“After a serious injury, I went into my most recent marathon training cycle discouraged and honestly afraid of getting sidelined again. Every time my mileage increased, the same chronic patellar tendon pain would flare up, and I started wondering if I was ever going to be able to train at the level I wanted without paying for it. Working with Mara at Runner’s Academy completely changed that. From the very first assessment, she went above and beyond--taking the time not only to understand what was happening, but to explain the rationale behind each exercise and recommendation. This helped me understand the physics of my body mechanics, which meant I wasn’t just following a rehab plan blindly, I was learning to make smarter decisions on a day to day basis. More than the specific exercises and tweaks, one of the most valuable things Mara gave me was confidence. She helped me understand the difference between pain that was safe to run through vs pain that wasn't, which made it possible to keep training without constantly second-guessing myself. She also made some slight changes to my running form so I could better use the ground and my Achilles for momentum instead of overloading my knees. Her approach helped me realize that I wasn’t as fragile or unprepared as I felt, I just needed to train smarter, not harder. It wasn’t easy, but in the end, I ran a 28-minute marathon PB, and for the first time, I crossed the finish line without the usual crippling knee pain afterward. I genuinely can’t recommend Runner’s Academy highly enough. Huge thanks in particular to Mara!”Read moreShow less

“Anthony and Lindsay at The Runners Academy have been an incredible help to me and the athletes I coach. They go far beyond the scope of a typical physio, combining great manual therapy with a deep knowledge of running mechanics and gait analysis. It’s been a huge asset having them as a resource. I’d strongly recommend them to anyone in the Hamilton area.”Read moreShow less

“I've worked with Lindsay and Kelly over the past year and both are amazing! I initially came to see Lindsay for a gait analysis (which was very helpful), but unfortunately experienced an unrelated injury that really messed up some nerves in my legs and hips. At that point I moved over to Kelly and she did a great job of figuring out what was actually causing my issues and coming up with a treatment plan that got me back to 100%. Kelly was extremely knowledgeable and would patiently explain what she was doing and why, which I really appreciated. As a bonus, she also managed to fix some shoulder pain that I'd be dealing with for over a year... I briefly mentioned it one session, and Kelly quickly figured out what might be causing it and what exercises might help and within a few minutes I was pain-free (she really knows her stuff!). If you're dealing with nagging injuries or are a runner who wants to take things to the next level, I'd strongly recommend checking out The Runner's Academy!”Read moreShow less

“I’m really pleased with my experience at The Runner’s Academy in Hamilton. I saw Lindsay after dealing with some nagging Achilles pain that lingered despite visits to other physios. Her attention to detail, knowledge, and empathy truly stood out. After the initial visit, I was already feeling significantly better. I really appreciate how she goes above and beyond and genuinely cares about her clients. I can’t recommend them enough for any running-related needs!”Read moreShow less

“I came in with some pain and discomfort walking and was amazed by the difference after just one session. Mara my physiotherapist thoroughly explained my injury, gave me a clear recovery plan, and taught me what to do (and what not to do) to heal faster. I left feeling so much better and finally comfortable. Highly recommend!”Read moreShow less

“Love Runners Academy, they have helped me with my running +++ Lindsay is knowledgeable, personable, and kind. Her advice and support has helped me get through the peaks of training, and peak for my best race experiences! Runners academy has helped me to keep the joy of running in focus, and possible! I have also benefitted from their instagram posts that keep me informed of evidence to support my best training as well. I could go on and on. I am so grateful their support! Thank you Lindsay and team!”Read moreShow less

“The Running Academy has been a true gem of a find. Lindsay is amazing. Her attention to detail is incredible. I LOVE the integration of clinical and running expertise being offered in one place. Lindsay made a huge initial impact after doing a fair analysis and correcting my stride. Discomfort in my knee resolved almost right away. We have since worked on other running techniques and strength training to improve my biomechanics, mobility and running economy. My running has already improved significantly and I can't wait to see how much more improvement I can gain with their support.”Read moreShow less
