If you're healthy just leave it alone. 99% of the running community will tell you to change XYZ but only 1% of them actually have any idea what they're talking about. When you make one change to your stride it will change everything else, and that can be a bad thing.
​
Find a running biomechanics expert if you're really interested in making changes. Alternatively, consider picking up a copy of Your Best Stride, which is a compilation of expert's suggestions.
This sucks so bad!
Good to hear that you are seeing a physio — you’ll get better advice from a professional than from reddit.
The one thing I would recommend along with that is to work on your running form to try to avoid further injuries in the future. I found this really helpful, and have just started reading Your Best Stride which (so far!) has been very interesting.
Good luck!
There is a lot you can do to improve running form (Your Best Stride is a great book from Runner's World). But the general opinion of the running community (not everyone, but the majority) is that the minimalist shoe running fad is not the way to go for injury prevention.
Focus on form, not trying to do more miles than you are currently capable of, cross-training, and for some, body work (like massage or foam rolling). Shoes are important, but try going to a running specialty store to get shoes that are right for how you run.
