How Front Runner Physio can help triathletes

Triathlon combines swimming, cycling, and running — three endurance sports with very different physical demands. This mix creates unique challenges for the body, including overuse injuries, biomechanical inefficiencies, and load-management issues.

Specialist physiotherapy helps athletes train consistently, recover effectively, and improve performance by addressing injury risk factors and tailoring treatment to each discipline. 

Our physiotherapists combine clinical expertise with advanced swim, bike, and run assessments to deliver evidence-based treatment, rehabilitation, and performance programs tailored for triathletes.
