Knee, ankle & running injuries

Diagram illustrating the stages of the running gait cycle, including heel strike, midstance, toe-off, and swing, with labels and notes on where knee, shin, and ankle load occurs.

Most running and lower-limb pain doesn't come from where it hurts — it comes from how you move. We assess gait and biomechanics before we treat, so your plan targets the actual cause, not just the sore spot.

WHAT WE TREAT

Lower Limb Conditions We See Every Week

  • Pain around or behind the kneecap, often worse on stairs, hills, or after long runs. Usually a loading and tracking issue, not a structural one.

  • Twist or impact-related knee injuries, including pre- and post-operative rehab to rebuild strength and confidence in the joint.

  • Aching or sharp pain along the shin bone, common with a sudden increase in running volume or a change in surface.

  • Stiffness or pain at the back of the heel, particularly first thing in the morning or at the start of a run.

  • Heel or arch pain that's sharpest with the first steps of the day — one of the most common running-related complaints we treat.

  • From a fresh rolled ankle to a joint that's felt "unstable" since an old injury that never fully rehabbed.
