Runner's MOT

Service Description

Runner’s MOT (90 minutes) The Runner’s MOT is a comprehensive 90-minute movement and performance check-up designed for runners in Fordingbridge and the surrounding Hampshire area who want to stay consistent, reduce recurring niggles, and move more efficiently on every run. This session is ideal for anyone experiencing familiar tightness or discomfort, such as stiff calves, knee or back tightness, hip niggles, or simply wanting to optimise their movement patterns to prevent future issues and improve performance. What’s included in the session 1. Functional Movement Assessment We start with a structured assessment to evaluate how your body moves and loads during running-related patterns. This helps identify areas of tightness, compensations, or strength imbalances that could be affecting your performance. This session provides a functional movement assessment rather than gait analysis, focusing on muscular balance, mechanical contributors, and stability issues that commonly affect runners. 2. Targeted Hands-On Treatment Based on the assessment, you’ll receive personalised treatment using techniques such as: • Manual therapy • Joint techniques • Sports massage • Cupping • Taping • Other specialised soft-tissue methods as needed 3. Personalised Take-Home Plan You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s been contributing to your recurring issues, along with tailored exercises and practical strategies to integrate into your training. The goal is to help you run stronger, move more efficiently, and stay consistent without chasing symptoms. Who benefits from the Runner’s MOT This session is perfect for runners in Fordingbridge and Hampshire who: • Experience recurring niggles or stiffness • Want to improve movement efficiency and performance • Are training for races or long-distance running • Wish to prevent future issues and maintain long-term resilience Whether you’re running on trails, roads, or a mix of both, the Runner’s MOT provides clarity, effective treatment, and a personalised plan to support long-term running health and enjoyment
