Our approach

We believe successful rehabilitation starts with understanding the whole person not just the injury.

Accelerate Physiotherapy is an independent physiotherapy practice based in Derby, specialising in the assessment and treatment of running-related injuries. We primarily work with runners, but also support other active adults and people involved in a wide range of sports and physical activities.

We provide one-to-one, personalised care in a low-volume setting, allowing time to understand your injury, training background, and goals.

Running informed assessment

Our assessments are shaped by the specific demands of running. We look beyond symptoms to understand training load, recovery, strength, and how these factors interact over time.

Although our expertise is in running-related injury, the same principles apply to other sports and activities, and our approach is adapted accordingly.

Keeping runners running

Many runners are advised to stop running completely when pain develops. While this is sometimes necessary, it is often possible to stay active with the right adjustments.

Where it is safe to do so, we aim to keep runners running by modifying load, building strength and capacity, and using a structured, progressive return to running when needed.

Clear expectations and shared decisions

We place a strong emphasis on explanation and education. Understanding what is happening, why symptoms may be present, and what influences recovery as this helps reduce uncertainty and supports confident decision-making.

Rehabilitation plans are discussed and agreed together, with realistic expectations around recovery times and outcomes.

If you'd like to discuss a running injury, sports injury, or any other musculoskeletal problem, we'd love to help you get back to doing what you enjoy.
