Running Injuries
Running is a fantastic way to stay fit, but it also puts repetitive stress on the body.
Repetitive movement during running can often lead to a range of common injuries. At our clinic, we regularly treat both novice and competitive runners, helping them recover from and prevent these issues. Below are some of the most frequent running-related injuries we see daily.
Stop struggling and let’s get your injury better managed, allowing you to continue with your running commitments.

Common Injuries
Associated With Running
Lower Back Pain
Fairly common in runners — usually comes down to biomechanics, weakness, or training load rather than a serious spinal problem.
Glute Weakness / Bursitis
The gluteal muscles are key for hip stability and lower-limb alignment. Inflammation of the bursa over the greater trochanter causes outer hip pain.
Glute Weakness / Bursitis
The gluteal muscles are key for hip stability and lower-limb alignment. Inflammation of the bursa over the greater trochanter causes outer hip pain.
Hamstring Strain
A tear in one or more of the hamstring muscles (biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus) at the back of the thigh.
Quadricep Strain
Partial or complete tearing of one or more quad muscles — most commonly the rectus femoris — at the front of the thigh.
Runner's Knee (PFPS)
Patellofemoral pain syndrome — irritation around or behind the kneecap where it meets the thigh bone (femur).
ITB Syndrome
Inflammation of the iliotibial band where it repeatedly rubs over the outside of the knee (lateral femoral condyle).
Shin Splints
Medial tibial stress syndrome — pain along the front or inner edge of the shinbone, often linked to overtraining or hard surfaces.
Calf Strain
A tear in one of the calf muscles. Very common in runners and sports involving sudden acceleration or jumping.
Achilles Tendinopathy
A common overuse injury of the Achilles tendon — especially seen when training load increases suddenly.
Plantar Fasciitis
The most common cause of heel pain in runners — inflammation of the plantar fascia along the base of the foot.
Morton's Neuroma
A common cause of forefoot pain in runners — thickening of tissue around the nerve between the toes, causing sharp or burning pain.
