Running Pain? Find Relief With a Physiotherapy Approach

Newport, Australia – November 14, 2025 / Alpha Sports Medicine & Osteopathy – Newport /

Build Strength and Confidence While Running

Running injuries can disrupt your routine, whether you’re training for a marathon or enjoying casual runs. Alpha Sports Medicine provides comprehensive support for runners, combining assessment, movement analysis, and targeted strategies to help minimise pain and improve performance. Our approach focuses on identifying weak points, correcting movement patterns, and building strength to reduce the chance of future setbacks. With a focus on recovery and sustainable progress, our team ensures runners regain confidence and mobility safely. For anyone looking to maintain an active lifestyle while addressing running discomfort, Alpha Sports Medicine is a trusted choice for physiotherapy Newport, helping runners move comfortably and confidently.

Running is one of the most accessible and rewarding forms of exercise, but it’s also one of the most common sources of overuse injuries we see at Alpha Sports Medicine. Whether you’re a casual runner training for your first 5K or preparing for your next marathon, the repetitive nature of running means that small imbalances can lead to pain or injury over time.

That’s where expert running physiotherapy makes all the difference.

Common Running Injuries

Our Sports Physio regularly sees runners with:

Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome): Dull ache around or behind the kneecap, often worse with stairs or hills.
ITB Syndrome: Pain on the outside of the knee or thigh that worsens with repetitive flexion.
Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome): Sharp or aching pain along the inner edge of the shin.
Achilles Tendinopathy: Pain or stiffness in the back of the ankle, especially with first steps in the morning.
Plantar Fasciitis: Heel or arch pain that’s worse after rest or in the morning.
Hamstring or Calf Strains: Sudden pain during sprints, hill runs, or acceleration phases.

Each of these conditions has different causes, but most are linked to load management, muscle weakness, or subtle movement inefficiencies.
