A Running Gait Analysis is a one-on-one in person assessment that includes an in-depth assessment of running history, mechanics, mobility, strength, and footwear as well as a video analysis of the athlete’s running form on the treadmill. The therapist will analyze and discuss the footage with you, and, if required, will work with you in-session to initiate and suggest possible changes. Your physio may also incorporate strength and/or flexibility work to help you achieve the specific goals set in the appointment.
