Expert Running Gait Analysis in Ventura, CA
Run stronger, stay injury-free, and hit your goals with a data-driven running gait analysis at Golden State Performance Physical Therapy. Dr. Maya uses slow-motion video and objective force plate testing to find exactly what’s holding your stride back — then builds a plan to fix it.
Still Running Through Pain and Getting Nowhere?
Most runners keep logging miles hoping the pain disappears — only to face a longer setback. If your training has stalled, your pace is slipping, or an injury keeps coming back, the problem isn’t effort. It’s missing the root cause.
The Pain Keeps Returning
You’ve rested, foam-rolled, and tried a new pair of shoes — but the knee pain, IT band tightness, or Achilles flare-up comes right back once you ramp up mileage again.
Generic PT Isn’t Getting Results
You’ve done the standard exercises, but nobody has actually watched you run or tested your strength. Assembly-line care treats your symptoms — not your stride or your sport.
Your Race Goals Are Slipping Away
Whether it’s your first 5K or your next Ironman, every week sidelined is another week behind. You need answers and a real plan — not another ‘just rest a bit longer.’

What Ventura Athletes Are Saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I reached out to Golden State PT with some severe pain in my foot. I was limping and couldn’t put any weight on it. Within a short time window, Maya organized an initial call to ask me about my activity levels, how the injury happened and more. We met and she diagnosed me with Achilles tendinitis, after a series of range of movement and strength tests. I was set specific rehabilitation and strength work 2-3 times a week along with in person treatment. There were some very fast results.”
Alex Jones

“Maya really helped me manage my migraines and neck pain from tension and overuse! I’m now back to lifting without restrictions and I’m feeling stronger than ever with Maya’s guidance. I’m so happy to no longer be limited by my pain. Highly recommend!”
Vanessa Urquilla
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Maya was extremely professional in working with me and being a great PT—pushing me! I needed that! My neck/shoulder and all that feels so much better—reborn. My only regret is that I should’ve booked an appointment 6 weeks earlier!!”
