Watch: The Sling Method™ — Running Injury Rehabilitation, by Paul Howell

Why You're Still Injured

You've tried everything.
And it's not working.

You're bamboozled with free information from everywhere that doesn't work. Stretching, planks, RICE, physio — you've done it all. And you're still injured.

Here's the truth: You can squat, plank, and stretch completely pain-free. If those things were fixing your running injury, they would have by now. Running injuries require running-specific movement retraining.

The Sling Method™ is different. We focus on the movement of running — because THAT is what you're struggling with.

The Sling Method™ Process

How? Why? What?

Three steps. No guessing. No generic programmes. A deep, personalised process that finds exactly why you keep getting injured — and fixes it.

Step 1 — HOW

How you run

Not a running shop treadmill scan. A full slow-motion gait assessment — every joint, every segment, every movement pattern exposed and analysed.

Step 2 — WHY

Why you move that way

Bad running form is a symptom. We assess posture, mobility, fascial tension, and neuromuscular patterns to find the root cause — never just the surface.

Step 3 — WHAT

What we're going to change

A specific, progressive programme built entirely around the movement of running. Every drill, every cue, every exercise — designed for your injury, your body.

Running Injuries We Fix

If it stops you running, we can help

Every injury below has a root cause in how you move. We identify and retrain exactly that — not the symptom, the movement fault causing it.

Creator, The Sling Method™
About the Creator

Built by a runner who spent $40,000 failing to get better.

Paul spent years injured — trying every physio, every treatment, every tool. Nothing worked. So he studied biomechanics, fascia science, gait analysis, and Spinal Engine Theory — and built The Sling Method™ from the ground up. He now coaches runners worldwide to the results that once eluded him.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does The Sling Method work if I've had my injury for years?+
Yes. Many students have had chronic, recurring injuries for 2–5+ years before finding The Sling Method. Chronic injuries are almost always the result of an ongoing movement fault — and movement faults can be retrained at any age.
Do I need any equipment?+
The core course uses resistance bands and everyday items. Some advanced modules use a Torque Bar (you can make your own — instructions included). No gym membership needed.
Can I do this if I'm currently injured and can't run?+
Absolutely — the programme is designed for injured runners. The early stages focus on movement retraining that can be done pain-free. Running is reintroduced progressively as your movement improves.
Is this available worldwide?+
Yes. Everything is online — courses, gait analysis, and coaching are all delivered remotely. We have students in over 40 countries.
How is this different from physiotherapy?+
Physio typically treats the injury site with generic strengthening. The Sling Method™ focuses exclusively on running movement — assessing your gait, posture, and fascial tension to find and fix the root cause. Most students have already seen multiple physios without resolution.
What does lifetime access mean?+
Once you purchase the course, you own it forever. No subscriptions. You can revisit the material any time — whether you pick up a new injury or want a refresher before a race.
