Russell Physio

Most rehab plans aren’t designed for runners. They calm your pain down and rebuild basic strength and movement patterns, but often don’t prepare you for the demands of running. That’s the gap I close as a physio and run coach. Comment FAILED if this makes you rethink your rehab.

It’s WAY more common than people think, and it’s rarely due to bad luck. Usually it means the first time around the true weak link never got found or addressed properly, only the symptoms l.

But it’s also easier to fix than what you’d think 🫣 you just need a proper return to run plan, that looks at YOU as a runner, not just a random individual

Most runners only use pain as the only signal, if it doesn’t hurt, it’s fixed. But pain is one of the last things to show up, and the first to go. Tissue capacity, load tolerance, strength - all lags behind how something feels. ‘Feels fine’ is suuuuper different to ‘ready to handle 40 miles a week again’.

The biggest mistake that injured runners make…

I hear ‘I’ve already tried physio, it doesn’t work’ from sooo many injured runners in my DM’s, but when we break down the plan, this mistake is always here.

I’m releasing exactly what’s usually missing throughout this month, stay tuned.

Another day in the life for you 😊 you all said you enjoyed the last one, so I thought I’d make them more regular, love this job!!

I shouldn’t tell you this, but if you’re still injured after rehab, it probably isn’t your fault.

START. THAT. BUSINESS. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Executing the idea I had for years has been the most fun and fulfilling decision I’ve ever made
