Point.
What running clinic sees most.
Urgency first, then the symptoms that bring people in and what we do about them. If a same-day line matches, do not wait for us.
Routine
Runner's knee (patellofemoral pain)
Pain around or behind the kneecap from the way it loads, usually a training or strength story rather than damage.
- Ache around or behind the kneecap
- Worse on stairs, hills, squats and after sitting
- Often both knees
- Rarely swells
Running gait analysis package: the treadmill usually shows the cause, and the fix is strength plus a change in load.
Routine
Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome)
Pain along the inside of the shin from too much running too soon, or a change in surface or shoes.
- Ache along the inside edge of the shin bone
- Worse at the start of a run, sometimes easing, then worse after
- Tender to press along the bone
- Both shins, often
Running MOT or gait analysis package; a focal spot of bone pain that hurts to hop on is treated as a possible stress fracture and imaged first.

Questions about running clinic.
Should I bring my shoes?
Yes, the ones you run in most, plus any you are thinking of buying. Shoe changes are the last thing we suggest, not the first.
Do you sell orthotics?
No. If we think you need insoles we say so and refer you to a podiatrist we trust. Most runners do not.
Which insurers do you work with?
Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, Aviva, WPA and Cigna are billed directly with your authorisation number; you pay only any excess. Healix, Simplyhealth and Allianz patients pay us and claim back. Classes, sports massage, the Running MOT and desk assessments are self-pay on nearly every policy.
What should I wear and bring?
Clothes you can move in: shorts for legs, a vest for shoulders and backs. We have spare shorts. For the running clinic, bring the shoes you run in. Bring any scan reports or letters from a consultant; we can read images sent to your phone.
Injured today?
Same week, 48 hours for an acute injury.
