Common Running Injuries & Why Cross-Training Matters More Than You Think
At Evado Studios, we’re seeing more and more runners. Some are chasing personal bests, others hoping to cross the finish line injury-free. As physiotherapists, we love seeing our clients move well and perform at their best.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS)
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) refers to a multifactorial pathogenesis that leads to pain in and around the patella in the absence of other pathology.
