Learning to run seems like a complete oxymoron to most people. Isn’t running something you just pick up?

Easy Running

Running is easy to get into but a little coaching is often required to do it effectively and avoid injury.

A couple of simple tips can give you a real boost when you are starting out. And if you are looking to improve your PB or even competing at a higher level it can make all the difference.

At Bolton Osteopathic Clinic, Alex can teach you the basics and get you moving better. With a short course (six weeks), you can feel a big difference in how you move. Small changes can reduce your energy input and improve your efficiency.

Example

This video shows a couple of runners and their marked improvement through following the training. They put in the effort doing homework and enjoyed the rewards. Some of the muscular reprogramming movements are shown too as a taster.

Book a course

Book yourself in to get the same kind of improvements in your own running technique. Get back to enjoying it again and avoid injury.

Alex Green (BSc Hons Ost. D.N. D.O. F.S.C.C.O. CRTS) has spent 25 years doing one thing exceptionally well: helping people leave in less pain than when they arrived, and making sure they stay that way. He combines the clinical depth of osteopathy with Dynamic Movement Skills training to treat the whole picture, not just the symptom in front of him, but the patterns and underlying causes that created it in the first place. That philosophy shapes everything about how Manchester & Bolton Osteopathic Clinic operates. Rather than managing pain on a session-by-session basis, Alex works to resolve it, restore movement, and then equip patients with the tools to maintain their own health long term. It is an approach that has earned the clinic recognition as the best osteopathic practice in the UK for three consecutive years from 2017, a Patient Care Excellence Award for both 2024 and 2025, and Best Osteopathic Clinic 2025, alongside a string of other accolades in between. These awards reflect what patients already know from their own experience: this is a clinician running a clinic that genuinely cares about getting it right. Never content to stand still, Alex is continuously expanding his knowledge and professional skills, always looking for the next improvement in both clinical outcomes and patient experience. As a father of five, ranging from 5 to 22 years old, he brings that same driven, caring, and deeply practical mindset to every patient he sees, whatever their age or condition.
