Running is one of the most rewarding forms of exercise, whether you’re heading out for a gentle jog or training for your next big race. However, running-related injuries are common, and poor technique can lead to unnecessary pain and strain. That’s where our new treatment comes in. Led by our expert physiotherapist Saki, a certified specialist with the Running School London, this clinic is dedicated to helping runners of all levels overcome injuries, improve their form, and rediscover the joy of pain-free running.
Meet Saki, Your Expert Running Physio
Saki brings eight years of experience in physiotherapy and a personal passion for running to his role at our clinic. Having taken up running himself, Saki gained a special interest in technique and injury prevention, and he knows exactly what it takes to help you run safely and effectively. His philosophy is to treat each client individually, tailoring his approach to suit their unique needs and goals.
Why have a running assessment?
1. Bespoke Assessments
Every runner has unique biomechanics, goals, and physical needs. In your initial assessment, Saki will conduct a thorough analysis of your running technique, gait, and movement patterns. This assessment enables us to create a bespoke programme that targets specific areas for improvement, such as posture, stride, and alignment.
2. Effective Injury Prevention and Management
Common running injuries—like shin splints, knee pain, or Achilles tendon issues—are often caused by overuse or poor technique. Saki’s expertise allows him to pinpoint the root causes of your pain, offering preventive solutions and strengthening techniques to address weak areas. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or aiming to stay injury-free, our clinic provides the support you need.
3. Enhanced Performance and Speed
Through focused exercises, mobility work, and form correction, we can help you improve your running performance, increase your speed, and build endurance. Whether you’re looking to shave minutes off your time or simply feel stronger with every stride, the appointments offers the expertise and guidance to help you reach new milestones.
Success Stories from Saki’s Clients
Saki’s approach has had a lasting impact on runners at every stage of their journey:
- One young client who initially struggled with confidence and coordination completed their programme feeling stronger, more resilient, and ready to tackle school sports with a newfound sense of assurance.
- Another runner who had been plagued by injuries managed to complete qualification races after working with Saki and even achieved a personal best.
- A client who previously couldn’t run due to persistent pain finally conquered a 10K race without any discomfort after five sessions.
These transformations highlight the profound difference that expert care and support can make in a runner’s journey. Please see a few of the videos of before and after a client attending for a running assessment and treatment.
