Running assessment and gait analysis
A running assessment looks at how you move when you run, so recurring injuries and inefficiencies can be traced back to their cause.
A running and gait assessment maps what your body does under load, then gives you the few practical changes most likely to help you run more comfortably and with less injury risk. It suits first-time and social runners just as much as competitive ones.
Who it is for
- Runners with an injury that keeps coming back
- Anyone building up distance or training who wants to stay injury free
- Runners curious about footwear, cadence or technique
- People returning to running after an injury or a break
What it involves
- A history of your running, training load and any injuries
- A physical exam of strength, control and joint range
- Analysis of how you walk and run
- A short, prioritised plan: footwear, orthotics if useful, strength work and load guidance
What you walk away with
A clear picture of your running mechanics and a short list of changes that will make the biggest difference, in the order to tackle them.
Common questions
How serious a runner do I need to be?
Not at all. This is just as useful for a first-time or social runner as for a competitive one.
What should I bring?
Your current running shoes and running gear, and any older pairs if you have them.
Will I need orthotics?
Maybe, maybe not. Orthotics are only one possible outcome, alongside footwear, strength work and load changes.
