Running Analysis

What does it include?

Your assessment may include:

• Video analysis of your running gait
• Evaluation of cadence, stride length and foot-strike pattern
• Assessment of posture and running mechanics
• Strength and flexibility testing
• Balance and single-leg stability assessment
• Joint mobility evaluation
• Running shoe assessment
• Training load and running history review

How can it help?

Running analysis helps identify movement patterns and training factors that may contribute to pain or reduced performance. Potential benefits include:

• Improved running efficiency
• Reduced risk of overuse injuries
• Better running mechanics
• Improved strength and movement control
• Enhanced running performance
• Personalized return-to-running plans after injury
• Guidance on training progression and recovery
• Education on footwear and injury-prevention strategies

Every runner is unique. Recommendations are based on your individual goals, injury history, training volume and physical assessment — not on achieving a single "perfect" running style.

What to expect

During your appointment, your physiotherapist will assess how you move both on and off the treadmill, and slow-motion video may be used to evaluate your mechanics from multiple angles. Following your assessment you'll receive personalized recommendations that may include running-technique modifications, strengthening and mobility exercises, warm-up and recovery strategies, training-load management, a return-to-running progression, and footwear recommendations when indicated.
