Running Gait Analysis & Shoe Inspection
Performed partially outside as well as on a treadmill, gait analysis is a biomechanical assessment of running posture and position. Running Gait Analysis is useful in the evaluation and treatment of lower extremity dysfunctions associated with running as well as corrective coaching to improve running efficiency, performance enhancement, and reduce injury risk. Shoe selection and recommendations can be made based on foot type and running style.
Mobility Assessments
Integrated movement assessment of all the elements that potentially restrict movement and effect performance. To include treatment of tight muscles, soft tissue restrictions, joint dysfunctions, range of motion restrictions, neural dynamics, and capsular restrictions. Mobility assessments are useful as a proactive approach to prevent injury by establishing symmetry from one side of our body to the other. Assessment findings are also useful for program development aimed at improving performance.
Post Injury Running and Recovery Program
This program is a dynamic multi-phased program to treat simple and/or complex injuries associated with running. The program combines physical therapy intervention and post-injury run coaching to return the injured runner back to injury-free running. Participants will function as therapy patients and students as they are moved through the phases of injury recovery back to running.
Intended to be informative for running technique coaching, our running coaches work to analyze, educate and correct the running form, and technique of our participants.
Utilizing film, drills as well as education about the postures, and positions associated with running our coaches are able to help improve participants’ technique and efficiency.
Due to popular demand, our clinics are also held as private sessions, one on one with a coach, or in small groups at our office.
