 Welcome to the Injuries and Treatment Articles section  

The purpose of this section is primarily to discuss injury prevention, as well as the appropriate management of running injuries.

Runners are notoriously bad when dealing with injuries. 

"In fact, most runners seem to take perverse pride in completing that marathon only 1 week after the hip replacement (carrying the crutches just in case), and with pneumonia, and with the left calf still niggling!" - Teri Burgess, resident physiotherapist, Cape Town

Over time we hope to develop the section into providing the information that will hopefully lead to injury free running.

See the injury guide, troubleshooters guide, to where the sites are for the most common running injuries as well as the BIG 5 - the five most common running injuries.
