Sessions

This Runners hour strengthening class is designed to improve the strength and power of the major muscle groups involved in running to help improve your performance and reduce your injury risk.

John has been a competitive fell runner over many years and has a specialist interest in running injuries from a personal and professional perspective and is heavily involved with Helm Hill runners. He also has a diploma in sports therapy.

All equipment will be provided, we recommend wearing your normal running gear and bringing along a towel and water bottle.

Who is it for

If you are new to strength training specifically for running this class will gradually introduce you to which muscles to strengthen, how to strengthen them and how hard to work them.

The class is suitable for runners of all abilities. If you are a more experienced runner but new to strength training the class will be tailored to your needs as much as it is to new runners.

Exercises focus on running muscles rather than upper body/ arms/ shoulders.

No previous strength training or gym experience is necessary.

If you have had a break from running due to injury illness or other reason this class will also help you to get back into your running, improve your performance and reduce your risk of injury.

  After a knee injury playing table tennis, the team were excellent at diagnosing the problem & setting up a slow & steady recovery routine - lots of stretching, massage & strength exercises.

Am back playing TT & heading back on the hills!!

  I went to Kendal Physio after experiencing problems with my thumb and wrist for about 8 weeks. I’d tried rest, You Tube video ‘fixes’ (which made it worse) and then decided it was time to stop wasting time and go to see a physio. Mary was great at pinpointing the problem and setting me up with a series of exercises to do at home. These had a rapid effect and I felt some marked improvement quite quickly, especially as regards pain management. The exercises were adapted and changed with each visit, to ensure a full movement range could be achieved by the end of the course of treatments. I found it particularly useful to have all the exercises sent through on an email that contained short videos of every exercise. Mary is fantastic, really thorough in diagnosing/assessing , and careful to ensure each exercise is clearly understood and carried out before leaving the practice.  I absolutely recommend Kendal Physio!

  Very friendly, caring and helpful centre. My physio diagnosed my problem, gave me some treatment and gave me exercises to follow. It was easy to get follow up appointments. Thank you.

  As well as attending an excellent Pilates class I have been receiving treatment for a shoulder problem from Sarah Yeates. I couldn’t be in better hands. Sarah is knowledgeable, professional and very approachable. She quickly diagnosed the problem and then set a manageable treatment plan. I’m thrilled to say there has been a great improvement.
Top marks too to the very helpful and friendly reception staff!
Thank to all

  Excellent service. A detailed consultation process during which we pin pointed the exact problems.
Very good advice and exercises that really helped me to tackle the problem, ease pain and build up strength.

Again excellent follow-up sessions with additional massage that was very helpful.

  All as I can say is thank goodness for Kendal Physio and Arjun. Walked into Reception on the 3rd December with unbelievable upper back / shoulder / neck pain and zero movement in those areas. Great people to deal with both patient and understanding. It has been a slow job but every visit saw an increase in movement and reduction in pain level. Finally reached a successful conclusion. Great job done.
Thank you to everyone

  I visited Kendal Physio Centre with a shoulder and forearm injury. I saw Reema who prescribed a number of simple exercises which didn't take up a lot of time but have resulted in a great improvement in my shoulder flexibility and strength and I no longer get pain in my forearm. I'm very pleased with the results and highly recommend them. Thanks, Kendal Physio!

  I'd highly recommend making an appointment with Alison at Kendal Physio & Wellbeing Centre, she was really helpful and easy to chat to. She figured out my issue and gave me a list of exercises to work through regularly and some really helpful tips.

  John Bagge succeeding in identifying the issue with my knee and through an exercise regime the issue has now been almost entirely resolved. I am continuing with the exercises and am confident that the issue will not only be fixed but strengthening my muscles will prevent further injury.
