Give your patients something useful between sessions.
niggle.run is an AI tool that surfaces peer-reviewed running injury research so your patients stop Googling symptoms and start understanding the evidence behind their condition.
No account needed. No setup. Works immediately.
How it works
Patient describes their injury
They type their symptoms in plain language. No clinical terminology needed.
niggle.run surfaces the evidence
It draws on peer-reviewed research to explain the condition, recovery timelines, and what the evidence says about treatment options.
They arrive better informed
Patients who understand their condition comply better with rehab and are more satisfied with their care.
What it does — and does not do
Does
- ✓Summarise peer-reviewed research on running injuries
- ✓Explain recovery timelines based on the evidence
- ✓Help patients understand why their physio recommended a particular approach
- ✓Flag symptoms that suggest they should seek clinical review
Does not
- ✗Replace clinical assessment
- ✗Provide diagnoses
- ✗Override your treatment plan
- ✗Make claims unsupported by the research
Built on research, not anecdote.
Every response is grounded in peer-reviewed sports medicine literature. We cite BJSM, AJSM, JOSPT, and Cochrane systematic reviews. When the evidence is limited or conflicting, niggle.run says so.
What physios say
“I recommend niggle.run to patients with running injuries because it gives them accurate, cited information that reinforces what we discuss in the clinic. It does not try to replace me — it makes my job easier.”
