Runners

Lower back pain is a common issue for runners, often caused by:

• Poor running form

• Weak core muscles

• Overpronation

• Tilted pelvis

• Twisted pelvis

• Leg length discrepancy

When left untreated, these issues can lead to chronic conditions such as:

• Piriformis Syndrome

• Sacroiliac Dysfunction

  These conditions can often result in Sciatica, a persistent and long-lasting inflammation of the sciatic nerve.

Running can amplify these muscle imbalances, potentially leading to conditions requiring serious rehabilitation, such as:

• Hip Bursitis

• IT Band Syndrome

• Femoral Acetabular Impingement

• Hip Flexor Strain

• Gluteus Medius Tendinopathy

• Osteoarthritis
