PhysioFit Physio and Pilates Studio is delighted to present “Start Now, Finish Strong!”, an innovative program targeting runners over 40 with injury concerns. This program aims to offer a customised solution for recurring running injuries and the pursuit of pain-free running.
Founder Alexandra Johnson, who has over 15 years of professional experience in physiotherapy, is also an experienced competitive triathlete. Johnson graduated with a 2:1 BSc in Physiotherapy from St George’s Medical University. Her career spans over a decade in the NHS and six years in private practice, specialising in sports injuries of the musculoskeletal system.
Johnson herself copes with Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome, a rare vascular condition affecting her leg, which restricts walking beyond 20 minutes without a special medical compression stocking. Despite this, she has completed demanding events like the Marathon des Sables, 2x 70.3 Ironman World Championships, and the New York and London Marathons, dealing with severe pain, blood clots, muscle weakness, and balance problems.
A significant cycling accident in January 2017, involving multiple injuries, pushed Johnson to seek beyond standard physiotherapy methods to find effective running rehabilitation techniques.
With “Start Now, Finish Strong!”, Johnson introduces a program that goes beyond generic methods, especially catering to the needs of individuals over 40. This eight-week online course focuses on physical and mental fitness, rehabilitation, joint mobility, strength, sleep, nutrition, and specific exercises to combat typical running injuries. Stephen Taylor’s journey, overcoming a chronic Achilles issue to return to pain-free running in just eight weeks, highlights the program’s success.
Johnson’s over £10,000 investment in business coaching underscores her commitment to assist runners over 40 in overcoming similar challenges.
In Johnson’s words: “I passionately believe that being over 40 does not equate to giving up on running or enduring pain. With the right approach, understanding, and techniques, individuals can not only resume running but do so better and stronger, embracing a new lease on life.”
