Running Assessment Program

We ask you about your footwear, upcoming races, and training program. We then assess:

• Muscle strength of your lower body and core
• Endurance
• Flexibility

You'll run on a treadmill as we film your gait and gather data, such as running cadence, ground contact time, and vertical oscillation.

We film you from two points of view:

• The side view lets us gain information on tibial inclination angle and trunk lean
• The rear view gives us data on pelvic drop, crossover, and knee position

We upload your running gait video to a program called Kinovea. This program measures precise angles and helps us pinpoint what components of your running gait you should alter.

We also use RunScribe footpods to assess metrics such as flight ratio, footstrike type, and pronation excursion.

All of this data helps us decide the exact muscles we need to target to build strength and endurance and prevent running injury.

You’ll be able to watch your gait in real-time on the screen in front of you to help you make adjustments to avoid injury. After your running gait analysis and full assessment, we'll prescribe exercises that will:

• Address your unique running impairments
• Help you attain a more ideal running pattern
