Runner’s Full Body MOT with Running Technique Assessment
The physiotherapists at CSPC are experienced in assessing and treating runners on a regular basis, from the elite level to grass roots athletes. We have worked with runners from local running clubs in the area for a number of years, providing physiotherapy and injury prevention advice.
By watching you walk and run, and carrying out a number of tests in the clinic, it is usually possible to find some key areas that may need treating or retraining, to improve efficiency or that will help to offload an area that is often injured. It may be as simple as adding some stretching or strengthening exercises into your training or addressing some more technical issues such as your arm swing or posture. This can dramatically reduce the stresses placed on your body and help you move better.
Running is something we are rarely taught how to do, and it is something we do as a child purely for the joy of it. With this service, we aim to help you enjoy your running, reduce your injury risk and get as much out of running as possible. Many of our physios run, whether for fitness or for headspace, so we understand the importance of keeping you running!
It is NEVER too late to begin to address your technique.

What happens after identifying areas of improvement?
Below is an example of one of the running drills that may be prescribed by one of our CSPC physiotherapists during your full body MOT with running technique assessment. The drill demonstrated activates the hamstrings and encourages a fast and correct foot strike.
Running Drills
We have seen sprinters and endurance runners alike achieving PBs by adding in drills to their program, or by fine-tuning the drills they are already doing.

Winning the MOT and subsequent treatment has pretty much transformed my running. There were so many things about my style which I hadn’t even thought about or considered changing. People have actually commented about how much better I look and my times speak for themselves. I have taken 1m10 off my 10K PB to get it to 42.03 and have run a course PB on pretty much every summer series run I do, including 1m40 off a 4.4m hilly route where my previous PB was set in 2010
CrossFit Full Body MOT
The physiotherapists at CSPC are experienced in assessing and treating CrossFit athletes on a regular basis.
CrossFit is a unique sport in that it uses various movements and exercises which are executed at high intensity and high load. The physiotherapists at CSPC understand the demands that CrossFit WOD’s (Work Out of the Day) and competitions place on the body and are passionate about injury prevention and helping each athlete perform at their best on a daily basis.
During the CrossFit MOT, the physiotherapist will look at your body from head to toe assessing strength, flexibility, stability, proprioception, biomechanics, breathing, functional movement and lifting technique. The physiotherapists recognise that ensuring correct lifting technique during CrossFit workouts from the first rep to the last is essential to prevent injury. Their keen eye can see when your lifting technique or movement pattern is not up to scratch. Poor technique is often a result of reduced flexibility, which prevents the correct movement being performed even when the strength is there. Those are the little things that can cause injuries in the future or maybe holding you back on your PBs.
During the session the physiotherapist will assess the key movements that you are required to perform during CrossFit sessions, focusing on the areas you may be struggling with and analyse your technique, strength and conditioning. Video analysis of your lifting techniques may also be used during the CrossFit Full Body MOT session to ensure nothing is missed and technique can then be reviewed. It may also be helpful to bring some videos of yourself during a WOD when you are working at max effort to show the physiotherapist what happens when you are not so fresh.
The clinic has an equipped gym including a squat rack with an Olympic bar and weights where the physiotherapist can analyse your movements and, can show you how to improve your body to help better your movements and reduce the risk of injury in the future.
Areas we look at in your CrossFit MOT
After your CrossFit MOT, your physiotherapist will be able to prescribe a personal exercise plan and advice on how to improve technique.

Get Active Full Body MOT
We recognise the challenge of returning to or taking up exercise for the first time, so we have developed a ‘Get Active’ Full Body MOT to help people get back being active, without their body letting them down and preventing them from enjoying exercise.
Where do you start?
Our Get Active Full Body MOT is designed with active, soon-to-be active, and recently active people in mind. We assess where you are now and help you work towards an achievable fitness level, whether it is a reduction in pain and improved function so you can run around with the children; improving strength and flexibility, to enable you to become fitter and to stay active healthily; or returning to earlier levels of activity.
After your CrossFit MOT, your physiotherapist will be able to prescribe a personal exercise plan and advice on how to improve technique.
