Running isn't always about completing something as fast as possible (a 5k is still a 5k no matter what time you do it in). For me running has always been the perfect coping strategy when dealing with lifes ups and downs. Mindful of this, there's nothing more frustrating when something that gives you so much positive energy ends up causing you pain, discomfort or even an injury. At UpandRunninginHovePark, we treat every patient with utmost importance to get you back on your feet again as quickly as possible. We can't guarantee a magic cure, nor prescribe a magic pill to cure you, but we do have plenty of experience to help guide and support you back to doing what you love to do. My 3D running technique company www.strideuk.com soon became one of the UK's most leading motion analysis companies working with everyone from Couch to 5k, Can't run / want to run, Triathletes, Common Wealth, Olympic, MDS to Paralympic athletes. I've worked with high level athletes including James Cracknell, Liz Yelling, Richard Whitehead and the legend Eddie Izzard. I've written for Runners world, Running Fitness, Mens / Womens Running, The Guardian and presented at Virgin Marathon training days. If visiting me with a running related problem, expect a thorough investigation with plenty of questions being fired at you. That way I hope to be able to tap into where you are in your 'pain / injury' cycle and help return you back to health as quickly as possible. Homework is paramount to a successful outcome. My oath is to give you as much info to help guide you back to normal function, your oath would be to follow the advice given, stay positive, be patient.
