Running is a great way to stay healthy and active, but it can also put a lot of stress on your body. Over time, this can increase your risk of developing running injuries.

One way to reduce your risk of injury is to understand your running habits. This includes things like your distance, intensity, and running form. If you're not sure where to start, a podiatrist can help you assess your biomechanics and identify any areas of concern.

A podiatrist can also provide orthotics, which are devices that can be placed in your shoes to help improve your running form and reduce your risk of injury. In addition, a podiatrist can teach you how to make adjustments to your running form to reduce pain and improve your efficiency.

Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or just starting out, a podiatric assessment can be beneficial. Here are some of the specific benefits of seeing our running specialist, Ryan, for an injury assessment:

• Identify and address potential biomechanical issues that could be contributing to your injury.
• Receive custom orthotics to help improve your running form and reduce your risk of further injury.
• Be prescribed stretching and strengthening exercises to improve your muscle strength.
• Learn how to make adjustments to your running form to reduce pain and improve your efficiency.

If you're concerned about your risk of running injuries, or if you're already experiencing pain, don't hesitate to see our running expert, Ryan. 

He can help you stay healthy and enjoy your running for years to come.
