[b][Sydney, 02/05/2016][/b] – Ergoworks Physiotherapy, a trusted physiotherapy clinic in Sydney, offers treatments for running injuries. The clinic has specialised treatment plans for injuries like hamstring strain, shin pain, Achilles tendinopathy, Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), and iliotibial band syndrome.

[b]Hamstring Strain[/b]

Hamstring strains are common in running and kicking sports, and physiotherapists grade them depending on the extent of injury. Ergoworks’ physiotherapists perform a full assessment, wherein they determine the grade of the strain and design an appropriate treatment plan. Physiotherapists usually combine sport-specific exercises and manual therapy to treat a hamstring injury.

[b]Shin Pain[/b]

Shin pain is also prevalent in runners because of bone stress, inflamed insertional point of muscle to tibia, and compartment syndrome. Shin pain treatment usually includes soft tissue release of tight muscles, ice therapy and dry needling.

[b]Achilles Tendinopathy[/b]

Micro-tears in the Achilles tendon are common in runners and basketball players. Treatment for this injury may incorporate dry needling, soft tissue release, taping, strengthening exercises, and advice on footwear or referral to podiatrist, if there is an issue in foot biomechanics.

[b]Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome[/b]

Runners usually complain about pain around their kneecap. Ergoworks offers a treatment plan that helps patients heal this kind of injury. Treatment for PFPS involves soft tissue release and dry needling of tight muscles around the kneecap, mobilisation of patello-femoral joint, stretching and strengthening of weak muscles of the pelvis and the knee.

[b]Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome (ITBFS)[/b]

ITBFS is common in long distance and trail runners. Treatment for this injury typically consists of soft tissue massage of the iliotibial band, dry needling, and exercise prescription.
