Running Gait Analysis

Many people don't realize that, while running may come naturally, there is definitely a correct form that protects your joints, muscles, and feet as you run. This is where a running gait analysis can come in handy, especially if you like to run.

A running gait analysis will look at your entire body as you run, from the front, side, and back. Experts will look for how your arms move, your trunk rotates, how your knees align with your feet, how you hold your head, the position of your pelvis as you run, your stride length, and so much more. If you experience pain in your feet, knees, or hips and you suspect it may be from running, schedule a run gain analysis at our Lakeville location!

Injury prevention is critical for runners, and our wellness center offers comprehensive programs tailored to reduce the risk of common running injuries.

Additionally, we provide education on proper warm-up and cool-down techniques, along with tips on choosing the right footwear and training surfaces. By implementing these strategies, you'll not only boost your performance but also enjoy a safer running experience.
