Osteopathy for Geelongs Running community
The only Geelong Osteopath built specifically for runners.
Running is simple in theory. One foot in front of the other. But anyone who runs knows it's rarely that simple — especially when something hurts, or when you're trying to get faster, go further, or stay consistent without breaking down.
Chace Rankin at Good Days Studio is Geelong's only osteopath with a dedicated focus on keeping runners on their feet. Whether you're training for your first 5K, building toward a marathon, or just trying to stay injury-free through your weekly parkrun, we understand what running demands of your body — and how to keep you doing it.
Common running injuries we treat
At Good Days Studio, we treat a range of common running related injuries including:
Knee pain: runner's knee (patellofemoral syndrome), IT band syndrome, patellar tendinopathy
Shin splints: medial tibial stress syndrome and compartment-related issues
Plantar fasciitis: heel and arch pain, particularly in higher-mileage runners
Achilles tendinopathy: load management and rehab
Hip and glute pain: glute med dysfunction, hip flexor tightness, SIJ-related issues
Lower back pain: running-related strain, disc issues, and referred leg pain
Stress reactions: early identification and management to prevent stress fractures
Overuse and fatigue injuries: any pain that builds gradually with training load
We dont just treat the injury: We look at the run
Most running injuries aren't random. They're the result of load mismanagement, movement patterns, or biomechanical factors that have been building quietly for weeks or months.
When you come to Good Days Studio with a running injury, we don't just treat where it hurts. We look at how you move, how you train, and what's actually driving the problem — so you can return to running confidently and stay there.
We work with you on:
Understanding your injury and what caused it
Hands-on treatment to reduce pain and restore function
Load management — how to train through (or around) injury
Return-to-run planning that's realistic for your goals
Long-term body maintenance so injuries stop being your normal
Running performance and injury prevention
You don't have to wait until something hurts. Many of our running clients come to us for regular maintenance — keeping their body moving well, catching small issues before they become big ones, and optimising how they recover between sessions.:
If you're building toward a race, increasing mileage, or just want to run for a long time without injury, this kind of proactive care makes a significant difference.
Book your running injury assessment
Your first session is a full 60-minute consultation.
We'll take a thorough running history, assess your movement, provide hands-on treatment, and leave you with a clear understanding of what's going on and what comes next.
