Running Gait Analysis

- Running Gait Analysis Specialists in North Wales -

Are you a runner and looking to improve your Form or Technique…? Then you have come to the right place. We are a dedicated Sports Clinic here in Rhos on Sea, to help runners!

Whether you are new to running or a seasoned runner; a Running MOT or Gait Analysis will set you up for success by highlighting areas of improvement to make you a stronger, faster and more resilient Runner!

Gait Analysis can help:

• New Runners
  Who want to start running safely (following the Couch to 5k app).

• Injured Runners
  Who are frustrated with frequent Niggles, Aches & Pains, who don’t want to rest and just take painkillers.

• Experienced Runners
  Who want to improve speed or distance and perform at their best.

• Elite Runners / Triathletes
  Who are looking for marginal gains and optimal performance.

If you’ve never had a running assessment, or learnt the correct techniques to prevent injuries and enhance your performance, now’s the time to invest in your running!

Our Gait sessions:

We have 3 options to choose from:

• Injury Analysis: (30mins)

This is the entry-level solution is suitable for anyone who just wants to get back to running safely again after an injury without their problem reoccurring!

NB: To complete an injury gait analysis you will need to be able to run comfortably on a treadmill for 5-10 minutes. If you are unable to do so (don’t worry), just start off with a Sports Physiotherapy Consultation first, and we can introduce Gait Analysis at a later date, when appropriate.

Common injuries we see include: Lower back pain, Knee pain, Shin splints, Calf strains, Achilles tendon problems and Plantar Fasciitis.

• Technique Analysis: (1hr) £75

Our Technique Analysis is a great option for runners who want to improve their Running efficiency, Speed &/or Endurance. It is our Most Popular option!

The session takes up to hour to complete and we start by recording HD footage of you running on a treadmill, to analyse form and technique. We will also review your footwear, along with any training plan data you have. You will leave the session with some simple and immediate advice to improve your running form. A re-evaluation is recommended in about 6 weeks to see what has improved. Research suggests that improving your running form can help prevent injury and improve your results!

Things we look out for: Running style, Stride mechanics, Landing impact, Torso position, Step-rate, Shoe/insole wearing patterns and any Training plan anomalies.

• Performance Analysis: (up to 2hrs) £140

Our Performance Analysis is the Ultimate Package for any Runner or Triathlete who wants the Complete Solution for both Training and Physical Performance.

We combine all the features of our Technique Analysis above, plus we carry out a full Sports Physio Consultation on top. This includes carrying out a full-body screening, to assess body movement, flexibility and overall strength. We can then create you a specific Strength and Conditioning programme to work on alongside any running adjustments.
