Running Assessment

How can our physiotherapists help?

Our Running Assessment is designed to help runners of all levels—whether you’re a beginner, seasoned athlete, or recovering from an injury—optimise your running technique, reduce the risk of injury, and enhance overall performance.

Symptoms, Treatments and Approach

During the assessment, our expert physiotherapists will guide you through a comprehensive evaluation that includes the following steps:

1. Initial Assessment

We begin with a detailed evaluation of your body’s range of motion, identifying any asymmetries or imbalances. This step also includes a discussion of your medical history to better understand any past injuries or issues that could impact your running.

2. Lower Limb Strength and Balance Analysis

Using our advanced VALD force plates, we assess the power and coordination of your lower limbs. This helps establish a baseline of strength and balance, highlighting areas that may need improvement to enhance your running efficiency and reduce your risk of injury.

3. Treadmill Running Analysis

You’ll undergo a running technique assessment on our treadmill, where we analyse your:

  • Trunk and upper body movement, including posture and arm swing.

  • Lower body mechanics, focusing on hip, knee, and ankle alignment.

  • Foot strike patterns and ground contact times to identify inefficiencies or areas of concern.

This detailed analysis provides valuable insights into your running form and technique.

4. Personalised Feedback and Action Plan

Once the assessment is complete, we’ll provide you with a clear explanation of the findings. Together, we’ll review the results of your strength, balance, and running technique assessments. Based on these insights, we’ll create a tailored plan of action designed to:

  • Improve your running efficiency.

  • Address any areas of concern or asymmetry.

  • Reduce the risk of future injuries.
