ABOUT THIS SERVICE
More than a treadmill video.
Most running assessments are a brief treadmill clip and some generic cues. Ours is a comprehensive clinical evaluation — the same depth of assessment we'd give any injured patient.
"Roughly 50% of runners experience an injury in any given year. Most of them are entirely preventable with the right biomechanical understanding."
We combine a detailed running history, full physical examination, and multi-angle video gait analysis to build a complete picture of how you move — and where the inefficiencies or injury risks lie.
You leave with a personalised exercise and technique plan, delivered to your phone the same day. Not generic stretches — targeted interventions for your specific patterns.

IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Every type of runner benefits.
You don't need to be injured, elite, or training for a marathon to get value from a running assessment.
🔁
Runners with recurring injuries
Keep getting the same injury — ITB, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures? There's a biomechanical reason. We find it and fix it.
⚡
Performance-focused runners
Want to run faster or more efficiently? Small technique adjustments can meaningfully improve your economy and reduce your race times.
🌱
Beginners starting out
Starting a running program? Get the foundations right from day one and dramatically reduce your injury risk as your mileage builds.
🩹
Post-injury return to running
Returning after a hamstring, knee, ankle or stress fracture injury? We ensure you come back safely and don't repeat the same pattern.
🏅
Marathon & event training
Preparing for a half marathon, marathon, or trail event? Optimise your gait before your training load peaks.
📉
Runners who've lost confidence
Had a bad injury and now running with fear? Understanding exactly what went wrong — and correcting it — restores confidence as well as biomechanics.
HOW IT WORKS
Your assessment, step by
step.
Here's exactly what happens during your running assessment session.
1
Running history & goal review
We discuss your weekly mileage, training load, race history, current and past injuries, footwear, and what you're trying to achieve. Context shapes everything that follows.
2
Physical examination
Muscle strength testing, joint range of motion, flexibility assessment, and identification of any imbalances or weaknesses that could affect your gait.
3
Video gait analysis
We record your running gait from the front, side, and rear. We analyse foot strike, cadence, stride length, hip drop, trunk lean, arm drive, and more — with frame-by-frame review.
4
Real-time feedback & cue corrections
We share the video with you, explain exactly what we're seeing, and work with you in real-time to test technique adjustments and cues you can immediately apply.
5
Personalised plan delivered same day
A targeted exercise program and technique cue list tailored to your specific findings — sent to your phone via our app within 24 hours. Not a generic PDF.
