Are your running shoes doing more harm than good? 👟

Unsupportive or poorly fitting footwear is one of the most common, and most preventable, contributors to running injuries.

Wearing the wrong shoes for your foot type or running style can place extra stress on your feet, ankles, knees and hips over time. This can lead to a range of issues including shin splints, knee pain, plantar fasciitis and stress injuries that sideline you from training.

At West Lakes Physio, we can help assess your movement, identify any contributing factors to your pain or injury, and guide you in the right direction — including whether your footwear could be part of the problem.

Don't let the wrong shoes hold you back from running your best.

Did you know physiotherapy can help relieve pain without the need for painkillers? 💡

Rather than just managing symptoms, physiotherapy aims to identify and address the root cause of your pain , whether that's a muscle imbalance, joint restriction, movement issue or injury.

Through hands-on treatment, targeted exercise and education, physio can help reduce pain, restore function and improve your quality of life in a way that lasts.

At West Lakes Physio, we take the time to understand what's driving your pain and build a plan to help you feel better naturally.

If you've been putting up with pain or relying on medication to get through the day, it may be time to explore what physio can do for you.

Do you lift weights or train regularly and have been noticing a gradual ache in your biceps or front of your shoulder? 🤔
It could be Biceps Tendinopathy; a common overuse injury among weightlifters that often starts subtly and builds over time if left unaddressed.
Pain typically develops gradually and can affect your ability to train, lift, or even perform everyday tasks comfortably. The key to recovering well is getting the right balance of rest combined with a targeted exercise program to restore strength and function to the tendon.
At West Lakes Physio, we regularly help people manage and recover from tendon injuries so they can get back to training and moving well long-term.
If this sounds familiar, it may be worth getting it assessed sooner rather than later.
