Not All Running Gait Assessments Deliver the Same Results

Running-related pain and performance challenges rarely come down to stride mechanics alone—they stem from how your entire body functions as a connected system.

Whether you’re experiencing knee discomfort, foot or ankle pain, hip issues, lower back tightness, or a decline in running efficiency, simply adjusting form often overlooks the true cause. Because running is highly repetitive, even small movement limitations can build up over thousands of steps and lead to bigger problems.

A comprehensive running gait assessment goes beyond watching how you move. It uses objective measures to reveal the deeper movement patterns that influence how force is generated, transferred, and absorbed throughout your body.

It’s not about correcting your form.
It’s about addressing the root of the issue.

What to Expect from a Running Gait Assessment at Physora Physio

A running gait assessment uses advanced technology to analyze how your body moves while you run. We combine treadmill running with 3D motion analysis to track your center of mass and how it responds with every stride.

This approach helps us understand not only what your running looks like, but why certain areas are being stressed—and what needs to change to reduce discomfort and improve efficiency.

Data-Driven Running Insights

Using 3D gait analysis software, such as Runeasi, we measure key performance variables including impact forces, left-to-right symmetry, dynamic stability, cadence, and ground contact time.

These tools allow us to see how effectively your body absorbs and produces force with each step. The objective data helps uncover inefficiencies and loading patterns that can lead to pain, breakdown, or stalled progress over time.

Whole-Body Movement Evaluation

Pain doesn’t always originate where you feel it.

We assess mobility, stability, and movement control throughout the entire body to identify restrictions that affect how force is transferred during running. Limitations in the hips, core, or ankles often show up as knee or foot discomfort on the run.

By identifying compensations early, we focus on correcting the source rather than chasing symptoms.

Clear Insights That Drive Results

You leave with a detailed understanding of how your body moves when you run, what’s contributing to inefficiency or discomfort, and where the greatest opportunities for improvement lie.

No generic advice. No guesswork.
Just a focused, personalized plan built around the real drivers of your running performance—guided by Physora Physio.
