A gait analysis is a systematic assessment of how a person walks or runs. Our gait analysis appointments are completed by our trained Physical Therapists. It typically involves observing various aspects of movement, such as stride length, speed, and biomechanical faults. This is completed with a slow motion video, with research in mind. The goal is to identify any abnormalities or inefficiencies in movement that could lead to injury or impact performance. There may be exercises prescribed based on what is found to help assist your running form.
