Running Gait Analysis
Tailormade for runners with unique or complicated injuries they haven’t been able to resolve
Whether you’re a youth runner or a masters, an olympic trial qualifier or a newbie we cater our gait analysis to you and your current status as a healthy or injured runner.
WHY GET A GAIT ANALYSIS?
Injury Prevention - guidance on how to prevent running injuries before they occur
Injury Evaluation - better, measurable detail on why you’re having pain with running & clear steps to fix it
Return to Run Readiness - we can tell you if that injured side is holding up to the load of running and running at different speeds to guide your return to run post-injury
Performance Goals - fast runners have clear and repeatable patterns. Identifying yours could be the missing piece to improving running economy your next PR
Running Shoe Selection - gait analysis paired with musculoskeletal exam helps guide the decision of which shoe is best for you
Training & PT guidance - your gait analysis informs treatment & training at a far more custom, specific level than standard fitness & PT settings
Don’t just learn the what, get to the bottom of why.
Running form analysis is paired with hard measurements using cutting edge technology to get us to the root cause of pain, injury risk or performance. It provides clarity on why injuries aren’t resolving, why you’re at risk or why performance has hit a plateau, giving you the tools to correct it for good.
Runeasi is backed by 10 years of clinical research
We get measurable information on how hard you’re landing, instability/alignment and asymmetry which are highly correlated with performance & injury.
All of this reflected in an easy to understand running health score we can use to measure progress.
Live biofeedback gives us the ability to see what’s working with running gait retraining, taking out all the guesswork.
OUTCOMES
“For the past 2 years I have seen my running ability regressing to the point that I decided to consult with The Run Rx and sign up for gait analysis and training sessions. I’ve since seen improvements in my form with the adjustments recommended”
Tangible results after seeing them:
running sub-2 half marathons again (haven't for 3 years)
PR in the last marathon I ran
I can’t say enough good things about The RunRX. Every time I leave the practice I feel like a million bucks. If I could give more stars I would.
I had sought out professional advice in the past from running experts, chiropractors and other active recovery resources but no one had the solution for me. It had gotten to a point where I couldn’t even run.
It’s been about 8 weeks of healing at this point and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. A feeling I haven’t had for years.
