Optimize your movement. Prevent injuries. Enhance performance
At Transitions Physical Therapy, our comprehensive biomechanical gait analysis helps you understand exactly how your body moves during walking and running. This detailed assessment identifies movement patterns that may be contributing to pain, increasing injury risk, or limiting your athletic performance.
What Is biomechanical gait analysis?
Biomechanical gait analysis is a systematic evaluation of your walking and running patterns. Our skilled physical therapists examine how your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and core work together during movement. Using advanced video analysis technology and clinical expertise, we identify compensatory patterns, muscular imbalances, and structural issues that affect your mobility.
Why choose gait analysis?
Whether you’re a weekend warrior, competitive athlete, or someone experiencing recurring pain, gait analysis provides valuable insights into your movement quality. Many common injuries stem from poor movement mechanics, including:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Shin splints and stress fractures
- Knee pain and IT band syndrome
- Hip discomfort and lower back pain
- Achilles tendon issues
Our comprehensive assessment process
During your gait analysis session, our experienced physical therapists will:
Observe your natural movement – We watch you walk and run, noting alignment, timing, and coordination patterns across all major joints.
Utilize video technology – Slow-motion video capture allows us to analyze subtle movement details that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
Assess strength and flexibility – We evaluate muscle strength, joint mobility, and flexibility to understand the underlying causes of movement dysfunction.
Provide detailed findings – You’ll receive clear explanations of our findings and how they relate to your symptoms or performance goals.
Personalized treatment solutions
Based on your analysis results, we develop targeted interventions that may include:
- Manual therapy to improve joint mobility
- Customized exercise programs to address muscle imbalances
- Movement retraining techniques
- Footwear recommendations
- Custom orthotic referrals when appropriate
