Can you say Pilates?

Congratulations to Campbell College and Team and Arches Physiotherapist John Quigg on winning the Schools' Cup!

As we're coming in to the running season we're now starting to see more lower limb tendon injuries. Here are 3 tips to help our runners out there: Tip 1-Tendons have a load capacity. If you exceed this load capacity you'll have a painful response. Taking this in to account; make sure you don't increase mileage, tempo or gradient too dramatically from week to week. Tip 2-Wear a supportive shoe. Many runners know this already, but overpronation at the foot increases the risk of lower limb injuries. If you take the achilles tendon as an example, a fallen arch will put more stress through the tendon. Tip 3-Get STRONG! Resistance training is a bit of a dirty word in running but it shouldn't be. We guarantee that ALL Olympic distance runners do lower limb strengthening. It will make you more explosive, more economical in your running and increase the load capacity of your tendons and muscles. If you're unfamiliar with strengthening, we'd recommend our Pilates classes where you'll be under the guidance of a Chartered Physiotherapist who is also trained in Pilates. Questions?
