STRESS FRACTURE TREATMENT
Stress fractures are tiny fissures in the bones which are common ailments among runners and athletes and are brought on by repetitive and severe loading. These fractures frequently develop from insufficient rest periods after vigorous physical exertion. Particularly runners are more vulnerable because of the repeated impact pressures they experience during training and competition. At Run Ready, we provide a unique sports physiotherapy model that delivers a professional standard rehabilitation experience. We optimise recovery from all types of injuries via an integrated process of sports physiotherapy and rehab in our state-of-the-art strength and conditioning facility.

MOST COMMON STRESS FRACTURE
Stress fractures of the metatarsal bones are quite common, especially in athletes who engage in activities involving running or jumping. Stress fractures of the tibia or shinbone, are also common. These fractures often occur in the lower third of the shinbone, and they are frequently seen in runners, basketball players, and dancers. Our friendly and highly experienced team work collaboratively to formulate a training plan to optimise your sporting performance. With a state-of-the-art training facility, your rehab will be accelerated, returning you to sport sooner and in better condition. See also related treatment for calf strain.
STRESS FRACTURE PHYSICAL THERAPY
Remember that factors including exercise intensity and duration, biomechanics, footwear, and personal bone strength all affect the risk of stress fractures. It’s important to have a medical assessment if you think you could have a stress fracture or if you have symptoms like ongoing pain or discomfort in order to get the right diagnosis and course of action. Our expert team thoroughly assess injuries using VALD testing equipment, giving unparalleled insight into injury risk, physical deficits and goal setting.
Our goal is to provide local athletes with professional level sports rehabilitation through our sports physio programs, helping them return to the sport they love.
