1 Prevention of common running injuries Lower limb and hip joint pain, along with soft tissue structures of the lower leg, can be extremely painful and frustrating injuries. Some of the most common running injuries can often start off as a twinge/niggle, progressing quickly to a debilitating injury that stops us for weeks. Some of these injuries include: - ITB friction syndrome (pain on outside of knee or hip) - patella-femoral knee pain (general pain around/behind knee cap) - Calf and achilles strain - Plantar fasciitis The iliotibial band (ITB) is a thick tendon-like (fascia) part of a muscle called the tensor fasciae latae (TFL). It passes down the outside of the thigh and inserts below the knee. When the TFL and ITB become tight, the knee joint can be pulled out of alignment and rub against the outside of the knee, which results in inflammation and pain. Tight plantar fascia, achilles and other muscles can also add to problems.. Weak medial structures (eg. Vastus medialis/vmo) can also contribute to this. Other weak muscles around the hip, namely gluteals (eg. medius and maximus), have been identified as common causes of lower limb injuries. CAUSES (of all the above injuries): Two main causes: (1) "overload ; (2) "biomechanical errors." (1) Overload can be caused by: Exercising on hard surfaces, like concrete; Exercising on uneven ground; Beginning an exercise program after a long lay-off period; Increasing exercise intensity or duration too quickly; Exercising in worn out or poor-fitting shoes; and, Excessive uphill or downhill running. (2) Biomechanical errors include: Leg length differences; Tight, stiff muscles in the leg (NB: Solution Stretching); Muscle imbalances (NB: Solution - Strengthening exercises); Foot structure problems such as flat feet (NB: Solution good, light but sturdy running shoe (support)); Gait, or running style problems such as pronation. TREATMENT: Initially, ICE the affected area after every run/activity, AND, every evening Stretch, strengthen and reduce volume! Identify the causes above that apply to you and remove/minimise these!
2 % of all lower leg injuries in runners (eg. knee pain, achilles) are caused by poor hip stability 2. During running & change of direction, muscles around the hip need to be strong enough to stop the hip rotating or dropping 3. Hip extensors eg. glut max Hip rotators eg. glut min, quadratus fem Hip abductors eg. TFL, glut med
3 GYM CONDITIONING PROGRAM (Stage 1) - PURPOSE The purpose of the program is to prepare and condition the lower body for sport training and competition long term. It also aims to develop mobility and general strength/stability around the hips/core. The program will be specifically tailored to the functional needs of running to assist in: (1) Developing strength of the hip abductors (TFL, glut medius) and hip extensors (glut maximus/hamstrings) (2) Developing strength of the VMO (vastus medialis) (3) Long-term welfare and longevity (reduce risk of injury due to lack of preparation or overload) injury prevention (4) Developing length/flexibility of ITB (priority), hip flexors, achilles/calf, lower back/hamstrings Hip stability: An initial focus will be on developing hip and gluteal stability. One of the main causes of lower leg pain/problems is poor hip stability or tight structures around the hip eg. Strength of the muscles around the hip joint, specifically the external rotators and extensors i.e. gluteus maximus, medius and minimus, TFL, quadratus femoris. EXERCISE PROGRAM: This should include some stretching and strengthening. Here are the key muscles to stretch and strengthen: Stretching: ITB/TFL Hip flexors/quads Lower back/hamstrings Calves/Achilles Functional strengthening: Hip abduction (gluteal medius, TFL) Hip extension (gluteus maximus) Quads (VMO) one-legged squat Summary: 70% of lower body injuries are preventable with strong control of the core, and, good mobility/flexibility.
