Who Can Benefit from a Running Assessment?
Whether you are a casual runner or training for your next marathon, a running assessment is a fundamental tool in protecting yourself from injury and enhancing your performance. Not only can it help you heal current injuries, but it will help you in your journey to improving your performance as an athlete. Athletes that benefit from a running analysis:
High school athletes
Track and field athletes
Casual runners
Marathon runners
Triathlon athletes
Crossfitters
If you experience pain or discomfort when running, a gait analysis provides insight into what’s going on. For example, if you experience knee pain, you may have issues with knee flexion at mid-stance. A running physical therapist can create a treatment plan to correct these issues.
Prevent and heal Running injuries

Posture

A Running Gait Analysis and Assessment to Prevent Injury
As a runner, staying pain-free is everything. Otherwise, training for that next race can be a different level of stress. Getting injured means taking time off, holding back your training, or overcompensating, which leads to further injury, technique deficiencies, and time away from what you love.
