Osteopathic approach to runners' injuries and pain (part 2)

We are joined again by Dr Steve Dinneen (Osteopath), an elite runner, a Melbourne-based osteopath, running coach, business owner, husband and father.  Steve has competed at the state, national and international levels and works with professional runners as a coach and osteopath. Steve completed a Human Movement Sports Science degree before undertaking his osteopathic studies at RMIT University. He currently practices at Doncaster Osteopathic Clinic and, along with his wife Mel, established the Dinneen Runners squad and is part of the coaching team.  Anyone who watched the Tokyo Olympics men's marathon may have caught the interview with Liam Adams, who finished 24th and gave a shout-out to his osteopath Steve Dinneen, saying “He is incredible and keeps me injury-free”. This was a fantastic promotion for osteopathy in professional sports and personally for Steve.  In this second episode of our series of podcasts with Steve, he shares his treatment, management, biomechanical and technique considerations in some commonly encountered running injuries. Steve explores presentations involving: tibialis posterior gluteal muscles  the knee joint and iliotibial band (ITB) plantar fascia bone stress the Achilles tendon The content discussed in each episode is the participants' opinion only and should not be used as medical advice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
