Gait Analysis
Whether your goal is to improve your speed, enhance endurance, minimize fatigue, or achieve a combination of these, a Running Gait Analysis provides in-depth insights into the mechanics of your running performance. This advanced assessment captures detailed data points related to your running economy, stride efficiency, biomechanics, and other key factors that influence your overall athletic ability.
Beyond performance enhancement, a Running Gait Analysis is also a valuable tool for injury prevention and rehabilitation. By identifying potential inefficiencies or imbalances in your running form, this analysis can pinpoint movement patterns that may be contributing to discomfort, pain, or an increased risk of injury. Addressing these issues early can help you develop a more efficient, sustainable, and injury-resistant running technique.
Whether you’re an experienced runner aiming to fine-tune your mechanics, a recreational jogger looking to run more comfortably, or an athlete recovering from an injury, a Running Gait Analysis can provide the critical insights needed to optimize your movement and achieve your running goals. Our expert team will guide you through the findings and recommend personalized adjustments, exercises, or interventions to help you perform at your best while reducing the risk of future setbacks.
What to Expect
We utilize gait analysis to optimize performance and to problem-solve running injuries. For runners who are currently working through pain, we encourage a Physical Therapy consultation and then a running gait analysis to help foster a seamless return to run. For athletes that are looking to optimize performance or learn more about improving running economy, we encourage starting with a running gait analysis.
Injury Diagnostics:
- Knee, ankle, and hip pain
- Tendonitis and plantar fasciitis
- Recovery from stress fractures and repetitive strain injuries
- Overuse injuries due to poor running mechanics
Performance Optimization:
- Inefficient stride patterns
- Poor running economy
- Aches and pains limiting performance
- Lack of speed or endurance progress
