Being an avid road, trail and ultra runner himself, as well as an Athletics Australia qualified running coach, Sam knows runners. Sams number one aim is to keep you running and training for your running goals throughout the treatment process.
Sam will assess, diagnose and treat your running injury via a holistic assessment of the multiple factors involved in running injuries, including training factors, strength/power/mobility, biomechanics, sleep, stress, footwear and any other contributing factors.
The Run With Strength Difference
The benefit of Online Running Physiotherapy with Sam is that he has the time to get to know you and your injury. With 1 hour initial consults and 40 minute follow ups, Sam isn’t trying to give you a bandaid fix and rush you out the door.
