If you’re dealing with recurring injuries, feeling inefficient, or simply want to run stronger and faster, a gait analysis and run assessment can give you the insights you need to improve.
Even small imbalances in foot function, pronation timing, hip stability, and overall biomechanics can lead to wasted energy and increased injury risk. By understanding how your body moves, we can make the necessary tweaks to help you run more efficiently, reduce strain, and unlock your true potential.
1. Foot Function & Posture Assessment
Your feet are the foundation of your run. I’ll assess how they function, focusing on pronation and supination timing to see how well your body absorbs and transfers force. Poor shock absorption or inefficient foot movement can lead to overuse injuries and energy loss. I’ll also conduct a Foot Posture Index assessment, which helps identify whether structural imbalances in the feet could be affecting your stride.
2. Hip & Lower Limb Biomechanics Check
Your feet don’t work in isolation—your hips and legs play a huge role in how you run. I’ll assess whether any weaknesses, misalignments, or movement restrictions in the hips are impacting how your feet land and push off. Addressing hip function can be a game-changer for runners looking to improve efficiency and prevent injuries.
3. Video Treadmill Run Assessment
This is where we break down your running mechanics in real-time. I’ll capture video footage of your run on the treadmill, analysing key elements such as:
✅ Stride mechanics – Are you overstriding or running efficiently?
✅ Cadence & ground contact time – Are you spending too much time on the ground?
✅ Foot strike & propulsion – How well do you generate power and absorb impact?
✅ Posture & alignment – Are your hips, knees, and feet working together optimally?
Best done when fatigued – Running form often deteriorates under fatigue, which is why this assessment is ideal after a long training session when any weaknesses or inefficiencies are more noticeable.
Following your gait analysis, you’ll receive a detailed breakdown of your results, along with a personalised action plan to correct inefficiencies and improve your running mechanics.
This may include technique adjustments, drills, strength and mobility exercises, or footwear recommendations tailored to your needs.
