The NHS is under unprecedented strain, it is under the most pressure it has ever been in it’s existence (British Medical Association, 2023). The Get Back Running Project is a plan to help alleviate some of the strain it is under by helping runners to quiz their symptoms online and locate underlying biomechanic issues to improve key strength and flexibility at home which will alleviate the strain on the joint.
Approximately 70% of runners experience injuries related to overuse every year and many of these do not require surgical intervention or orthosis, they just require treatment at home and biomechanic work to correct atypical foot pronation and inadequate hip muscle stabilisation (Ferber et al., 2009).
hile our self-diagnosis quiz aims to provide guidance, it’s essential to understand its limitations. Only a qualified medical practitioner can accurately diagnose your condition. The questions on this website are designed to steer you towards potential diagnoses based on common overuse injuries for otherwise healthy runners. However, without a comprehensive medical history review and a physical examination, it’s impossible to pinpoint the exact cause of your discomfort.
If you’re experiencing any concerns or uncertainties, it’s crucial to seek a professional clinician’s evaluation. While this tool can offer insights based on the most likely causation when assuming you’re a normally healthy runner, it’s not a complete substitute for professional medical advice.
Our goal is to assist you in identifying potential issues efficiently, saving both your time and the doctor’s. Whether it’s recommending further medical consultation or providing strategies for movement and pain management, our database aims to aid you in your journey so you can Get Back Running.
