Running Assessment with Arran Nicholson from Move Physio

05/25/24 • 25 min

When sore hips and a sharp knee pain began to threaten my 5K dreams, I knew it was time for a change. That's when Arran Nicholson from Move Physio stepped in, offering his expertise to help me tackle these persistent issues head-on. This week's episode is a candid account of my visit to the Move Physio Office in Twickenham, where I underwent a thorough running assessment that was both enlightening and humbling. As we peel back the layers of my running form, the treadmill analysis and strength exercises expose the imbalances that have been holding me back, offering a clearer path to my 5K and, yes, the ambitious 10K goals.
Aaron's insights shine a spotlight on the technicalities that could revolutionize your run: from correcting overstriding and heel striking to building balanced strength for injury prevention and efficiency. I reflect on the mental hurdles and physical revelations from the session, sharing the valuable feedback that's reshaping how I approach each stride. If you're curious about how professional guidance could elevate your running game, this tale of transformation is not to be missed. Plus, I'll leave you with actionable training advice that could be the key to smoother, more powerful runs. Join us for this journey of self-discovery and find out how you, too, can step up your running performance with the help of Arran and Move Physio.

Strap in, because we're about to serve you a generous helping of insights on the symbiotic relationship between running, rest, and the alchemy of recovery.
