This is an accurate and scientific analysis used to track the movement of your posture including pelvis, legs, and feet during functional movement, such as walking and running. This analysis provides a scientific and accurate assessment of your gait mechanics and is combined with a clinical assessment by a health professional.
Our Running analysis service is a one and a half hour consultation and costs £70
How is it done?
We analyze your posture and joint range of motion before moving on to your running biomechanics. We identify any weaknesses that may be detrimental to your running performance and help you improve them.
The assessment begins with a posture analysis and a running posture strength analysis. We also assess the structure and function of your feet and whether you over pronate (as many do) and whether you may need any specific shoe or orthotic intervention. During this session we also assess your single leg balance ability, a quality often neglected when improving functional ability in sports.
Following posture-based assessments, we then analyze your running looking specifically at joint motion. We compare both sides of the body to highlight any inefficiencies in your run. This is done using our Kinetisense Software. and /or Catapult Optimeye Motion Analysis Pods. This gives us the opportunity to assess you running in the real on road environment
What you will receive…
A detailed report of your running gait highlighting biomechanical issues, movement asymmetries and performance indicators (if appropriate), which will be discussed with you. This may include a 2D and 3D animation of you running/walking on the treadmill, highlighting the main areas to monitor and improve.
This report also includes:
– A rehabilitation programme to address any issues identified.
– Running technique and performance advice,
– Further treatment recommendations if necessary, which might include gait retraining.
If you are struggling with an injury the end result is an individualized report pinpointing the root cause of your injury and what needs to be done to prevent and rehabilitate from the injury.
Youths Athletes
For a developing Athlete between the ages of 12 and 18 we also do Speed efficiency and development tests
These are aimed at highlighting any areas that may need to be improved upon so that the athlete can reach their full performance potential.
The results of the tests will allow us to develop a development plan that can be implemented along with their current training and be managed so that there is significantly less injury risk
