Marathon injury rehabilitation
Running a marathon is an incredible achievement, but the journey to the finish line can take a toll on your body. From back pain to plantar fasciitis and everything in between, the path can be rocky.
These injuries often result from overuse, poorly executed training techniques, or not enough recovery. Without good care, these injuries can sideline you and stop you from achieving your goals.
At Technique Health & Fitness, we specialise in injury management for marathon runners. Whether you're dealing with a current injury or looking to prevent future ones, our tailored treatments focus on promoting healing, restoring strength, and enhancing performance. From hands-on therapies to guided exercise programs, we’re here to keep you running strong.
