Healthcare partnership • About us • Run 4 It
When we set about establishing the core values upon which Run 4 It was to be founded, we saw forming synergistic partnerships with like-minded practitioners as being at its heart. We initially worked in tandem with podiatrists and massage therapists by enlisting them to help train and educate us and our staff. As soon as the opportunity arose, they started working in-store with our customers and four years down the line we still have all our staff trained by podiatrists. In our Aberdeen and Glasgow City shops we have dedicated treatment rooms used by a variety of practitioners from nutritionists through to physiotherapists and podiatrists. In our Edinburgh and Glasgow Tiso stores, we try to have set times where podiatrists come and work on the shop floor as part of an initial consultation.
We are always trying to innovate and progress in this area. We feel that with our current partners, we are establishing a great service for our customers and staff alike.
