Plantar fasciitis
In the first of these videos we address Plantar Fasciitis (PF). One of the more common walking and running injuries, PF can be horribly difficult to get rid of if not addressed. Use the specific rehab exercises detailed in the video to bullet proof against or to rehab PF. For extra information go to our injury pages for some extra advice on dealing with this injury.
Strengthening and stretching the surrounding foot and ankle musculature and tissues may help address some of potential imbalances aggravating your injury. Try to do the exercises in the video daily whilst the injury is still acute, then revert to 3 x times per week to avoid the return of PF.
Always consult a medical professional prior to undertaking any new exercise regime.
Shin splints - Pre-Hab and or Rehab Circuit

The exercises target common areas of tightness and weakness to support long term happy and healthy running.
Aim for 3 circuits of the 3 exercises and find the band that challenges you for 12 repetitions while you can still keep good technique.

The aim of the routine is to create strength, muscle and stability around the knee and hip.
The exercises target common areas of weakness and aim to strengthen muscle and connective tissue which may support reducing injury risk, improve running economy and keep you running consistently.
Aim for 3 to 4 circuits of the 4 exercises and find the band that challenges you for 12 repetitions while you can still keep good technique.
You can increase resistance to stronger bands as you improve both strength and technique - always let good technique be your guide.
