Improve your running technique with a Runner’s MOT
Every January, countless runners lace up with new goals, from completing a first 5K to achieving a marathon personal best. But by spring, many resolutions have faded… often because of injuries, pain, or loss of motivation.
At First Line Physio, we want this to be the year you keep your running goals, not give them up. That’s why we’re offering the Runner’s MOT: a complete, evidence-based assessment designed specifically for runners who want to run stronger, stay pain-free, and reach their full potential.
What Is a Runner’s MOT?
Think of it as a full-body service for runners, just like you’d service your car before a long journey.
We will assess every key aspect of your running performance and injury risk using the latest research in sports medicine and biomechanics.
Your session will include:
Detailed movement, posture, and strength assessment
Visual gait and running form analysis
Shoe and training load review
Balance, mobility, and stability tests
Personalised advice and injury prevention plan
Why should you have a Runner’s MOT?
Research shows that up to 75% of runners experience injuries every year, most of which are preventable.
Common culprits include:
Sudden training load increases
Weaknesses in key muscle groups
Altered biomechanics or running form
Inappropriate footwear
The Runner’s MOT identifies these risks early — so you can correct them before they become injuries.
Who is a Runner’s MOT for?
New runners starting their training journey
Experienced runners chasing PBs or higher mileage
Runners returning after injury
Anyone who wants to stay consistent and avoid setbacks
Whether you’re a road runner, trail enthusiast, or triathlete, this assessment is tailored to your specific needs. If your New Year’s resolution is to run more, run faster, or run pain-free — this is the perfect place to start. Book your Runner’s MOT and take control of your running health.
Make this the year you run strong, stay consistent, and achieve every goal you set!
