Tamworth and Solihull physiotherapists prepare for the London Marathon running injuries which develop as the mileage increases. Atlas Sports Injury Clinic in Solihull Birmingham have already noticed the increase in running injury patients seeking help with their marathon training injuries.
The London Marathon Running season is now underway and many runners entered for the 2010 Virgin London Marathon will have their training programme in place and begin pounding the roads in order to build up endurance in the legs and heart muscles.
Cardiovascular training is important but more important is to prepare your muscles for the endurance activity or continual running from between 2 hours up to 6 hours in some cases. Many average runners and novices aim to complete the 26 mile course in about 4 hours which is a long time to run without a rest.
Preparation for this ordeal should be a gradual progressive increase in time and distance which takes dedication, commitment and good time management.
Many runners will have biomechanical faults which will result in running injuries once the mileage increases. Running injury clinics such as Atlas Sports Injury Clinic in Solihull Birmingham have expertise in running and running injuries and can assist runners to get back running in the fastest possible time. Their website has useful running tips and injury prevention advice www.londonmarathon-runninginjuryclinics.co.uk
From February through to the race in April, Atlas Running Injury Clinic will help many London Marathon Runners with common running injuries like runners knee, patella tendonitis, achilles tendonitis, bursitis, blisters, shinsplints, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and calf strains. Overpronating runners who overpronate may develop a variety of running injuries. Overpronation needs to be corrected with a pair of prescription orthotics which can be fitted at either Atlas Clinics in Solihull and Tamworth.
Running injury physiotherapists and sports therapists will look after the injury side of things and the sports podiatrist will design prescription orthotics to fit in your running shoes if you have poor lower limb biomechanics.

Orthotics will treat overpronation in runners
Overpronated feet are very common and many people who pronate or overpronate now wear prescription orthotics insoles in their trainers and running shoes. Prices may vary and range from an “off the shelf orthotic” to prescriptive orthotics of a high specification. The 2010 Virgin London Marathon will have many overpronating runners wearing orthotics.
Orthosis can range from soft, semi rigid and rigid and can be found in threequarter or full length varieties. Commonly known as foot insoles or orthotic insoles they provide arch supports for dropped arches and flat feet.
Slim fit orthotics can be found for more difficult shoes and you can even have them fitted in ladies court shoes.
The secret to correcting faulty biomechanics is in the prescription. Many people fit foot orthotics but care must be taken when choosing a practitioner.
At Solihull Sports Injury Clinic in Hall Green Birmingham they have Sports Podiatrist Peter Taylor who has competed as a runner for many years and won the Burton Half Marathon in 1 hour 10 mins. Peter is a specialist in running injuries and fitting orthotic insoles.
Peter Taylor runs the Atlas Runners Injury Clinic at Solihull Sports Injury Clinic on the Robin Hood Island, Hall Green in Birmingham and has access to laser foot scanning and video gait analysis equipment which ensures accurate prescription measurements when designing your orthotics.
Peter also works at the Atlas Sports Injury Clinic in Tamworth town centre where he carries out full biomechanical assessments

If you are currently using correction in your running shoes but not in your daily footwear then you are risking the incidence of picking up an injury.
As soon as you wear an orthotic it changes your relationship with the ground. Generally your feet are pushed towards the outer side of your shoes reducing the rolling in experienced of the overpronator. This now puts the lower limbs into a different position and results in the muscles having to pull at a slightly different angle.
This is supposed to happen and in order to get used to wearing the orthotic’s some users may have been told to wear them for a few hours per day and gradually increase the time wearing them until they get used to them.
