RUNNING AND GAIT ANALYSIS

Running injury and pain is extremely common but does not need to keep you from what you enjoy. Whether you are a recreational jogger or an elite runner, physical therapy will guide you and assist in the prevention of future injury.

 

Problems such as pain and injury can occur from poor running habits or when specific muscles are weak or tight. Our individualized treatment program for running pain and injury involves an in-depth analysis of your running form as well as tests and measures clinically proven to asses the root of your pain. Following your initial evaluation, a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and education on proper running form can help you achieve your running goals.
