PHYSIO OPINION: What is good running form?

7/24/2020

18 Comments

 
During the COVID-19 pandemic, running observably has become an extremely popular exercise activity locally obviously, for its health benefits and simplicity as no equipment is required. I am avid runner myself recreationally often clocking up 50kms per week. Over the past 10 years as a physiotherapist, I have coached hundreds of my patients who have never ran before to shed a few pounds or improve their overall fitness. Many of my patients have misconceptions about running in particular, that running is bad for your knees and that you are at major risk of arthritis. This common concern has been debunked by science by multiple studies. Based on large population studies, the chances of developing arthritis from regular running are very slim. In fact, regular running has shown to strengthen joints and plays a protective role in the development of osteoarthritis later in life. Commonly reported knee pain by runners at Acland Street Physiotherapy that is generally treatable with a moderate amount of physiotherapy and strength training are Iliotibial Band Syndrome or Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.

The following is a concise infographic on how what good running form generally looks like. If you would prefer to further explore this, please do not hesitate to make a booking with us for a comprehensive physiotherapy and biomechanical running assessment.

Thanks for pointing out that we might have misconceptions regarding running in particular. As you said, some might think that it might damage the knees for those who are at risk of arthritis, but it is not true. With that in mind, I should look for a physiotherapy clinic that my dad could go to and get the services he needs, since he has been having a hard time walking for the past weeks now that is why it would be best for him to be treated now.

A clinic which has a number of physiotherapists should be chosen by you as the physiotherapists can often consult with each other about your health problems and the ailments.

Thanks for pointing out that running has become an extremely popular exercise for its health benefits. My husband has been suffering from plantar fasciitis since last month due to running. He is hoping to find physiotherapists on Monday who can help him improve his condition within six months.

I liked it the most when you shared that regular running can help strengthen joints. My friend got injured while running. I should advise him to opt for physiotherapy for faster recovery.
