Every Saturday morning, runners of all experience levels gather at River Valley Park for a free, timed 5K.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just looking to stay active, keeping your body injury-free is key to enjoying your run—and that starts with good movement and spinal alignment.
Why Chiropractic Matters for Runners
Running—especially on repetitive terrain—puts a consistent load on your joints and spine. If your gait is off or your posture isn’t ideal, even a casual jog can lead to discomfort in your knees, hips, or lower back. Over time, this can affect performance and increase the risk of injury.
Dr. Stuart Kelly, a chiropractor with a background in competitive football and personal rehab experience, offers gait assessments and movement-based care to help you run smarter—not just harder.
How Chiropractic Supports Safe Running
Dr. Kelly focuses on detecting spinal misalignments and imbalances that can interfere with your running form. Gentle, personalised adjustments help:
- Improve stride mechanics
- Ease muscle tension
- Support quicker recovery between runs
He also recommends warm-up routines like dynamic stretches for your hips and core, along with post-run cooldowns to aid recovery.
