Are you a keen runner looking to understand your body a bit better? Maybe you have been injured this season, and it’s not the first time this injury has occurred?
Lauren, one of our Senior Physiotherapists at Kingsland Physiotherapy, is starting a clinic to help endurance athletes better understand their bodies and reduce injury risk in their upcoming season. She has a postgraduate degree in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and a Master’s in Health Science. She has represented Great Britain in figure skating for 6 years and has spent the last 6 years being involved in endurance-based sports. To date, she has completed several full Ironman races and a good handful of 70.3s. She combines her personal experience with her professional knowledge to bring out the best in her athletes and help them maximise their season.
She is aiming to help you understand where your weaknesses lie concerning your injuries and to tailor your treatment specifically to you. She collaborates closely with other excellent health care professionals, such as podiatrists, dieticians, and acupuncturists, to provide complete management.
A session could look like: a thorough deep dive into your goals for the season and beyond, strength testing, endurance testing and a personalised strength plan to reduce injury risk and get you performing better.
The appointment will be up to 60 minutes initially and then any follow-ups will be up to 45 minutes.
