Osteopathic care for running injuries in Orpington
Running injuries can develop suddenly or gradually over time. Some runners notice pain after increasing distance, speed, hill work or training frequency. Others may develop stiffness, aching or discomfort after a change in footwear, surface, recovery, strength or running load.
People may attend with running-related knee pain, calf pain, ankle pain, foot discomfort, hip pain, lower back pain, Achilles-related discomfort, muscle tightness or general movement-related symptoms. These issues can affect confidence, training consistency and your ability to return to running comfortably.
At Resilience Osteopathy in Orpington, care begins with a clear assessment to understand your symptoms, running history, training load, recovery, movement and goals. Treatment is tailored to you and may include hands-on osteopathic care, movement advice, load management and rehabilitation exercises where appropriate.
How osteopathy may help
Osteopathic care looks at how your joints, muscles, posture, movement, strength, running load and recovery may be contributing to your symptoms. The aim is to understand the bigger picture, rather than only focusing on the painful area.
Your appointment may include hands-on osteopathic treatment to support mobility and comfort, along with advice to help you manage symptoms between appointments. Where appropriate, you may also be given rehabilitation exercises to support movement, strength, control and confidence.
Treatment is always based on your assessment findings, symptoms, goals and general health. If your symptoms suggest that medical review or further investigation is needed, you will be advised appropriately.

I have been seeing David for a number of months now and cannot thank him enough for the help and support he has given me. I took part in this year’s London Marathon and unfortunately got an injury halfway through my 18 week training plan. David went above and beyond to help me recover and continue training so that I could complete the marathon.
Without his help and support I would not have been able to walk 26 miles, let alone run it.
Thanks again for all your help and advice, particularly in the week running up to the marathon.
