Running gait Analysis
Here at Plym Physio we offer a full running gait analysis services at our clinic in Plymouth in order to analyse your running style, correct form and prevent injury
Running, like a lot of sports and leisure activities is not only popular but increasingly influenced by technology and research as it becomes more accessible to the public. Historically running gait analysis was all about over-pronation and footwear. Now it is much more about ground reaction forces and running economy.
Running Gait Analysis in Plymouth
How can running gait analysis help?
Plym Physio has a particular interest in running, with its evidence based Physi-go run class, but now we have the chance to offer our specialist gait analysis service. With a treadmill now installed in the clinic and software to record and analyse all aspects of the gait cycle, we can now break down runners’ bio-mechanical patterns to pick up inefficiencies. This gives us the opportunity to intervene before injury occurs or put in place rehabilitation programmes to assist recovery and return our patients to peak performance.
What’s involved in Plym Physio’s running analysis package?
The running gait analysis package includes an initial assessment, analysis by an expert physiotherapist and then a feedback session which takes you through the findings and advice on technique modifications, ways in which to avoid injury whilst performing at your peak and, should the worst occur, a full rehabilitation programme.
