Run Pain-Free Again: The Proven System That’s Helped 100+ Runners Return Stronger Than Ever

You’re not alone. A staggering 1 in 2 runners will face injury within the next 12 months.

That twinge in your knee? The ache in your foot? They’re not just “part of running.” They’re warning signs that could derail your running dreams.

Imagine lining up for your goal race, months of hard work behind you, only to limp off the course before the halfway mark. The disappointment. The frustration. The “what-ifs” that haunt you for months.

Don’t let that be your story.

Hi, I’m Reece – physiotherapist, injury prevention specialist, and fellow runner. I’ve been where you are. I’ve pushed through pain, ignored the warning signs, and paid the price.

But I’ve also discovered the secret to running stronger, faster, and injury-free.

Introducing the Runner’s Resilience Program

This isn’t just another “rest and recover” plan. It’s a structured, proven system that’s helped hundreds of runners – including myself – break free from the injury cycle and achieve their running goals.

Don’t become another injury statistic. Don’t watch your running dreams slip away.

Join the runners who are breaking personal records, not their bodies. 

Ready to run without fear? To push your limits without pushing your luck?

Spaces are limited, and your next injury could be just around the corner. 

Take control of your running future today.

P.S. Still unsure? Remember, half of all runners will get injured this year. But you don’t have to be one of them. This program isn’t just about recovering from injury – it’s about preventing it before it starts. Don’t wait until you’re sidelined to take action. Your strongest, fastest running self is waiting. Let’s unlock your potential together.

"I was skeptical at first, but Reece's program changed everything. I'm running faster and longer than ever, with zero pain."

"After years of on-and-off injuries, I finally completed a full training cycle without setbacks. Reece's approach works!"

Running History & Injury Screening

A detailed running injury assessment begins with understanding your training history, previous injuries, and running goals. We look at your weekly mileage, recovery habits, footwear history, and injury patterns. This helps us identify factors that may contribute to overuse injuries or performance plateaus, such as overtraining or poor recovery. This step ensures your physiotherapy treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs and goals—whether you’re preparing for a race or trying to overcome a chronic running injury.

Strength and Control Testing

We assess your lower limb and core strength, with a focus on running-specific muscle groups like the glutes, hamstrings, calves, and deep core muscles. This helps detect any muscle imbalances or weaknesses that can impact running performance and increase the risk of injury. Weak glutes, for example, can cause poor hip control and knee pain. Identifying these issues allows us to create a targeted strength program that supports better movement, power, and injury prevention.

Comprehensive Running Gait Analysis

comprehensive running gait analysis is a detailed assessment designed to improve running performance and reduce injury risk. Using high-speed video analysis, a physiotherapist evaluates your foot strike, stride, cadence, and joint alignment. The session also includes strength, mobility, and stability testing to identify imbalances that may affect your running mechanics. This evidence-based approach helps uncover the root causes of pain, inefficiencies, or recurring injurie

Footwear and Load Management Review

We assess your running shoes for appropriate fit, function, and wear patterns, and review your training structure—covering mileage, intensity, terrain, and rest days. Choosing the wrong shoe or increasing training load too quickly is a common cause of injury. With the right footwear advice and training guidance, you can avoid overuse injuries like Achilles tendinopathy or ITB syndrome. This review helps ensure you’re running in the best gear with a plan that supports long-term success.

Individualised Running and Strength Plan

Following your assessment, you’ll receive an individualized running and strength plan tailored to your biomechanics, goals, and current level of conditioning. This plan targets key areas identified during testing—such as mobility restrictions, muscular imbalances, or poor movement control—to improve efficiency and reduce injury risk. It may include specific mobility drills, strength exercises, and technique cues designed to enhance your running form and performance. With clear progressions and expert guidance, this plan empowers you to train smarter, recover better, and run stronger—whether you’re aiming to return from injury or reach a new personal best.

Mobility, Flexibility and Movement Control

We assess joint mobility, flexibility, and movement control to optimize running efficiency and reduce injury risk. Limited range in the hips, ankles, or spine—or tight calves and hamstrings—can lead to compensations like overstriding or poor shock absorption, contributing to injuries such as shin splints or plantar fasciitis. Functional tests like single-leg squats and step-downs help identify deficits in dynamic stability, balance, and alignment under load. Addressing these issues improves technique, prevents strain, and ensures your body can handle the repetitive demands of running with control and efficiency.
