What is GAIT Analysis & Running Assessment?
GAIT Analysis involves a detailed evaluation of your walking and running patterns to assess how your body moves. Our trained specialists use advanced technology to analyze various factors such as stride length, cadence, and overall biomechanics. This comprehensive assessment helps identify any abnormalities or inefficiencies that could lead to injuries and allows us to develop a personalized plan tailored to your unique needs.

Our assessment process includes:
- Initial Consultation: A one-on-one discussion where we gather information about your running history, any current issues, and your fitness goals.
- Visual and Physical Examination: A thorough examination of your posture, flexibility, strength, and overall movement patterns.
- Video Analysis: We use video technology to capture your gait and running form from multiple angles, providing a detailed view of your biomechanics.
- Personalized Report: After the analysis, we provide a comprehensive report outlining our findings and recommendations, including any necessary exercises or modifications to your running technique.
- Follow-Up Sessions: Ongoing support to track your progress, adjust your program, and ensure you’re on the right path to achieving your goals.
