Running Gait Analysis
Signature Service

Running Gait Analysis

Our Running Gait Analysis provides a detailed evaluation of your running mechanics to identify biomechanical inefficiencies that may increase injury risk or reduce performance.

The process begins with a movement assessment examining mobility, flexibility, strength, and stability. We then use video technology to capture objective data on your stride and cadence.

Our physical therapists identify movement patterns contributing to injuries, guiding you through corrections and strength exercises to:

Improve efficiency
Reduce injury risk
Optimize stride
Enhance performance

Running Injury Prevention

We will NEVER tell you to stop running

At ProForm Physical Therapy, injury prevention is one of our top priorities. Our goal is to help runners stay active while addressing the underlying factors that often lead to injuries. Through our running gait analysis and physical therapy evaluation, we identify movement limitations and training errors that may increase injury risk.

Many common running injuries are preventable, including:

Shin splints
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendon pain
Stress fractures & Runner's knee

We also provide guidance on:

Proper training progression & Recovery strategies
Footwear selection & Load management

Because once your foot hits the ground thousands of times per run, biomechanics matter.

Strength Training for Runners

Strength Training
for Runners

Strength training is one of the most effective ways to improve running performance and reduce injury risk, yet many runners focus exclusively on mileage. At ProForm Physical Therapy, we integrate runner-specific strength training to support better mechanics and more resilient muscles.

Targeted strength work improves:

Hip & Glute
Stability & Efficiency
Core
Control & Force
Force
Production & Power
Fatigue
Resistance

Stronger muscles allow runners to maintain better form as fatigue sets in, absorb impact forces more effectively, and generate more power with every stride. When properly integrated, it is one of the most powerful tools for long-term success.
