Running Gait Analysis 

This analysis provides a detailed evaluation of running form, identifying biomechanical issues that may increase injury risk and reduce efficiency.

 

The assessment begins with an evaluation of foundational movements including mobility, flexibility, and strength. This is followed by a video-based running gait analysis using advanced movement assessment technology to capture objective data. These insights help assess gait efficiency and guide runners in refining their form and training regimen to optimize mechanics, minimize injury risk, and enhance overall performance.

Injury Prevention

Injury prevention is a top priority for our runners, and we’ll never tell you that you can’t run! By focusing on proactive strategies, you can continue enjoying the benefits of running and an active lifestyle.

 

Common running injuries like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and stress fractures are often preventable with proper training, nutrition, and biomechanics.

 

Our gait analysis along with our initial evaluation provides valuable insights to help reduce injury risk. We also emphasize the importance of proper footwear, because once your foot hits the ground, everything changes.

Strength Training

Strength training is essential for improving running biomechanics and reducing injury risk. Many runners focus solely on running, often overlooking the benefits of strength training.

 

By targeting key muscle groups, strength training enhances stability and control, leading to more efficient movement. It also boosts force production and delays fatigue, ultimately improving running mechanics, minimizing injury risk, and enhancing overall performance. When integrated into a training program, strength training becomes a powerful tool for long-term success.

Run Coaching & Programming

 

After completing the foundational mobility and strength assessment, along with the running gait and video analysis, we provide targeted coaching to enhance performance and refine running mechanics.

 

We also create a personalized training plan through our custom app, featuring a daily workout schedule and an individualized strength program designed to improve running mechanics and address specific weaknesses.
