The whole runner · Head
What they believe, and where they're headed
"I've a marathon in 12 weeks." "If I ease off, I'll lose all my fitness." Beliefs, concerns and goals are screened in session one, never as an afterthought, because they shape every decision that follows.
Module 1 · Key concepts & subjective assessment
The whole runner · Mind
The load that isn't on the legs
Work stress, anxiety, too many plates spinning. Mood and mental wellbeing sit inside the initial assessment, because psychosocial load changes how pain behaves and how much training a runner can absorb.
Module 1 · Subjective assessment
The whole runner · Fuelling
Energy, sleep and recovery
Diet, nutrition and sleep are screened from the start. Low energy availability and RED-S quietly undermine recovery and bone health, so fuelling and rest are treated as training, not afterthoughts.
Module 1 · Subjective assessment
The whole runner · Low back
Low back pain in runners
A step-by-step guide to assessing and treating low back pain in runners, from first presentation through to a clear, confident return-to-running path.
Module 12 · LBP in runners
The whole runner · Hip
Lateral hip & gluteal pain
Step-by-step assessment and treatment for lateral hip pain and gluteal tendinopathy, plus the deep buttock pain of proximal hamstring tendinopathy.
Modules 16 & 17 · Hamstring & lateral hip
The whole runner · Knee
Patellofemoral pain & ITB
The two you see most. Diagnose confidently, then build winning rehab with knee and hip-focused strength, control and power, tested and progressed without flaring symptoms.
Module 10 · ITBS & patellofemoral pain
The whole runner · Shin
Bone stress injuries
Tell a bone stress injury from shin splints from muscle overload, so a stress fracture is never missed, and manage medial tibial stress syndrome with a clear return path.
Module 8 · Bone stress injuries
The whole runner · Calf
Calf & muscle injuries
Diagnose and treat calf and anterolateral shin pain, and load the calf complex so runners tolerate speed and hills without flaring.
Module 9 · Muscle pain & overload
The whole runner · Achilles
Achilles tendinopathy
Differentiate and treat Achilles tendinopathy effectively, with evidence-based loading that rebuilds capacity stage by stage.
Modules 6 & 13 · Tendinopathy & Achilles in detail
The whole runner · Heel
Plantar heel pain
Address plantar fasciopathy across strength, control, range of movement and load capacity, with a plan the runner can actually stick to.
Module 7 · Plantar heel pain
The whole runner · Feet
Footwear & pronation
Know when pronation actually matters, and give footwear advice grounded in the runner in front of you, not the marketing on the box.
Module 15 · Footwear & pronation
