Running Recovery in St Johns, Woking

Support your body between runs, reduce niggles, and feel more confident in your training with running‑specific recovery at My Complete Health in St Johns, Woking.

Our Running Recovery support is delivered through our existing Strength & Rehab sessions, led by Coach Kat at our clinic on St Johns Road.

What Is Running Recovery?

Running Recovery is for runners who want their body to cope better with the demands of training, not just “get through” each week.

Instead of focusing only on rest or massage, we use a mix of:

  • Targeted strength work
  • Control and stability exercises
  • Mobility focused on key running areas
  • Simple guidance around load and recovery between sessions

The aim is to help you:

  • Settle down niggles before they become bigger issues
  • Support areas that are tight, overloaded or vulnerable
  • Build resilience so you can enjoy your running for longer

How It Links To Strength & Rehab

Running Recovery at My Complete Health is delivered through our Strength & Rehab sessions, so you don’t need to find a different type of appointment.

Strength & Rehab sessions already focus on:

  • Rebuilding strength, control and confidence after injury or time off
  • Supporting your spine and joints so you can move well again
  • Using exercise, mobility and rehab rather than just hands‑on treatment

For runners, we simply tailor this towards:

  • The demands of your current training
  • The niggles or problem areas you’re noticing on runs
  • The distances, paces and goals you’re working towards

So when you book Strength & Rehab and tell us you’re a runner, we shape the session as a Running Recovery session for you.

Who Is Running Recovery For?

Running Recovery is a good fit if you are:

Training for a 5k, 10k, half marathon or beyond
Building up distance again after time off
Returning from injury and unsure how to progress
Feeling more sore or tight than usual between runs
Noticing the same niggles appearing each block of training

You don’t need to be fast or experienced – this is for anyone who runs and wants their body to feel better supported.

What We Can Help With

Common things we help runners with include:

Tight calves, hamstrings, glutes or hips
“Heavy legs” that don’t freshen up between runs
Knees, ankles or backs that feel vulnerable as training builds
Confidence after injury or a long break from running

In Running Recovery‑focused Strength & Rehab sessions we can:

  • Look at how you move in key running patterns
  • Use strength and control exercises to support problem areas
  • Help you adjust training and recovery in a realistic way
  • Give you a small, manageable plan to use between runs

What to expect in a session:

Your Running Recovery session (booked as Strength & Rehab) will usually include:

A short chat about your running – distances, goals, recent training and how you’re feeling.

A movement‑based assessment focused on the hips, knees, ankles and trunk.

Targeted strength and control work matched to your level and current training.

Simple, practical guidance on how to balance running, recovery and rehab.

You’ll leave with:

  • A clearer idea of what your body needs right now
  • 2–4 focused exercises or habits to work on
  • A plan to build things up gradually, rather than starting again each time something flares

Why Runners Choose My Complete Health:

At My Complete Health we’re passionate about helping people recover from injuries, enhance performance, and reach their full potential.

For runners, that means:

  • Expert Strength & Rehab support with Coach Kat, who regularly works with runners and active people
  • A joined‑up approach alongside chiropractic care, sports massage and running coaching where helpful
  • Real‑world advice that fits around your work, family and training, not a perfect‑world schedule

If you’d like your body to feel better supported between runs – not just when something goes wrong,  we’d be happy to help you put a Running Recovery plan in place.

I was suffering with chronic pain in my hip and was walking with great discomfort. I was recommended Matthew at The Complete Health in St John’s . After a thorough consultation and body/ joint check, I was relieved to be told it wasn’t arthritis. After a few sessions with Matthew and recommended take home exercises I am glad to say I am now pain free and walking normally. Thank you so much .

Absolute game changer. I have been suffering on and off with my lower back and hips for years and other practitioners only ever dealt with the issues reactively. Matt gave me some exercises as a proactive measure that help keep the issues at bay. He provides a holistic treatment that not only looks at the issue at hand, but gets to the route cause. Highly recommend him. He is funny too so makes your session more relaxed 😊

After working with Kat over the last few months through the online coaching, I've been able to push for multiple PBs! Kat's always been super accommodating and understanding as to my life outside of running and made the plan work very well! Super knowledgeable in everything running and highly recommended! Thanks Kat!

Absolutely brilliant experience with Matt! He is professional, friendly, and an expert in what he does. I feel much better after our sessions which helps me continue all my sports. Also, a special shout-out to Emma on reception, who is always so welcoming. Highly recommended!

Unbelievable. I’ve seen many many chiropractors over the years & Matt is hands down the most knowledgeable I’ve ever seen. He is SO SO good at what he does, explains everything in a way I understand, hands on, practical & realistic. After my first session, months of pain had dissipated & my body was moving far more freely than it was. I would highly recommend to anybody thinking about seeing the team at My Complete Health.

Katherine from My Complete health has been a godsend on my return to running. Having run at quite a competitive level previously I set her quite a tall order. She gave me the confidence and knowledge to execute my challenge but not only that she brought the fun back too. I would highly recommend her and My Complete health for both rehab and or sports guidance.

I've been seeing Dr Hewitson for a few months after ignoring SI Joint pain, his manipulation of the Joint restored movement quickly and effectively and gave me the advice to understand and tackle the underlying issues in the long term :D A really nice friendly clinic too!
