You’ve enjoyed a few weeks of good food, socialising, and switching off — and now it’s time to face reality:
Work is back. Preseason training is back.

As we age, muscles naturally get weaker. Our bones also lose density, increasing the risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis — especially for post-menopausal women.

At Life Performance Health, we help runners stay injury-free with expert physiotherapy, cutting-edge technology, and personalised treatment plans. Below are the top 3 running injuries we see in our Melbourne clinics — plus how to treat them, prevent them, and keep running strong.

If you’ve recently picked up an injury—whether you’re a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete—it’s tempting to focus on the short term: get rid of pain, get back to training, and hope for the best. But successful rehab doesn’t stop when the pain goes away.

To stay fast and explosive all season, athletes need a structured approach: sprint training, repeat sprint ability (RSA) work, strength and power development, and smart recovery strategies.

While most concussions resolve within the standard recovery time, some linger beyond three weeks.

You’ve probably heard of Osteoporosis. It’s a relatively common condition affecting up to 1 in 4 women and 1 in 16 men over the age of 50.

Running success isn’t just about clocking miles—it’s a balancing act between pushing your body to its limits and staying injury-free.

Whether this is your 15th consecutive marathon, or you’ve made a last minute decision with your friend to join in the fun, your preparation in the lead up is equally as important.

Knowing the signs & symptoms of a concussion is crucial for players, coaches, and parents alike.
