so it does not happen again
What is happening
Understanding your pain comes first.
Lanzarote attracts runners, triathletes, cyclists and surfers all year round, and training camps or race weeks often mean a sudden jump in load. Poor load progression, fatigue or an old injury that never fully healed are the usual culprits.
We do not stop at easing the pain: we assess the injury, plan your return in stages and test that you are ready before you race again.
What we treat
- Muscle strains and tears
- Ankle and knee sprains
- Runner’s knee and shin pain
- Achilles and patellar tendon pain
- Shoulder pain from surfing and racket sports
- Recovery during training camps and race weeks

What the evidence says
For many muscle and ligament injuries, early and progressive loading leads to better outcomes than prolonged rest.
FAQ

Can I keep training while I am treated?+
