump-hop program gets you running sooner.
