UOS Running Performance Clinic

For today: an exercise on screening the first muscle of the calf… the soleus.
The Soleus lies underneath the Achilles’ tendon and bears a large load during running that helps to flex the foot and push off the ground. The Soleus also helps the heart to circulate blood acting as a pump to bring in nutrients and remove waste.
To screen for weakness a calf raise with a bent leg is used. Make sure you raise your heel up high after dropping it below the step.
Count how many complete raises you can do on each side. Remember your score or comment them below! @ Manchester, United Kingdom

With our treadmill gait analysis you will receive a clinical assessment by one of our experienced specialist physiotherapists. This covers an examination of your muscular strength, endurance capacity, and joint range of motion. The clinical assessment directly complements the biomechanical measures of tracking your gait in-run.
Taking into account your running history, previous injuries, and future goals our team will be able to get you on the right track towards recovery and success.

How’s your form? 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️
Think you have perfected your running gait? Or do you always have unexplained recurring injuries?
Even if not in the same area, different injuries may be caused by the same underlying muscle weakness, tightness, or gait tendency when running 🤕. So have a think about that next little ni**le. Or let us check it out!
