One of the leading contributors to foot pain in runners can be from a poor foot strike position, as well as inappropriate footwear. A Running Gait Analysis allows for slow motion review of the biomechanics of the foot to understand if different running shoes or custom orthotics are required to improve support, or if further strengthening exercises would be of benefit to alter the foot strike position.

According to Sports Medicine Australia the most commonly injured area in all runners occurs in the knee. A Running Gait Analysis allows for slow motion review of the biomechanics of the lower leg, to understand the relationship the foot and hip have on causing knee pain. A Running Gait Analysis provides information for which treatment techniques will be most appropriate for the runner, which may include dry needling, strengthening exercises, deep tissue massage, custom orthotics and Exercise Led Prevention Classes.

A Running Gait Analysis provides a detailed assessment of whether the way in which the runner is functioning is contributing to their shin pain.
