Running Gait Assessments and Running Injury Management
Run Faster and Injury Free
If you’re a runner, you’ve come to the right place.
Uniquely, our entire team of physiotherapists are runners themselves, and certified by The Running Clinic to assess and treat runners.
Whether you’re a beginner, returning after an injury, or a seasoned runner, our Running Gait Analysis and approach to managing running injuries provide personalized insights you can use to train smarter, improve performance, or finally be able to run without pain.
The Runeasi 3D wearable sensor is small and lightweight, which is worn around your hips like a belt, close to your center of mass. Using this technology, we can access high-quality knetic data in real-time, which can be paired with our clinical reasoning to provide personalized recommendations for your goals.
Physiotherapy Running Gait Assessments
At our physiotherapy clinic, a running gait analysis combines clinical expertise, high-definition video, and advanced wearable technology from Runeasi to give you a clear picture of how your body moves while running. We assess your running technique and can measure factors such as your stride, how much impact you have while you run, and any assymmetries that can be hard to see with the naked eye.
We then provide personalized recommendations on technique, and as appropriate, can also include advice on training, exercises, and footwear. Following the session, you will receive gait videos with commentary and a summary of our recommendations, giving you actionable insight to understand your running mechanics and run with more confidence.
You may benefit from a running assessment if you are:
New to running
Dealing with a long-standing injury or have a history of getting running injuries
Returning to running after a long break
A runner or triathlete who wants to perform better or run faster
A master’s runner dealing with joint pain or osteoarthritis
A master’s runner dealing with joint pain or osteoarthritis
An athlete looking to improve their stride and performance or have their jumping analyzed
Running Injury Management
At MoveMed Physiotherapy, all of our physiotherapists have advanced training in evidence-based running assessment and injury management, and many even teach these methods to other clinicians. In collaboration with The Running Clinic and leading universities, we actively contribute to research on running injuries to ensure our approach stays at the cutting edge.
