Runner’s Therapy Session
Targeted sports therapy for runners of every level
Whether you’re training for a marathon, building distance, or simply running to stay healthy, the body develops predictable patterns of tension, restriction, and compression.
Runner’s Assesment: What We Check & Why It Matters
Our Runner Asssessment is a fast, targeted screening designed to identify these patterns before treatment – ensuring your massage is presice, informed, and specific to your running style.
This assessment is included free with every Runner’s Performance Session.
Why We Assess Runners Differently
Running involves the same movement repeated thousands of times. Small restictions or imbalances quickly become:
- tight calves
- overworked hamstrings
- hip instability
- IT band disconnect
- lower-back fatigue
- reduced stride efficiency
- plantar fasciitis
- ankle stiffness
What’s Included
- Free 5-minute runner assessment. Quick screening: gait, foot pressure, pelvic tilt, hip mobility, ankle dorsiflexion, muscle tone, foot inspection
- Focused sports therapy massage (45 minutes) Calves, hamstrings, glutes, quads, IT band, plantar fascia – tailored to your assessment findings
- Precision techniques. Trigger point release, deep tissue, assissted stretch work as needed
- Performance benefits. Improved stride efficiency, reduced tightness, better postural balance, and lower risk of repetitive-strain injuries
- Recovery guidance. Simple post-run mobility or strengthening advice to support your training plan
Your treatment is then tailored to rebalance these areas
How The Assessment Shapes Your Treatment
The information gathered in the pre-assessment allows for:
- more accurate pressure and technique choices
- focused work on dysfunction rather than ‘general tightness’
- smarter sequencing (e.g., glutes first, calves second)
- improved outcomes for speed, stride, efficiency, and recovery
- safer treatment for higher-volume runners
This is sports therapy adapted to the real mechanics of cycling
Perfect For
- Road runners
- Trail runners
- Marathon & ultra athletes
- Casual runners wanting to stay pain free
Common Findings In Runners
- Over-reliance on calf and hamstring power
- Underactive glutes
- Tight hip flexors reducing stride efficiency
- Knee collapse nder load
- Limited ankle dorsiflexion
- Asymmetrical leg dominance
Every session becomes more efficient because it is built around your mechanics, not a generic routine
