Read MoreFully Equipped Clinic
Our Running Clinic is equipped with advanced technology used in elite sport, including Run3D gait analysis, Kinvent strength and performance testing, shockwave therapy and a fully equipped Functional Rehab Suite. Together, they provide precise data, targeted treatment and measurable progress for every runner.
Kinvent provides precise strength, balance and power testing to identify weaknesses and asymmetries that affect running performance. With objective data and re-testing, it guides targeted strength programmes, supports injury rehabilitation and helps runners build resilience and efficiency.
Run3D offers advanced 3D motion analysis that measures running mechanics with lab-level accuracy. It identifies asymmetries, loading issues and technique inefficiencies, giving runners clear, objective data to prevent injuries, guide rehab and improve performance.
Shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic energy to stimulate healing in stubborn running injuries such as Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis and shin pain. It reduces pain, boosts tissue repair and accelerates recovery when combined with progressive rehab.

A quick and easy process for booking my appointment with reception (including an offer to be seen the same day) and my appointment with Eve was great. She explained everything in detail and provided clear and well tailored advice for my running injury. Highly recommend!
I came in with a very sore ankle and was struggling to bear weight, but after just five sessions, I feel much more confident walking and running again. The home exercises were simple and effective, and the follow-up sessions provided great advice for long-term recovery. Highly recommended!
Craig at Macfarlane Physiotherapy was outstanding. He resolved my recurring lower back issue with targeted sports massage and acupuncture, and equipped me with a personalised stretch and exercise programme I can easily follow and track via an app. Thanks to his expert care, I’ve returned to football, running, and golf with zero issues. Professional, effective, and empowering—highly recommended.
Seen Louise for problems with my knee when running, after thinking it was caused from hamstring. She quickly diagnosed the problem being my IT band, and the exercises received worked within 2/3 weeks😊 many thanks!
