How will a running analysis help you become a better runner?

A running analysis involves using a slow motion camera to record your running stride. This video is then analyzed to observe cadence, alignment, and heel strike among other things. Using a slow motion camera allows us to notice subtle changes that may not be noticeable to the naked eye. We will then make adjustments to the gait pattern, leading to improved running form, efficacy, and decreasing pain if it exists.

We will also complete a full Physical Therapy Evaluation and discuss running shoes, diet, and running schedule. These are all important factors to consider for your running including reducing the risk of future injury. Corrective exercises and strengthening will be prescribed for you to complete on your own outside of treatment. After a few weeks, the running analysis will be retaken in order to observe whether changes have occurred (though you will likely feel it before then!)
