Running performance & gait analysis at GymTherapy includes:


1. In-Depth Pre-Assessment Screening & History
‍An in-depth discussion is had to understand your current and historic training and running history, previous injury history, any niggles/pains that you may currently experience on runs along with an understanding of your future goals & training.
‍

2. Running Gait Analysis - IMU & Video Analysis
We will then fit our Inertia Measurement Units (IMUs) onto you (feet and lower back) and perform gait analysis (including video analysis) whilst you are running on a treadmill. Different speeds will be utilised to determine what speed is currently most efficient for you and how this changes as pace changes, facilitating specific programming.
‍

3. Musculoskeletal & Performance Testing
The second part of our testing consultation includes specific joint and muscle assessment (linked to your previous/current injury history) along with strength & power testing to determine any asymmetries or strength deficits contributing to your running mechanics and efficiency.

‍

4. Analysis of Results - Individual Development Plan
Following our assessment, we discuss the key findings specific for you, the potential reasons/factors contributing to your running performance & gait along with an action plan to address these deficits. A running gait analysis report is sent to you along with your running performance development program to start your journey to better running!
‍

5. Support & Guidance

Throughout the process, continuous support and guidance is provided to ensure you achieve your running goals. Referral as required to our network of coaches may be appropriate to help you on your way to better running. Re-testing is completed to assess your improvement and make specific changes for you to help you continuously improve.
