MCL injuries affect the ligament on the inner side of the knee, often caused by twisting movements, sports impacts, or sudden changes in direction. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness, and knee instability.

Physiotherapy is essential for MCL injury recovery, helping reduce pain, restore movement, and strengthen the knee. A personalised rehab plan supports healing, improves stability, and helps reduce future injuries, allowing you to return safely to daily activities and sport.

Preparing for running starts with building strength, mobility, and good habits. Dynamic warm-ups activate key muscles, while targeted strength work especially for the glutes, core and lower limb, helps reduce injury.

Gradually increasing your mileage and allowing time for recovery is essential to avoid overload. If you notice persistent aches - address them early to stay on track. Smart preparation keeps you running stronger for longer.

Running is a brilliant form of exercise to stay fit and healthy, but it's not without its risks. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the common running injuries, their causes, symptoms, and most importantly, how to treat them.
