We had a great day supporting Cammeray Public School in their annual Fun Run. Physio On Miller provided the pre and post-race massages and it was fantastic to see everyone enjoying the 1km and 3km runs, family relay and tug-of-war. The kids had a great time challenging their core balance on the wobbleboard, mini tramp and Pilates ball.
Thanks for having us and we look forward to next year’s event

Running injuries are commonly caused by a sudden increase in training, incorrect footwear, poor biomechanics, weak muscles (quads and gluts) and tight muscles (calves, hamstrings and ITB).
Treatment is important to prevent the injury occurring or getting worse. It consists of addressing your biomechanics (technique correction), rebalancing your muscles (massaging tight muscles and strengthening the weak ones) and following a gradual increased training program.
Common Running Injuries include:
