Running Analysis

Video-Based Gait Biomechanics to Enhance Efficiency and Prevent Running Injuries

Our specialized Running Analysis program is designed for runners of all levels—from beginners completing their first 5K to elite marathon competitors. Utilizing advanced, high-speed video analysis and functional movement tracking, our clinical specialists capture your unique gait cycle from multiple angles to isolate subtle mechanical errors. This detailed screening looks directly at your foot strike, cadence, pelvic stability, and joint alignment to identify hidden muscle imbalances or structural overloads that could be limiting your speed or causing recurrent pain.

By converting raw video data into actionable biomechanical insights, our physical therapists pinpoint exactly why you might be experiencing issues like shin splints, runner's knee, or plantar fasciitis. Following your evaluation, we provide a highly structured, patient-specific protocol that combines real-time gait retraining, targeted mobility drills, and run-specific strength training. This data-driven approach shifts your running mechanics away from damaging compensation habits, helping you maximize your running efficiency and achieve lasting, pain-free performance.

Best physical therapy ever! I have been to many places trying to find help. Darren listened, researched, and didn't give up until he finally figured out how to relieve me of my symptoms! Dalton front desk is always so helpful in scheduling and whatever else you need to know! Jen and Annie are also so qualified to help your physical therapy needs.
